I love the idea of a jumpsuit. I try them on all the time and they usually fall short. Literally. I have such a long torso that most jumpsuits simply do not work. (There have been more than a handful that I can’t even get up and over my shoulders!) It doesn’t stop me from…
So I’m doing this post in part because Fourth of July is three weeks away (which legitimately blows my mind– wasn’t it just, like, January?) and this’ll give you ample time to get your reds, whites, and blues ready to go. And also in part because Fourth of July aside, red/white/blue is kind of my…
I don’t love shopping while I travel. Especially now with the internet, it’s not even that necessary. I remember when my sister and I were younger, it was a huge deal to come to NYC because the store selection was better… but now? You can just get everything online. Even brands that are based in…
We had our very first barbecue of the season in our backyard this past weekend. I usually let someone else take over the grill (like my dad or Mike!), but last summer I donned the grill tongs and fired up the grill by myself while on vacation. While the results were far from perfect… the…
I took these photos in front of Onieal’s in Hoboken. They have my very favorite burger (of all time) and, funny enough, I’m writing this as I just polished off a burger I got to go. Totally unrelated to the outfit, but I’m just sitting here typing away feeling perfectly full and happy and felt…
Dyson Blowdryer // My blowdryer recently bit the dust. Midway through drying my hair one morning it just went caput. Luckily, I have a mini-dryer I use for travel so I wasn’t totally left high and (not) dry. I was doing a bit of research, as one does, before making my next purchase and I decided…
Happy Friday, friends! I had to take it easy earlier this week with a pinched nerve. Luckily it happened over the weekend so I just gave myself permission to lay as low as possible. After 24 hours of immobilization and a trip to the chiropractor, I feel 100% better already. (That said, I’m trying to…
I had this top in my shopping cart on and off for three weeks. I kept changing my mind and wasn’t sure if it would fit and/or look cute. I don’t do a lot of tops like this one! I ended up trying it in the store and loved it. I even packed it for…
I’ve been getting a lot of requests for things to do and where to eat in Hoboken. I would consider myself the farthest from a Hoboken expert. Having lived here for a year though, I’ve discovered some of my favorites spots. I also live more downtown in Hoboken, so my go-to spots are mostly there….

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Matching aprons from @weezietowels!
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you.

✨ 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)
