J. Crew is having their annual spring event today with so many great pieces discounted up to 50% off. It’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe for spring! You know I can’t resist anything striped, especially if it’s blue and white. I love this lady jacket, and the gold…
Shopping for swimsuits have never been my favorite, but they’re essential for us in the summer. Between our pond club, Nantucket, and trips to the shore with Mike’s family, we ALL become water babies. Finding the best one-piece swimsuit I feel good in is a top priority for my postpartum body! Best One-Piece Swimsuits 2024…
I have to confess this isn’t the most inspired week of outfits. You’ll have to forgive me. After a week of gloriously springy weather, the temperatures plummeted again and we had a huge deluge of rain too. It left me feeling uninspired when getting dressed. I just wanted to wear leggings and sweatshirts as we…
Whew, a lot has happened since my last “ten things” post! I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // Love Is Blind So I know this is kind of “over”…
Hello from another Friday! We are grooving along through March– how?! We are officially in spring and it’s been a welcome change. The temperatures dipped again this week, but we’re so close to better weather that I can almost taste it. Ever since the pandemic, spring has been my favorite season. During March 2020, I would…

RESORTWEAR 2024 There were so many cute summer dresses that it was hard to narrow them down. This breezy mini dress is vacation ready and has a fun, vibrant…
The first five weeks of Rory’s life have truly flown by and now Easter is a week and a half away! It’s the first holiday we’ll be spending with both boys and I can’t believe we’re already crossing off this “milestone.” 🥺 To me, the best Easter basket stuffers are things that they either won’t…
What a week! We had a few fun plans and also just a lot of family time– and great weather to enjoy! It was a little bit of a tease for what’s to come. Jack is as rambunctious as ever and Rory has been waking up a bit more as he grows and grows. I am…
Whew! This second pregnancy did a number on my body. Now that I’m a month out of pregnancy, I’m feeling more at “peace” with my body– but I’m definitely facing the reality that my body is forever changed. It was already changed after having Jack… but even more so now. I’m trying not to stress about…

✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
