Candles are my favorite compliment to any home setting, but the endless options out there can make it hard to pinpoint exactly which scents will vibe with your space. I like to have a different candle for every room. Scent is such a powerful memory trigger and has the ability to transport you to anywhere […]

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ve always felt I’m a better person when I’m tan. It sounds silly, and of course it is, but it’s true for so many reasons. When my skin is tan, I have a really healthy glow that doesn’t require much in the way of makeup, and it also helps […]

My sleep habits have always lacked consistency. I blame the four years spent away at college largely for this, despite having always been somewhat of a night owl. The early mornings finalizing edits to a midterm paper became a familiar routine, having always done my best work under the pressure of a looming deadline. And […]

Prep: 10 min. Cook: 22 min. Total: 32 min. Before Matt and I moved into our own place, the extent of my cooking abilities hadn’t stretched far beyond boiling water for pasta on the stove top. We are almost a year in now, and while the insurmountable time spent at home has proved that my talents […]

I want fewer, better pieces; pieces that will elevate any look but not overshadow it. On any given day, you’ll find me wearing gold hoops in a variety of sizes. I save my larger […]

I am so excited to finally be sharing our full engagement session with you. We shot our photos with Rachel Leiner (a dear friend of mine who also takes many of the photos you see here on the blog) back in mid-September. We drove up to Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts to chase golden hour […]

One thing to note about me is that I am LITERALLY always warm. In the summers, my AC remains steady at a cool 64 degrees no matter the heat index. And for this reason, you’ll rarely see me in a sweater of any kind, mainly because the idea of wearing a turtleneck indoors when the […]

The change in weather from summer to fall, though entirely routine, never ceases to ignite a sense of newness within me. The mornings are cool but the summer sun refuses a graceful exit, the afternoons bringing an entirely-too-familiar heat wave to remind us its still very much alive and well. With cooler mornings and warmer […]

It’s no secret that the fall months are by far my favorite. As much as I love the laid back vibes of summer, nothing compares to that feeling of waking up to a crisp, cool morning with the breeze blowing through your window and the smell of the leaves turning. This time of year brings […]

Out of all the random things I post on my Instagram stories, my ice roller never fails to grab the attention of many of you. Anytime I post about it, I reopen the app to a handful of messages asking what it is, how I use it, etc. The one I use is called the […]
