The Perfect Plaid Scarf

| 15 Comments

A couple of years ago I found the perfect plaid scarf at Target of all places. I actually think my sister found it if my memory serves correctly. It really was the perfect plaid, and I’ve been searching for a similar option ever since I put it on my blog. Every fall, I start to get inquiries about where to get that particular scarf. I have tried to find similar ones throughout the years, but they’re never quite as cute.

I found a super similar one today though! (It’s the “Ivory Multi Plaid” option and I also love the “Bright Scarlett Plaid.”)

Apple Picking at Fishkill Farms

Every September, I start looking forward to apple picking. I don’t even know why it makes me so happy, but it does.

This year, I went with Carter to take some fun photos and to bring some apples home, of course. I actually had so many apples that I had bags to give away to my friends! (Don’t worry, I saved quite a few for myself!)

Oh gosh, YES. This guest post from Maxie is something we should all be considering. When I think about what I have time for and what I don’t, I’m really saying, these are my priorities, and these are not.

HAPPY OCTOBER. How on earth is it October already? I swear it feels like it was May about a week ago. October is one of my favorite months for outfit planning because #plaid. But also because I can dip into my cool weather wardrobe without having to bundle up. To celebrate the new month, I’ve rounded up twenty…

Do you guys have a lot of weddings coming up? Most of my friends are either already married or not in relationships, so I’ve been in a weird “in between” stage as far as weddings. I am going out to San Fransisco in the middle of October for the wedding of one of my boyfriend’s…

On My Radar

This week was filled with highs and lows. Well, one major low… I had a major back spasm! I pulled my lower back last week while cleaning (ugh) and it felt sore but generally okay this weekend. On Monday, it was starting to spread up my back, and on Tuesday, I could hardly move. I…

New Monogrammed Bedding

I’ve been slowly making changes to my bedroom over the past year or so. I’m so bad at this stuff, so it takes me forever until I feel like things are coming together. You know how on television shows when they have the decorator come in and pull the design together in two hours? That’s…

How I FINALLY Cleared My Skin

| 35 Comments

I have come to terms with the fact that I will never have perfect skin. I’m very fair, so I am pretty suseptible to sun exposure (I think I’m always a little bit sunburned even with my best sunscreen efforts). I also have sensitive skin so the littlest thing (a bad fragrance, a weird color, something…

My friend Molly’s book is coming out this week! I wanted to help her promote it, so she wrote a (super!!!!) helpful guest post for the blog. We met a few years ago after speaking on a panel together, and I was actually already subscribed to her blog too. This guest is particularly apropos considering…
