Diary No. 13

This has been a fun two weeks of travel and visitors! Some iPhone snaps: Mike’s family’s boathouse is dreamy. We spent most of the (extra long) weekend up there playing ping pong, reading, and looking out at the water. I have to say… why on earth is ping pong so fun?! Could have played for hours!…

On My Radar

I have a full weekend of house projects lined up! From assembling furniture to doing a little bit of painting and working on our yard some more. I have to say, I find these things to be so rewarding. Every week, it feels a bit more like home!! Hosting a little giveaway to celebrate hitting 10k…

Why I Love Shopping Secondhand

National Thrift Day is this Saturday, August 17. I’m excited to announce my partnership with my favorite online resale site thredUP just in time to celebrate the day (stay tuned for a special promo at the end of this post). This year I’ve been really trying to implement greener practices into my life. I’m not perfect, but I’m…

Hermès Scarves

I kind of want to buy an Hermès scarf to frame in our living room. I actually haven’t purchased a single thing for the entire room so we’re working with a completely blank canvas. I’d say that I’m pretty open to everything in there but if I found a gorgeous scarf for one of the…

My Favorite Lilly

I’ve “retired” nearly all of my Lilly dresses. I have a few that I keep up here with me but I just don’t have that many opportunities to wear them and I find myself reaching for different brands/styles even when I go on trips. I will still forever love Lilly, but I think my days of…

Trying to be More Consistent? Three things to Remember

I’ve always been a fairly regimented person, which lends itself well to being a consistent person. Although I’m not consistent with everything, if I put my mind to something more often than not I’ll stick with it for the duration of the goal (and longer). Maxie’s here to share some great things to keep in mind…

Beach Dress on Sale

I’m posting about this dress again because it’s on sale! I’ve been reaching for this dress quite often this summer. These photos were from a night on Nantucket earlier last month. Meghan and I popped by an event in town and then came back to the house to finish up preparations for our feast. Everyone…

Yard Games

Now that we’re in the suburbs and loving it, I’m all about getting the house ready for entertaining. We’ve been having people over a few times a week for casual weekday dinners, weekend brunches, and Friday night parties. If you asked me five years ago, I would have said I would be voted the Least…

On My Radar

My mom finally made it up to see our house!! Her original flight was canceled a couple of weeks ago, so this is her “make up” trip. It’s been so fun to show her around town and hang out one on one. I’m planning on digging into even more projects around the house. Ordering products…
