The other day, I posted a picture of my pink nail polish. I was on the subway riding back from a super long day at work and I just looked down and was happy! Light pink is definitely not the first color that I would turn to, but I’m kind of loving it lately.
I’m super fair, so often when I wear light pink, I look super washed out! But I’ve got a little bit of a tan (thank you Florida swimming pools!) so I feel like the color works! Oh, and I always feel rawther like Eloise when I wear light pink.
The nail color that I’m wearing is Martha from Julep. It had been sitting in my desk drawer for a while and I finally decided to put it on… Love. I’ve been going for more neutral nail colors (super pale pink, sand, cream), so I love that the pink is light, but still has some nice color.
Mint all the way! I've also been hooked on butter London's Pillar Box Red. Bright red might be a little weird for a summer color (except around the Fourth of July), but I love the pop it gives to a white dress.
I always wear my super light pink nail polish as much as i can in the summer, when I'm tanned. I opt for more saturated shades in the colder weather. But in the summer, I get enough of a tan that I can pretty much rock any shade of my favorite color 🙂 Love this post! xo, Charlee Anne @ The Preppy Graduate
our need a decoration for perusing and watching that poo. ‘Steaming heap of wink’ lol! Your interpretation of it was clever, shrewd and utterly splendid and roller shades for window. So clever I snickered ou boisterous. Much obliged to you.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
I love light pink nails..but on other people! I have the same issue with my pale skin! Glad that someone can relate! Your nails look fabulous!!

I love pairing up light pink and gold together. It's feminine and elegant!
Those Kate Spade sunglasses are also gorgeous!
