25 Things + my birthday outfit!

I used to think about how far away my golden birthday was. I thought 25 on 25 would never get here, but wow that came up FAST!! I am spending my birthday on Long Island, exploring the Hamptons, and it is amazing. I love love the vibe of the Hamptons, and all the cute little towns have to offer. On my actual birthday, we went to Wolffer Estate Vineyards because they have my favorite rose! I take rose all day very seriously, haha.

25 is such a crazy age! Am I in my mid-20s or late-20s?? Am I closer to 30??? I feel like this is the first age where I have had to process a lot about life, haha. But to celebrate 25 years, I have put together a list of 25 things I want to do or accomplish before 26 comes along. (also A LOT of birthday outfit pictures and birthday pictures!! outfit details will be link at the bottom!)

1. Finish my master's degree!

2. See Hamilton, 😋.

3. Land my first partnership for the blog.

4. Take and kill the MCAT again.

5. GO TO NANTUCKET! This is the year, I am making it happen.

6. Put forth my best self in the medical school applications.

7. Hopefully find a job after finishing my master's.

8. Decide where I want to live after school (this has been a hard battle in my head..)

9. Bake a near perfect batch of macarons.

10. Spruce up my room decor.

11. Travel to Europe, and I think this one is in the works!

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...

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck | Skirt | Tights | Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...
