I love this dress. I’m probably not tall enough to pull it off with flats, but considering I can’t wear heels right now, this is as good as I can get. I’d actually love your shoe input– let me know what you think shoe-wise! My friend Julia (who is much taller than me) looked adorable wearing the…
Note from Carly: This post started as notes in my phone over the summer. Then I sat down to write the post over a month ago. It’s been sitting in my drafts folder, purely out of fear of posting. I straddle this line where I want to share what I’m feeling, but I’m also struggling with…
It feels funny to be writing this right now. It’s currently chilly and rainy outside and dark and cozy inside my apartment. It certainly doesn’t feel like the time of year when you should be making summery purchases. BUT, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale launched this morning!!! Even though we’re close to fall, this…
Oh, these quick and easy recipes from Louisa this week sound delicious! Despite my belief that we still have a couple weeks left of summer, fall temperatures crept in this weekend. (I legit had to wear a coat two days in a row 😩.) It was so chilly and rainy yesterday that we did sandwiches…
I have been pretty great about taking care of my skin lately. I drink plenty of water. I get enough sleep. I never go to bed with makeup. I (pretty much always) moisturize before bed. But last week, my skin was not great. At all. I didn’t have breakouts necessarily (my usual skin culprit), but it…
I was looking through a list I had made about things I wanted to do in NYC during the summer. One of the things that I have been dying to do but just hadn’t gotten around to it was visiting DŌ in New York City. The bakery “went viral” in the past couple of years for…
Happy Friday! This has been such a fun week. It’s always nice to kick off with a holiday on Monday. We hosted a backyard barbecue, which was quite fun and forced me to deep clean the apartment. (Nothing like having friends come over to be inspired to clean, ha.) I spent Tuesday playing catch up; I…
I attended a fun event with Nordstrom’s 1901 brand a few weeks ago. I got to meet some of the team behind the brand, which is always such a treat as a blogger. We got a sneak peek of what’s to come (fall styles look amazing), but I wanted to share the skirt I wore before…
I read some amazing books this summer. I love to read year round, but there is something extra great about sitting down with a book during a slow summer day. (Probably only second best to a snow day spent reading.) In today’s post, I’m going to share books I read, what I’m currently reading, and a…

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

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
