I’m ready for some classic summer family time and pretending for a few minutes that it doesn’t feel like the world is ending. My first baby turns FIVE on Saturday, and I cannot believe it. All he asked for is a giant batman cake, a Maui costume and wig, and to the see fireworks. Since all of the local fireworks are cancelled, we might be entering new pyrotechnic territories this weekend. If I can still use my opposable thumbs, I…

Before I left the house this morning, my husband said, “are you coming from the village?” I immediately thought he was making a reference to Pride, the birthplace of the Stonewall Protest, since we lived there for nearly a decade together. I was dressed as a walking rainbow. Turns out, he was actually poking fun at my voluminous sleeves, but I took it as a compliment. Here is the dress in question:…
I know there is a bit of controversy around wearing masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19, but I am 100% on board with doing whatever I can personally to aid in flattening the curve as much as possible. Where I live, we are not permitted to enter most public spaces (the few that have reopened) without wearing one. I will admit that most masks I have tried are uncomfortable, I cannot even begin to fathom what it is…
It’s officially peak mutiny in my house, and I’m going to have the scars to prove it. After taking a metal Matchbox Wonder Woman car (the irony) to my cartilage courtesy of my toddler, I’m stitched up and fine but permanently cosmetically scathed. A stylish friend suggested I start searching for an ear cuff, and now I feel like I need one even if I come out on the other side of this without a keloid. Here are the 10…
While this Memorial Day Weekend may look a little less social than years past, we can still treat ourselves while social distancing. BBQ’s, rose, with a side of online shopping are the much needed antidote. I’ll be updating this list as any breaking shopping news occurs. I got you. Here are the best Memorial Day sales hands down:…
While I won’t be going all out on my summer wardrobe shopping, I am looking forward to adding a few laid back updates and replacing some staples. Shopbop is now giving us 15% off orders of $300 or 25% of $600 or more off everything labeled Key Style with code JUST4U so we can do just that and save a little green. This sale includes sale items like this gorgeous Misa dress I currently have in my cart, and rarely…
One of my best online orders of the entire season last summer was a few swimsuits from Modcloth. I was just a couple weeks post partum when it dawned on me that my suits had seen better days, and I dreaded trying on swimwear after having my third baby. I bought several thinking I would like one or two and return the rest. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved them all. They are well made, flattering,…
There is no time like the present to get a jump on spring cleaning. The time spent after-houring and happy-houring in the evening last year is now ripe for closet purging, donating, and reorganizing. I was able to do a big clean-out before our late February move, and I am almost done. This goes back to one of my cardinal rules of closet editing: set a deadline. I am giving myself till the end of this month to finish, and…
It’s Friday even though it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s about to because these Friday finds are going to make a weekend happen all over your screen. Does that even make sense? Does anything anymore? What does make sense right now: making the most of your work from anywhere at home situation, ordering the best Mother’s Day Gift if you haven’t already, and maybe a little something for yourself for when you eventually do crawl out of this giant…
Now that things are warming up outside we will soon be wearing sandals again (most likely paired with a sloppy DIY pedicure unless you ordered these). We also may have to change out of sweatpants, but luckily for us all, the sweatpants of shoes are back in a big way. If you were alive in the late 90’s you probably had a pair of these ubiquitous elastic slides or some iteration of (I had the giant platform version). I remember…
