Shifting into Fall
There's something about this moment between seasons that I love. Even though I can't pull out my chunkiest knits and cozy layers just yet, it's an ideal time to wear autumn-inspired colors. This SENREVE Mini Maestra bag is one of my favorite pieces for fall—the rich chestnut ...read more
The List (And Why You Should Put Down Your Rosé for This)
I have lazy Sundays down to a science. After sleeping in and going for a short run, I make myself coffee and breakfast, and settle into the newspaper and chores for what we call "house days." That one day—with no plans, when the afternoon seems to stretch out forever—is something ...read more

The Real Reason I Don't Wear the Most Flattering Dress I Own
I've had this dress for over a year and it's easily one of my favorite items in my closet. The dusty mauve color is unexpected, the wrap is supremely flattering, and the little ruffles are sweet without being saccharine. It's basically perfect... except for one small, ...read more

Our Team's Go-To Lipstick Shades
I don't ask for a lot of my lipsticks—I'm not picky between gloss and matte options, can get away with a pretty wide range of hues, and am far less selective about which brands I experiment with than I am with other beauty products. The short reason is because lipstick is far ...read more
The One Skirt I Wore Till it Fell Apart
I used to have a black leather mini skirt from Zara that I wore constantly (as evidenced here, here, here, and here). I loved that it was made from real leather, but unfortunately the price (it was under $75) was reflected in the quality because it basically disintegrated off of ...read more
An Update On Anxiety
Anxiety is a funny thing. I've dealt with it for as long as I can remember and any time I think I've figured it out or 'grown out of it,' I'm reminded that won't ever fully be the case. And I need to come to terms with that. Earlier in the summer, I hadn't been experiencing much ...read more

The Leopard Skirt I Didn't Know I Needed (Until This Summer)
