I wanted to speak candidly today about something that has been on my mind for a few months. As a blogger, it’s my job to constantly be wearing the newest things and pushing products that I love – I am always on the hunt for things to make MY life cuter, better, easier and then I love sharing that with all of you. When I started…
We have yearly Thanksgiving traditions, as I am sure most of you do, and they usually involve traveling to Miami to celebrate the holiday. For the past few years my parents have gone to Matt’s parents home, and we’ve all been together with Hudson to eat some turkey, share what we’re thankful for and celebrate all of the things that make us happy in life.…
BEFORE: Our dining room was the last room to see any love in our home. We knew we’d eventually knock down the wall dividing it from the laundry room (happening in 2019) so I didn’t show the space much attention. I didn’t even have a proper set of four chairs, so I used this random bench in place! Once I found out I was…
Can you believe my little fox is two? Neither can I. Well, I can, because I can’t really remember a life before him, but it also feels like i blinked and the past few years have flown by. I can remember feeling really insecure and new in this role, and of course I have days and moments where I still feel like I don’t know…
I have a video on my Youtube channel of how I create this messy updo from a year or two ago, but I’ve been recently getting a lot more requests on how I create the hairstyle, so I figured I’d make an updated post on it! It’s fairly easy, so here goes: You will need: A brush A hair tie Bobby pins Dry shampoo (optional)…
I am so so excited to finally share the full reveal of our side-yard/ patio space! A month or so ago I shared details on how I painted this pattern on the concrete, but I was waiting on a few pieces to share the full and complete reveal! Then once it was all done, I felt like every day was rainy, or not a nice…
It’s that time of the year when we all want to order our holiday cards, and share our holiday photos online, so I thought it would be helpful to pop-in and share a little bit about how we get the shot in our living room, and the few small details that make or break the photo! I hope this is helpful! 1 – LIGHTING IS EVERYTHING:…
I am getting prepped to fully re-do this room, since most of the furniture was thrown together from our last house (and the bench is there because we only had 3 chairs haha), but the first step I wanted to take was to add in an accent wall. This room always felt extremely stark white to me, and it lacked a pop of color. I’ve…
Every Fall, there’s a list of things that I absolutely love to do at home, just to make it feel a bit more like Fall, and to remind myself to slow down a bit every year. I’ve found that in our current house, it’s a lot easier for me to steer away from doing certain things because of this fear of THE MESS, especially since…
Blogging is no joke, guys. But I think one of the toughest parts of being a blogger is that most people don’t realize that it’s more serious than it seems, and they also don’t realize the many many pressures behind it all, so I wanted to open up to you here a bit about the pressures I myself personally feel from working in this biz,…
What you’ll need: Bobby pins Hair tie Optional Dry Shampoo 1 – First I brush out my hair, and if it feels extremely soft I will add in some dry shampoo or tease it a bit for extra volume! 2 – Grab all of your hair, as if you’re putting it up into a high ponytail on top of your head! 3 – Wrap the…
One of the most frequent questions I see in my DM’s weekly is “How do you edit your photos??” About a year ago I created a Youtube video explaining my editing process, but I’ve since adjust it a bit, and wanted to put my favorite apps into writing, in a space you could click through to them in an easier way! I edit all of…
I wasn’t able to decorate for Fall last year and it was a huge bummer, because right around this time last year we were prepping to move into our current home. I was more focused on packing, prepping this house by painting and continuing to run this blog, so fall decor was about the last thing on my list! The year before, I had…
As most of you know, my office or technically my “cloffice” is set right outside of my bedroom. It has a separate entrance, and I recently hired my first true assistant to come work on this very blog with me out of my home-office! It can get super hectic in here, between shoots, steaming clothes, editing photos, and Claude running all around, so here’s…
The biggest piece of advice everyone and their mom shared with me when I was pregnant was BE OKAY WITH ASKING FOR HELP. When I was a visual merchandise manager at J.Crew, I learned lesson after lesson on delegation, and how the best bosses know what to focus on, and what to pass off. But my anxieties throughout year one as a mom mixed with…
It seems you all love my dad – and I do too! He’s a goofball, he’s fashionable and he’s one of the most important people in my life, so I am excited you’ve been loving seeing him on my stories in his outfits. His father (my grandpa David who Hudson David was named after) was a tailor, and owned a clothing store in midtown in…
The million dollar question that I constantly receive as a blogger is “How do you book work???” Even my parents friends are so curious as to what a campaign may look like from beginning to end, how the work finds me, and how far out I shoot work VS when it is posted, so I wanted to take a second to break it down for…
Okaaay, so Fall is still probably at least a month away weather-wise, but as Fall clothing hits the stores, I am of course SO SO excited to dress Hudson in layers, and coats! Last year he was a little under a year old, not walking or talking, and Fall was just such a different experience than it will be for him this year. I cannot…
This is phase 1 in a two-part before + after series I’ve been working on all summer long! We have this adorable little side-yard, that sat empty all winter long, and I knew I wanted to paint the cement and make it a little oasis where we could grill, play outside, and spend time together as a family. The first phase was to paint the…
Here it is – a space I have yet to share here, our teeny master bathroom! We’re actually in the process of planning to renovate this room (coming soon!) but I wanted to share it, and also share my new favorite body wash that I’ve been putting to good use in our shower! I am a sucker for a good body wash, and I’m all…
