A Week in Outfits
Last week I was tired. Very tired, I don’t know why, but I felt like I couldn’t get enough sleep. This week I am going to really focus on getting to bed on time, eating proper meals, and reducing my screen time. Until the weekend that is, when I’m going to a wedding. Which means…

It Was My Birthday
Every year I journal on my birthday, I look back on what I journaled the year before and it’s always amazing to see how far I’ve come in a year. Day-to-day it always feels you are kind of in the same place, but looking year over year you get to see how much progress you…

The Friday Edit: Vol. 26
Weekend Reading// The most beautiful libraries in the world. I really want to make this sheet pan gnocchi recipe. The girlboss may have died and been buried in a cheugy graveyard, but its replacement isn’t any better. If you aren’t on SwiftTok, you may have missed the mind-melting drama that was Karlie Kloss in the…

Late Summer Wedding Guest Dresses
I think we normally associate wedding season with May (maybe even April) to July. However, this year, I have a wedding in August, September, and October, and I am finding figuring out how to dress for them challenging. August not so much, it is definitely still summer, but late September and early October are such…

What I’m Buying In August
This month I am refocusing on this post as a way for me to budget and plan my purchases, to be really intentional with my wardrobe and purchases. I have been starting to think (in my head, I do need to write it down/put it in an Excel sheet or something) about having a really…

A Week in Outfits
I did a much better job taking outfit pictures this week. I feel like I am starting to get back into the swing of normal life, but also like I am having a much harder time fully getting back into it. I’ve been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I’m…

The Friday Edit: Vol. 25
Well I did it, I made it through my first week back from vacation. And I don’t have another full week until the last week of August thanks to the holiday on Monday and taking the next Friday off to travel to my friend’s wedding and honestly thank goodness. Where are the four-day work week…

Financial Fitness Check-In: July 2023
Well, I just checked my student loan account and at my current rate of payment I will have them paid off in November, 2033. And that sent me into a spiral. I have another DECADE. Doing that right after logging all my vacation month spends was not the best idea. But we did it. Which,…

What I Read in July
Four books! Four whole books! Can you tell that I was on vacation? I enjoyed reading so much this month. I sat in parks and read, read on planes and trains, and I just had a great time. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. I loved this book, and despite everyone whose book…

A Week-ish in Outfits
I did a very bad job of documenting outfits this week. It was a very tiring week, and an emotional week. I had a much harder time leaving Ireland than I ever have before. I’m not sure what exactly to take away from that yet. But I have come to the conclusion that I have…
