Afternoon at Ralph's

This week has been weird because my visiting best friend went back home to MN. We did have an amazing time, and I think she loved her first little tour of NYC. While we were in the city, I said we HAD to stop at Ralph's Coffee for a pick me up. I had not been to the location on Madison ave yet, but heard that it was the CUTEST, preppy coffee place ever. It did not disappoint, and the cappuccino we had was perfect.

You can also buy the Ralphs's coffee cups and coffee online, so if you can't make it up to the Madison Ave location, you can have it shipped to your door 😊








I obviously had to wear my Gal Meets Glam Celeste dress in navy, with a strand of pearls. This dress was seriously the best dress to throw on, and explore the city when it was in the "in-between" transition temperatures from winter to spring. The silhouette is so simple and classic, and you can really style the dress how ever you want to!

I have had some questions about Gal Meets Glam sizing. On their website, they have a size chart to follow, and I think that it is pretty true, and that the sizing is pretty TTS. It can even run a tad big, and you can size down with some pieces. I would say that the dresses that are just cotton, do not have any stretch what so ever, so size up 1-2 sizes. I am normally a 4-6 in dresses and skirts, and these are the sizes that I wear in the brand. I more often for the 4 because some styles do seem to run a little bigger, but I have 6's in dresses with no stretch! Hope this helps!


As always,

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
