while we all may not have anywhere very important to go, that doesn’t mean we can’t make our grocery store runs and socially distanced get-togethers feel special. this summer i have constantly been drawn to suits: short suits in particular. maybe it’s just the “pretty woman” vibes that a short suit brings but i can’t help but feel chic af in them! whether it’s a monochromatic look or a printed set, short suits are easy to mix-and-match and rock any day of the week!
Read Morei am so incredibly proud my friend jenn lake and the launch of her capsule collection with sail to sable! the six dresses jenn created perfectly embody her style and eye for color and prints with sizes ranging from xxs-3x! naturally this blue striped “charlotte” dress had my name written all over it and i literally didn’t wear anything else all weekend! and on top of it all, a portion of the proceeds are going to feeding america!!
congrats again to jenn and i’m so excited to see what you do next!
Read Moreas i’m sure many of you saw in my instastories (but saved in a highlight if you missed them!), a few weeks ago i had the incredible opportunity to attend and photograph a trip to the maldives thanks to zapwater and coco collection resorts. i was joined by four influencers - krystal, lisa, megan, and jenna - in addition to the amazing and fabulous zapwater evp jenn lake for this trip to paradise the other side of the world. so let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?
Read Morei can’t believe summer is technically over and that fall is right around the corner…i mean where has the time gone!? i have had some truly amazing experiences throughout this summer and my website has definitely taken a back seat as a result. posts have definitely been sporadic and delayed but i’m definitely trying to get better at planning these out!

two weekends ago, elle and i headed down to georgia and made our way to the barnsley resort for the annual blog societies conference, adorably known as tbscon. while i attended this conference back in 2016 with dana, this year’s conference was extra special because instead of being an attendee i was asked to be a speaker for one of the workshops. if you’re not familiar with the blog societies, it is a community for influencers that allows us to share resources, connections, and tools necessary to grow our blogs. it was founded by cathy of poor little it girl and jessica of my style vita and they host a conference every year that brings together girls (and guys!) and discuss all things blogging.

every summer the hoards of bloggers emerge for the annual money-maker event of the season. and to be honest the content never fails to be completely overloaded. but why am i so against a sale? because it’s the day before the public access, i’m going going to share why.

it has always been a dream of mine to visit the mid-century capital of the world: palm springs. so when amanda and i were doing our insane day of shooting, we knew palm springs needed to be a stop. while i desperately wanted to stay the night, i knew this trip wasn’t going to be my chance. so we opted for lunch at the ace hotel and trespassing onto the saguaro property for photos. this town is rainbow heaven and i did not want to leave!

after a week off, i’m back with a new post here on the blog and now that i’ve set a new intention for my posts, i’m not only just going to be talking about what i’m wearing or what i ate for brunch at le sirenuse in miami (because i had one of everything let’s be honest), but rather a topic i want to share. while visiting my friend fendi in miami last month, i knew we needed to stop at the sister restaurant of my favorite hotel in positano. i knew i wanted a plethora of photos by their iconic green bar just inside from their patio but i needed to take them without my security blanket: sunglasses.

a while back, andrea, amanda, and i decided that we needed to escape the new york city cold and head down to warmer weather for a much needed girls trip! we were so honored to be partnering with the wyndham grand clearwater to make our winter retreat possible and to say we were blown away would be an understatement!
Read Morei know, i know…it’s no longer hydrangea season…but hey! better late than never! when i got back from my trip to rome, i found myself essentially drowning in unpublished content, which i’m aware is not necessarily the worst problem to have but i just couldn’t keep up with it all! so instead of powering through and editing all of the photos, i just let them sit there and procrastinated. i procrastinated so much that i am now posting an outfit from july…and would you believe me if i told you my last post was taken back in may??? oopsies.

tomorrow is the day we have all been waiting for…the first day of fall! i cannot tell you how excited i am to finally break out my sweaters and jackets! however, mother nature still wants to pretend like it’s summer for the next few weeks. so i guess the cashmere will have to wait. i don’t entirely mind though because this gives me the chance to squeeze in a few more summer dresses before the leaves start to change!

with the end of summer nearing, i’m trying to squeeze in my last few floral dresses. so when i went home to detroit a few weeks ago, i carved out just enough time to photograph this kate spade dress (first seen on my instagram here) from my favorite view of detroit…in canada! so i grabbed my passport and headed across the river to windsor, ontario to get these photos at sunset.
while most passing people in new york are used to the typical blog shoot, the residents of windsor were not quite sure what to make of it so to say i got a lot of looks would be an understatement haha! but it was all worth it because these are some of my favorite photos i’ve taken while back home!
