Shop my style

Alas, another summer has come to an end and per usual I hate to see it go. It was a summer with familiar rhythms, but also with entirely new beats. I celebrated life being brought to the world with my family! I moved! I started a new job! I began to find a new routine with my partner, our Yorkipoo, and my new position. I picked flowers and celebrated anniversaries, bottled honey, learned more about my role and industry, traveled to places seen and unseen, and felt stylish.
This summer my wardrobe felt way more like an extension of myself than ever before.  Perhaps it was the forced closet inventory during packing and unpacking that sparked this reconnection. Combined with feeling good in my skin and transitioning to a new dress code, where I revisited and reconnected with pieces that I hadn't considered wearing to work before.
Let's talk about this dress for a moment. I had seen Amy (@stepsofstyle) wear it before and hoped that it might make her annual clothing sale. I was a little worried it might not fit because Amy is seven inches taller than me, but some things are just meant to be. When I tried this dress on it fit me perfectly and didn't even need to be hemmed?! Of course, it had to come home with me.
This summer was a blur. As the summer sunsets, I continue to be in awe of summer's transformative power. Summer is always a time for recreation, rest, and renewal, and for that, I'm deeply grateful.

Wearing: Lyon silk maxi slip dress in lime punch - Asceno (sold out, but similar below), shoes - old Jessica Simpson, earrings - House of Harlow 1960 (Marshalls find, but exact)


Many thanks to Rose at Paper Crane Photo who took these photos of me at the Studio Reverie. Winter is coming which would normally mean that outdoor photoshoots are on hold for me, but step into the comfort of shooting in a studio. Indoor studio sessions are perfect for capturing individual portraits, family photos, and holiday photos with your loved ones or if you're me—your handbags.

Sometimes when you're not looking something magical falls into your lap—a job, a relationship, except in my case it was a vintage tailor made 1960s silk skirt suit, blouse, and hat.

Greetings? I don't even know how to start this blog post. It's been so long. I know it really hasn't been, but it feels like it's been awhile since I've had actually the space to blog.

Hello, beautiful people. I know the blog has been out of sight, but it's been on my mind. I've been spending less time online and well, more time, just living, which is in fact a lot these days. I've been focused less on sharing what's going on in my life and more on understanding the crisis in Gaza and sharing community resources at work which is well spent, and also takes a lot of bandwidth. Still, I'm grateful I have an opportunity to contribute meaningfully.

Last year around this time, I read an article in the Wall Street Journal called, "The Bright Side of 2022" by Zachary Karabell. One line in particular stood out to me. "Much will continue to go tragically and spectacularly wrong, but that shouldn’t keep us recognizing and celebrating all that goes right." I think this year has been hallmarked by that line, and in that vein, I want to start this post differently than I normally do, with all that has gone right.

Ciao, 2023!
