OUTFIT {CLUB MONACO SWEATER}



Say hello to one of my favorite Christmas presents... This adorable pom pom hat from Club Monaco. Thanks Reilly! I've been wearing it pretty much nonstop since I opened it on Christmas morning — I know the pom pom is a little big but it makes me so very happy! Oh and the leather detail on this sweater? Club Monaco does it again.

I'm also obsessed with these Yosi Samra flats. They're navy and black (a color combo you know I love) with the sweetest little bow — and they fold up when you're not wearing them, making them the perfect ballet flat for traveling. I'm actually in Dallas for New Year's and they were the first thing I tossed in my suitcase! 

P.S. I've received a few emails about my favorite jeans... They do run true to size but, if you're between sizes, I recommend ordering one size down as they do stretch a bit over time. I hope that helps! Happy New Year everybody!!!

GOODBYE 2013, HELLOOO 2014!


I think I say this every December but I can't help myself... What. A. Year. 

I moved to New York with my puppy, made amazing new friends, decorated my first apartment, grew my business, partnered with some really awesome bloggers and brands, traveled all over the country (Salt Lake City, Dallas, New OrleansDenver, and Boston!), spent lots of summer weekends in Central Park and on Nantucket, and finished the year on such a high note. I also wound up crossing 79 things off my 101 in 1001 list!

Truthfully though, this year was also a bit of a bumpy road for me. I had my heart broken, experienced every possible growing pain of running a small business, struggled with hurtful comments on my blog, and was even dumped by a boy I really liked — in a text message (#notcool). I try to keep things happy and upbeat around here but it definitely hasn't been all rainbows and pretty shoes behind the scenes.

I'm really, really looking forward to a fresh start. I have a lot of exciting projects on the horizon, awesome girlfriends by my side, a new boy in my life, and the most supportive family in the entire world... So bring it on, 2014. I'm ready for you!



WEEKEND WISHLIST


I hope you've all enjoyed a little time off this past week! We've had so much good food, watched way too many movies, and more than once forgotten what day it is... Exactly the kind of break I needed. Here's a little video we made in case you missed it!

If you've got a few gift cards from the holidays (or you're buying yourself what you really wanted for Christmas...), I've rounded up a few wishlist items in the slideshow below. Some are new arrivals for spring (say hello to my new favorite skirt!) and others are on mega sale (just snagged these riding boots for almost 50% off). Shop to it and have a great weekend! xx
