You throw like a girl. You run like a girl. You hit like a girl. You cry like a girl.If you ever spent any time on a grade school playground, odds are someone has said one of these statements to you at some point. Granted, it’s usually uttered in jest as sort of a “hey, bro!” insult, but telling someone you do something like a girl has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not a fan of the insinuation that doing something like a girl means you are less than: less than capable, less than strong…
NOTORIOUS LBD
It’s true you can never really go wrong with a little black dress (LBD). And stocking your closet with a few go-to options is one of the smartest ways to do your wardrobe right. Whether dressed up or dressed down, for work or for play, a good LBD is almost always appropriate. And easy. And sometimes you just need easy! But as we all know very well, the moment you realize you’re in need of a really good go-to dress is precisely the moment you won’t be able to find one. (Why oh why does…
I THINK I K(AFT)AN, I THINK I K(AFT)AN
There’s a lot we can learn from The Little Engine That Could. The saying goes, “I think I can. I think I can,” doesn’t it? He thought he could. So he did. And that my friends, is called manifesting abundance.I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about an abundant mindset; about the value of positivity and about what we put out into the universe through our own thoughts. In life, it’s up to us to either see the world as abundant or limited; as glass half full or glass half empty. And I have a…
WELL (JUMP) SUITED
Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…
SPRING TEES
If you follow me on Instagram, than I’d like to apologize for becoming one of those really annoying people that can’t stop taking pictures of every single blooming tree, flower bed, and plant I pass by. Call me #BASIC, but Boston is one hell of a good looking city, especially in the Springtime, especially when this winter kicked my ass the way it did, and especially when I spent the last two weeks in bed with a sinus infection. At this point, I pretty much just want to call a timeout on life and roll around on the…
ON THE SPOT: SHOP YOUR CLOSET
Despite the fact that it’s been unseasonably warm the past few weeks (not joking- the temperature as I’m writing this is 83 degrees. What up, October!), I’m elbow deep in the process of transitioning my wardrobe for fall. What is it about a new season that makes us all yearn for a fresh start? And while I am all for picking up new pieces as the weather changes, truth be told, I’m a bigger believer in “shopping your closet,” i.e. taking a good, hard look at what you already own from last season and finding…
