Extra Petite

Nick is back with his annual gift guide! Nick: “Whatever you do, don’t call it a gift guide. Guide implies loose ideas. Wishy washy suggestions. This is a road map. Straightforward directions from Point A to Point B-est Xmas Ever. No wrong turns. No detours. Why take the gift road less traveled, when I’ve been exploring down this path already for 365 days. If the metaphor’s starting to get lost, sorry, my brain is already 50% eggnog.

It’s not much, but is the first actual discount code I’ve ever seen from them.

A few weeks ago I decided to go out of my comfort zone and flew to Dallas for a “content creators” conference! I ended up learning so much from speakers and peers from a wide range of ages and backgrounds, and left feeling very thankful that I get to do what I love for a job.

Amazon pants xs Short “khaki thin,” Edited Pieces mini belt xxs, Demellier bag, AF top (similar) Hello friends – it’s been a while! We’re doing our bi-annual southern California trip to see Nick’s friends and my grandparents, and decided to stay a while in Carlsbad and check out a resort here.

Just got back from a week in the Riviera Maya, Mexico for the kids’ spring break – I was hoping it would start to feel like spring weather in Boston upon our return, but no such luck! While I stay bundled up in winter coats for a few weeks longer, I wanted to share some of the vacation looks I packed.

Who remembers these waterfall cardigans and gingham shirts? After blogging for well over a decade, it’s always interesting to dig in the archives and see how much styles and preferences change. The outfit on the left was one of my most-Pinned posts ever circa 2014-2015, and although I wouldn’t reach for the exact combo today, it still serves as a solid starting point for an updated version! See my video on updating this look (hit unmute for sound), and I’ve also listed my thoughts below.
