I just created a document on my laptop to start reflecting on the year. It’s been a year, to say the least, and while I’m ready to jump right into the new year, I think it’s very much worth reflecting on what’s happened over the past 365 days. Not convinced? Maxie’s got you covered. Why You…
Shuffle Off to Buffalo
December is one of my favorite months to dress for. There’s just something so festive about the month and the cold air still feels exciting not miserable (yet). I partnered with Nordstrom for this post and it may be my favorite holiday look yet.
I love that this look is a little bit elevated. It’s somewhere between “festive sweater” and “fancy party attire.” I wore this to run a few errands in Greenwich last week, but I really wanted to head into the city and go ice skating in Central Park!
A Thing Created Giveaway
Today’s a fun giveaway with A Thing Created! I love her prints year-round, but they’re especially adorable right now for the holidays. If you are need of wrapping paper or last-minute gifts, I highly recommend! (I am absolutely obsessed with these ice skating in Central Park cards!) One winner is going to get everything she needs…
On My Radar
Sorry for the radio silence over the past day or so! I got some kind of stomach bug and I’ve only been able to nibble dry toast! Hopefully, this is it as far as winter sickness goes for me. Fingers crossed. I also wanted to give a quick housekeeping update… The College Prepster app is…
Reading Update
I have been on a reading roll lately. For the first time in a long time, I’ve actually had time to dedicate to reading. (The sun setting at 4 pm probably has something to do with it.) The books that I read have been great too, and that certainly doesn’t hurt. This is also the…
Gift Guide for the Girl You Love
When I did my gift guide for guys, I had a few requests for gift guides for girlfriends, plus a few emails. As always, I think the best gifts are ones that are picked out with the person in mind and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a lot of money. These are some of my ideas for great gifts, all of which I’d love to receive myself. So bookmark this page or send to someone to drop a not-so-subtle hint!
7 Treats to Make this Holiday Season
My mouth was watering as I read the draft of Louisa’s post for today. And it was perfect timing. I’m starting to put together a list of all the people I want to give little holiday “thank you” notes to (the dogs’ vet, their doggy daycare, our apartment concierge, gym instructor, etc.) and wanted to…
Navy Lace Dress
As my calendar started filling up with events for December, I started the search for great holiday dresses. I ordered a number of dresses from Nordstrom under $100 (you should have seen the box when it arrived!) and couldn’t really choose a favorite one. But, if I absolutely had to choose a favorite though, it would be this dress.
Kate Spade Handbag Giveaway
To kick off the holiday season, I’ve teamed up with Kate Spade to give away one of their must-have handbags of the season. I got mine a few weeks ago and have been carrying it as often as it matches my outfit. It’s the cutest little bag that still fits everything you could possibly need. It…
