I take sun protection very seriously– my skin is pretty sensitive, especially being as pale as I am. With wider brims, sunhats offer top notch coverage while adding that “finishing touch” to your summer outfits. Over the years I’ve developed quite a collection, including my beloved Peter Beaton straw hat. While rounding up the best…
Back today with everything I wore last week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We got hit with some less than ideal weather and usually it would really affect my mood. Luckily, we made the best of it! Jack and I got outside as much as possible in between thunderstorms and I took it as an excuse to be…
Wow, wow, wow! I am just on the biggest Dôen kick right now. Every piece of theirs that I put on just feels like a dream. A perfect balance of casual elegance. If you’re looking for feminine effortlessness, definitely check out what Dôen has to offer. Many of their dresses are easy, breezy. Especially great…
It’s time for another “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 // Jack and Sports Jack has always shown interest in balls and it has intensified lately. My sister…
Just in time for the Fourth, J. Crew Factory has some of the cutest pieces right now. I love all the red, white, and blue. I’m sharing some cute picks for women and then some of my favorites for girls and boys, too. I actually placed an order for myself (and got this t-shirt for Jack)….
Summer is in full swing around here! I actually can’t believe how quickly June is flying by?!? We are all heading to Nantucket next week for a couple of weeks and right now I’m just trying to get all my ducks in a row for the trip. It’s actually nice now that Jack is a…
With the summer season in full swing, I’ve been shopping for flowy sundresses and wanted to round up an edit of the best affordable sundresses under $150 that you can bookmark and come back to later this summer! Sleeveless Midi Dress // Linen Blend Sweetheart Midi // Pink Poplin Maxi // Striped Puff Sleeve Midi…
I love a good tote…. a lot. They’re SO versatile! I usually “rotate” through them, using one for a while before switching to another. Since becoming a mom, I’ve also found it’s easiest to keep a dedicated tote stocked with all of Jack’s essentials. Right now, I’m using the striped tote I designed with Neely…
Another week of outfits here for the blog! I only have six days of outfits because Sunday I did an outfit repeat (this dress is the best for activities!). Mostly just a week of fun around here. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I have been charging through some to-dos that have been nagging me. Nothing urgent and…

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_us!
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.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
