Picnic Outfit.
The weekends right now have been wonderful in New York. While there’s a tiny bit of a chill in the air still (especially in the shade), it’s been nearly perfect weather for eating outdoors. I’ve been on the hunt for the best outdoor seating- especially on the Upper East Side- but I’ve also been super inspired…
Survival Guide for College Freshmen
It’s crazy that I’ve graduated college almost a year ago. So much has changed and time has pretty much flown by. It’s weird to think about how a year ago I was studying for exams and doing last minute group projects. The most remarkable thing is that I graduated at all. I remember being a freshman…
Technology
Sometimes I wish that I could live on an island somewhere in a cute little cottage, with zero technology, and simply a giant stack of books. There are times when I am just so sick of being “connected” all the time. I love my job, but there is a certain expectation that you’re available all the…
Wedges for the Summer
After meeting with Kathryn a few weeks ago and hearing some sort-of-friendly comments from a guy about how he’s never seen me wear heels, I’ve decided to up (literally) my shoe choices. I’ve been somewhat successful with incorporating some more height in my shoe wardrobe. Now, the problem is that I’ve redetermined the real reason why…

Spontaneity
Being the Type-A, INTJ girl that I am, I hardly ever make spontaneous decisions. Everything is quite calculated and planned. Knowing what is coming up is super important to me. I did something super spontaneous though on Friday morning. I was at work and just booked a flight home. As I was putting together my weekend to-do…
J. Crew Monograms (for summer!)
The J. Crew Monogram Shop always makes me swoon. Whenever I buy sweaters and shirts online from J. Crew. Most of my monogrammed clothing from J. Crew is made for cooler weather… I kind of want to stock up on some summer pieces. With monograms, of course. Perfect Fit V-neck Tee // Vintage Short-sleeve Pajama Set…
Margarita Recipes for Cinco de Mayo
The fact of the matter is that I truly don’t enjoy drinking… most of the time. I typically just don’t. But I’m not against it or anything. I don’t have a 100% never-drinking-ever rule. If I’m out with friends and I feel like it, then fine. (But if I’m out with friends and don’t feel…

Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
Dress is @tuckernuck & sweater is @kiltecollection
@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
