Apple of my Eyelet

This has long been one of my go-to dresses for super hot summer days. J. Crew had it on their site for a couple of years and then Factory brought it back this year. It’s almost sold out online unfortunately but I couldn’t resist sharing this outfit. If your size is sold out, I did…

I actually think it’s one of those things that comes down to personal preference and dogs’ temperaments more than anything else. I have friends with pups who literally snooze like…

In a Neutral Mood

After a cute summer dress, a monochromatic look is one of the easiest ways to get dressed while on a trip. It takes the guesswork out of things and even if the colors are slightly off (cream with white), it still works. I wore this multiple times while on Nantucket and felt so good each time….

What I Read in July

This was a tougher month for reading. Whereas the first half of the year I was in Hoboken reading every free minute I had, now I’m in this house and every chance I get I’m mostly organizing, cleaning, or putting something together. Reading has been shoved to the backburner. It also didn’t help that I…
