My inbox has been flooded with graduation gift ideas. My parents gifted me furniture for my first apartment. I couldn’t think of anything better. Sometimes I wish I had opted for something a little fancier like a piece of jewelry, but not having to spend money the first week of moving into an expensive (for…
A GINGHAM CAKE
I had to all caps the title of this post because, um, it’s a gingham cake. Originally hadn’t planned on dedicating a whole post to this. I’ve been trying to keep my Youtube content separate (although if you want to subscribe, please do! two new videos go up every week!) I met Stephanie Nass at an…
Gingham Sandals
I’m more than a little obsessed with this outfit. There is nothing quite like a white tee and jeans in my opinion. Easiest outfit ever? Yes. But also the easiest to accessorize with because it’s such a “blank slate.” Talbots sent me these gingham bow sandals and they have just been sitting pretty. I have been…

It doesn’t matter who you are, at some point, everyone experiences a tough day in one form or another. I wish it wasn’t the case, but life isn’t always “rainbows and butterflies.” Maxie has seen me through a few rough days and I’ve seen her through a few of her own. Loving her tips here…
Recent Reads
I can’t remember the last time I posted the books I finished, which means it’s been far too long. I’ve cut my nightly reading time in half because I am very much enjoying rewatching The Office; I look forward to watching a bit every night so I’m okay knowing that I’m not reading as much as I…
Fun Summer Dresses Under $100
Have you guys made the switch in your closets from cold to warm weather clothes? I was a bit premature in doing it, but I had so many velvet and flannel pieces that I couldn’t wear from a seasonal perspective. So I figured I’ll be extra prepared for when we have (actual) warm weather. One…

I’m partnering with Macy’s today to let you know about their Friends and Family sale happening now! YAY! I put together this outfit and, bah!, I love it. Shirtdresses are the best, especially in the summer. They’re as timeless as it gets not to mention how universally flattering they are! With a belt around the waist you can…
Thursday Edition: On My Radar
My best friend got engaged this weekend and I drove up to Boston to surprise and celebrate with her, her fiancé, and family and friends. Her fiancé texted me a few months ago to see if I was free this weekend. I immediately knew why he was texting and burst into tears. It was the hardest…
Into the City
When I moved out of the city a few years ago, I never wanted to move back. My mom likes to bring it up weekly on whether or not I miss certain things and the answer has always been a big no, I don’t miss it. It was such a fun period of my life to…
