Are you staying sane right now amidst the COVID-19 chaos? Depends on the hour, right? It is crazy how seemingly normal life was mere weeks ago and being in this current situation. When this is all said and done, I hope we can appreciate our everyday freedoms again. I know I won’t take my kids’ […]
At the turn of the new year, I saw an instagram post that was re-grammed by numerous people I follow. It was in defense of hobbies–you know, the things you do for fun with zero expectations (remember those?). “Hobby” isn’t even a word you hear much these days. It’s always referred to as your side […]
This feels like a big one. My thoughts, lessons learned, and perspective on turning the big 3-5: When I was in my 20s, I thought people in their 30s were SO old and mature. Funny how now I still feel young and like I’m not *that* far out of college (I am–2007 grad). Sometimes when […]
It’s weird, you know. Looking at these photos and seeing that I’m 20 weeks pregnant in them. One day I’m pregnant and the next day I’m not. It’s hard–really, really hard.

Another winter outfit; you’ll actually be seeing these for awhile on here because….it’s winter. I posted a picture of this outfit on Sunday night saying I was about to take action on the current fashion retail calendar (my threats are pretty empty but I’m hopeful). It’s so misaligned with the actual weather that by the […]
This week on “shop your closet” I’m featuring a thin, black, cashmere, crew neck sweater (it’s from Talbots on sale!). It’s a true workhorse of my wardrobe and slips into an outfit at least once a week. I’m a longtime cashmere fan and as soon as I could afford it, I started introducing it into […]
Growing up, I desperately wanted to be athletic. I started playing softball as a 1st grader and picked up soccer (God, I was awful at that) and basketball later on (I was marginally better at that). I hung out with a sporty crew; we all wore Umbros, jogging suits (you know–swishy pants), and either Sambas […]
