Fall is here and I couldn’t be more excited to be savoring the season in New York City. It’s pretty magical observing the city transform its colors and feel during the autumn months. On the topic of style: trends come and go, but the classics are forever. In the past year, I’ve focused on selecting fewer but better items for my closet that I know I’ll love (and actually wear) time and time again. The Shopbop Style Event is a perfect time to treat yourself to something fresh this season. Nearly everything is on sale, now through October 14. Just use the code STYLE to save 15% off orders of $20 ..read more

Life Lately: May 2021
Bright And Beautiful

3y ago
It’s been six months since moving to New York City and it feels like we’ve started hitting our groove. We’re settled in to our neighborhood and apartment, both of which we love. Daily life feels both demanding and rewarding, raising a 1.5 year old boy in NYC and my husband beginning a new career opportunity here. We’re tired at the end of the day, but feel grateful and excited for this stage of life. My days are filled with trips to Central Park, playground play dates, outdoor classes, and all the typical activities and tribulations of toddlerhood. Will is now 17 months old and developing int ..read more

Springtime in NYC
Bright And Beautiful

Spring is in the air in New York City! We walked to The Met museum on Saturday and it was so encouraging to feel the city is alive again. People out and about enjoying the fresh air. Blossoms making their appearance along Fifth Avenue and Central Park. I came away feeling energized and happy for spring. Also to note: This textured weave jacket is a great find that’s less than $50. Paired with white jeans and a fresh pair of sneakers, it’s an easy casual look I’ll be sporting on weekends.

Are We Ready to Get Dressed Again?
Bright And Beautiful
by Laura
3y ago
The year 2020 won’t be remembered as a fashion-forward year. The pandemic and “stay at home” orders had most of us placing comfort over style. And personally speaking: I had just had a baby and was focused on life as a new mom. Occasions to dress, along with my motivation to do so, felt non-existent. And rightfully so. Perhaps it’s the new year, or spring season, or now living in New York City where observing street style is a spectator sport: I find myself putting in more of an effort. Getting dressed feels fun again. Not to say I’m doing anything groundbreaking, but I’ve felt so much better ..read more

3 Months in NYC: Answering Your Questions
Bright And Beautiful
by Laura
3y ago
It’s been three months since moving to New York City and I’ve received some common questions about life lately. Here it goes…! Do you have a car? Nope. We walk everywhere! When we moved from Chicago to New York, we hired movers to haul our furniture and large pieces to our apartment, and the rest to a storage unit nearby. The 3 of us (my husband, Will and I) then drove our car — packed to the absolute brim, I might add — from Chicago to New York. When our parents visited for Will’s first birthday a few weeks after we initially moved in, my in-laws kindly drove our car back to the Midwest for ..read more

William’s First Birthday
Bright And Beautiful

3y ago
It’s official… William is one year old! Looking back, I remember hearing others say how quickly a year will go by. (And they were right.) It’s hard to believe we welcomed our firstborn baby one year ago — and all the moments and milestones we’ve met along the way. It’s been quite a year. At one year old, Will’s grown from a newborn baby in Chicago to a little boy in New York City. We’ve weathered a pandemic as a family and society, making these types of celebrations different than expected — nonetheless, they are special and to be treasured, at the simplest level. I’m so thankful my parents a ..read more
