8 Recipes to Cook This Memorial Day

I LOVE summer barbecues. Like, love isn’t even a big enough word. Give me corn on the cob, a burger, watermelon slices, and some cole slaw and I am one happy lady. I think a big part of it is that barbecues encourage outdoor eating and lots of togetherness, so I have the best memory…

Tampa Trip

As sad as it can be not living near my family, it’s pretty great they live somewhere fun like Tampa. It’s hard to believe that I’m coming up on my ten year anniversary of moving away after high school. Obviously, I was there during summers and on the occasional break when crew practice didn’t get…

Rugby Dress

Ah! I had a few rugby dresses back in the day and I’m so happy to see that they’re coming back. I had a Lacoste one that I wore all the time in high school. It’s fun to see trends come back around! This dress is from Nordstrom’s new 1901 line. It’s very J. Crew-esque with…

On My Radar

Mother’s Day Surprise

Memorial Day Packing List with J. Crew

I’m so excited to be partnering with J. Crew for this post. It’s all about creating your wardrobe for Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day is one of my favorite weekends of the year because it’s the “official” start of summer. Summer Fridays kick in, the sun is out longer and brighter, and weekend getaways are…

Where to Start When You Have a BIG Dream

I will never forget the day Maxie scheduled a “meeting” (i.e. a regular coffee date) with me and told me she wanted to start a blog. I have helped a LOT of people over the years get social media accounts and blogs off the ground, but no one comes close to how excited I was…

Chambray Wrap Dress

Hope you guys have something fun planned for Mother’s Day. I’m so happy to be in Florida celebrating with my mom– and my whole family really. I haven’t been home since Thanksgiving and it’s always nice to be down here. I’ve only been “held hostage” in my mom’s car three times. 😂 (Please tell me that…
