Despite the cold and rain we’re still experiencing, I’ve been getting pretty excited for all things summer. Thankfully (hopefully!) things are finally starting to settle down here and I’m able to get my head above the water. The next two weeks are gearing up to be a little crazy, but the best kind of crazy!…
There is a major trend right now for raffia shoes. I spotted a few online this week and kind of fell in love. I’m a huge fan of white and nude shoes throughout the summer, and these raffia styles are even more summery and lovely. I will say though, woven raffia is definitely on the…
Last week, I had quite a few events in the city. On Friday, I met up with Carter before one of the events to shoot my outfit for the day. It has been pretty cold this May, but it was actually pretty warm (and humid) that Friday so it was nice to wear a seasonal…
I’ve always been a disciplined person. I think it’s written in my internal code. I mean, I was waking up on my own with an alarm clock in second grade and packing my own lunch for school because I wanted to no deviation of when I woke up and no surprises of what I would…
We have friends over quite a bit (well, at least once a week which feels like a lot for an introvert). And I’m absolutely terrible about hosting– I usually just defer to Mike when it comes to the food. Although, I’m really great at desserts like chocolate chip cookies and s’mores. I’m going to have to file these recipes…
Can we just talk about how darling this dress is? The Tuckernuck team is the best at curating their online boutique. When I heard they were starting their own line of clothing, I knew it was going to be good. I knew they’d be creating just the very best items that represented their brand and, ultimately,…
Anyone else get in the mood to change your iPhone’s look? I used to change it all the time but now I stick to one for a while. There are so many cute options out there right now though that I’m tempted to start switching it up more. Right now I’ve been all about this monogram…
This was supposed to be a big week of moving but everything has come to a screeching halt. I’ll share more when I can, but you know life. Never goes quite like you planned 😉Despite the frustration and some disappointment and plenty of eagerness, I’ve been looking for silver linings and this week was chock full of…
I live pretty close to a park where a lot of kids go after school. Now that it’s warm out pretty consistently, the ice cream trucks have descended onto the park. One afternoon there was a line down the block with eager kids (and parents). The temptation is real. Mister Softee just brings me back all the…

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…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

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

✨ 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)
