One of my favorite memories from when Josh and I were dating in college were our 4th of July picnics. We’d pack up a big picnic basket full of Wegman’s red, white, and blue bread, good cheese, a few jams, and some cheap booze and just make a day of being out in the sunshine. We’d play lawn games,… [Read More]

Friday Favorites I have heard fantastic things about this eye cream. I’m just having trouble biting the bullet because of the price! Bad news for people like me who have squirrel syndrome. I want everything at LOFT right now, but most especially this top and this skirt. Truth. What it means to have girlfriends you’re… [Read More]
Focus on Floral: Splurge vs. Save
Floral is having a moment right now. Which is lucky for me because I absolutely love it! One of my favorite floral looks is floral over floral. It sounds like it would be overkill, but when it’s done right it’s totally not. Take a look at these two dresses to see what I mean. I… [Read More]
Seeing Hamilton in San Francisco
When I was in San Francisco last month, I made a dream come true. I got to see Hamilton: An American Musical, live on stage. (Sidenote, what do they call seeing broadway shows in San Francisco? It’s not seeing a show on Broadway. Is it just seeing a show in San Francisco?) Anyways, in addition to… [Read More]
Summer Sale at Century 21
I feel like waiting for winter to end and spring to get here took forever, but then I blinked and it was summertime. I’m not complaining though. Bring on the sunshine, pool time, and all the BBQs! One of my favorite things about summer is the fashion. Summer is the time for bright colors, short hemlines, and… [Read More]

Friday Favorites I finally learned how to zoom in while filming an Instagram story thanks to this helpful tutorial! Reading this article made me glad I’ve been putting so much effort into upping my Insta stories game. Food for thought. Nordstrom is killing it with their summer dresses. This dress and this dress are beyond gorgeous. I need a tray… [Read More]
A Weekend in San Francisco
For my trip to Napa, I flew in and out of San Francisco. They’re just an hour away from each other and it was really fun to have a trip that was part vineyards in the country part city by the bay. When my Napa press trip ended on Friday, I spent the weekend in San… [Read More]
Exploring Downtown Napa
Napa has been on my bucket list of places to visit since long before I had a taste for wine. Growing up, it sounded so romantic, so beautiful, and just like a place where amazing things happened (And this is before you even factor in the wine!). When I was invited by DoNapa to spend… [Read More]
Diamonds with a Conscience: The Kalahari Dream
I love a good sparkle. Who doesn’t? Especially when it looks like this. My engagement ring was the first really nice piece of jewelry I ever owned. I cherish it and can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to wear it on my finger for the last five years. To me, it symbolizes the love I… [Read More]
Friday Favorites
Wow guys, it has been a crazy few weeks. Between my sister’s wedding, Disney, Napa, and San Francisco I am exhausted. But the fun’s not over yet because this weekend I’m road tripping to Iowa for Hannah’s baby shower. I have a lot to recap you guys on, but for now I’m excited to get… [Read More]
Hiking in Antigua
Antigua was the fourth port of our 10 day Royal Caribbean cruise. (Catch up on the first island we visited, the second island we visited, and the third island we visited.) I was really excited about our day in Antigua because we were doing an eco tour that was a mashup of activities. Essentially we’d start they… [Read More]
