7 Recipes That Are Better Than Takeout

| 9 Comments

This post couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I try so hard to avoid ordering takeout. (Except for Saturday nights because I almost always “need” a pizza by then!) With all these apps available, it’s easier than ever to have all kinds of delicious food show up at your door within an hour….

Wrapped in Cashmere

| 16 Comments

I lovingly joke that the only thing that gets me through the winters is wearing as much cashmere as possible. You guys know that I’m not the biggest spender when it comes to clothes, but I like quality, classic pieces that I can wear year after year. If I’m buying into something trendier, I’d prefer to find a good deal. But for something I know that will last me a while? I’m okay making more of an investment. That’s how I feel about cashmere. Pricier than a normal sweater, for sure, but so much more luxurious!

Affordable Holiday Dresses

| 12 Comments

For today’s post, I’m rounding up some affordable dresses fit for holiday festivities. I’ve kept all of these dresses under $100, and many are even more on sale with weekend codes. Make sure you check the website’s homepage for a code before you place an order, just in case! Even though it’s early November, the invites are starting to roll in. And it’s always a good idea to have a dress or two on hand for last minute parties (or date nights).

On My Radar

I’m currently in Georgetown for an event with Tuckernuck (it went great), and the weather is so perfect. Whenever I visit, I wonder why on earth I didn’t consider living here after college. I think I was just so ready to leave that I didn’t bother to consider that it might be different to live here…

When You’re Going Through a Break Up

Biiiiiiiiig breath. That’s me talking to myself right now. I’ve dreaded this post, and I’ve also thought about it pretty much every day since the day I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. But, to be totally upfront right now, this is not about him or the details of the breakup. It’s no one’s business, including my…

Fuzzy Foliage

I went through a bunch of variations of this outfit before landing on this for the post. Sometimes, outfits that look amazing in person don’t end up photographing well or translating to “blog worthy.” I really wanted to showcase these velvet jeans in the best light. The truth is that you can pretty much wear them as you would jeans. They can be casual or dressed up with heels… perfect for holiday parties when you want to wear pants instead of a dress.

Holiday Shoes

I couldn’t wait to get this post up. This morning I got back from the chiropractor and checked my mailbox before walking upstairs. Over the past two years, I’ve gotten on so many catalog mailing lists, but there’s always a few I look for specifically. Talbots is one!

This month’s catalog did not disappoint and, while there’s a ton of cute stuff in there (like this ski/tree sweater), it’s the SHOES that steal the show. So many adorable shoes, perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Guys… I want them all. All the heart eyes… Also, today is the last day of their friends and family sale, so you can use “FRIENDS30” at checkout for 30% off.
