congrats to my sister.

My littlest and most favorite sister graduates this weekend. OMG. We're celebrating all week, East Coast style — polo shirts not included. But, besides feeling old, I couldn't be happier and more excited for the next stage of this little fashionistas life. 

Ps: Here are the 5 congratulations (I believe) one should actually be given on graduation day...

1. Congratulations, you can now upgrade to expensive liquor. 

2. Congratulations, you've officially proved you have the necessary BS skills to get through life.

3. Congratulations, a bigger bed awaits you! 

4. Congratulations, you can now spend that textbook money on clothes. 

5. Congratulations, you've proved you truly rock!

So proud of you little sis, exciting things await :)

i'm all about...

Keeping it simple and sticking to the little things, here's what I'm currently all about...

One of my favorite things about the Spring/Summer are the long nights. Not only am I more productive (cough cough I actually want to go for a run at 7pm) but happy hours and post-work shenanigans are elevated. 

I've always been about gold accents, but over that last few weeks I've gone overboard. . . 

Need I say more? Maybe it's an SF thing, but brunch is quickly becoming a tradition. It has changed my weekends, for the tastier.

OMG OMG OMG peonies. Lets freak out.  

To avoid bordem (and writer's block), I try to make it a point to explore new places and mix up my "routine." Lately it's been in the form of weekend trips and new restaurants. I started doing this when I was a swimmer and it has made all the difference during my week. 

just add...

To dress up that basic v-neck, all you gotta do is add...

Then simply remove for the gym!

 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 

the coolest lady i know.

To the mamas and nanas who make the world go round, 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

Mom, I can't thank you enough for your sacrifice, dedication, and (most importantly) beauty tips.

You're the coolest.
