A little post of gratitude today… Three things I A little post of gratitude today… Three things I’m thankful for this year ❤️🙏🏼 • Making my little family with Dave and Marley 🐶 (not a pregnancy announcement lol) We’re finally feeling so settled in our home (it takes at least a full year IMO!) and it feels so, so nice. 🏡 Savoring these ‘dink’ days without too much on our plates, as I know they won’t last forever. • Friends, family, friends that feel like family, family that feels like friends. • YOU! I feel like so many of you have been following along since I lived in New York, and some even before I moved there! It’s so wild to me that so many of you have been along for the ride for almost a decade or more. Old friends and new, I’m so happy to have you here 🤎 I feel so, so lucky to get to talk about clothes, skincare, shoes, decor, and share all of my favorite things every day. Life is short and to be able to enjoy the work days is such a gift. Thank you, truly!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and wishing all o Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and wishing all of you the most joyful holiday season from my little fam 🫶🏼

DONE 🗳️✔️🇺🇸 Crossed voting off my t DONE 🗳️✔️🇺🇸 Crossed voting off my to-do list a little bit early this year! On Election Day (THIS TUESDAY — 11/5), you MUST vote at your assigned poling place. This should be pretty close to your home address where you’re registered to vote! If you want to vote early, you can vote at ANY of the early voting sites. (Swipe for a picture of the hours and locations ➡️) There are weekend slots on Saturday and Sunday if you can’t make it on a work/school day! A few tips from a former (and current!) Election Judge… 1. If you have the option to avoid the before work and after work rushes on Election Day, your wait time will be way shorter! ⏳ In March, my polling place was the busiest from 4:30-7pm, but some voters had the place to themselves during the off/peak times during the day. 2. The polls close at 7pm, but anyone who is IN LINE by 7pm is guaranteed the right to vote. ⏰ 3. Double-check your polling location! These things can change from time to time. For the primary election, we had to send away so many people who were in the wrong spot. (But FYI — we are able to look up your correct location and send you the address! 🗺️) 4. Be friendly to your poll workers! We’re essentially volunteers. 💙 Interested in learning more about getting involved with Chicago elections? Comment JUDGE and I can send you my blog post with my experience! 👩‍💻 #iamavoter #votevotevote #ivoted🇺🇸

Go Cubs Go 🐻🧢⚾️💙🏳️ Not to turn Go Cubs Go 🐻🧢⚾️💙🏳️ Not to turn the Crosstown Classic into a life lesson 🤪, but you know that’s how I roll… #alwaysoverthinking Much like the Cubs games over the last month (IYKYK), May was a bit of a personal rollercoaster for me, too. (I shared more on Substack yesterday!*) Just like the Cubbies coming back to win both games the past two nights, I’m hoping June is a fresh new, summery start over here. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Manifesting lots of 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺, instead of June Gloom.🌹🌸🌺🌷 *𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙎𝙐𝘽𝙎𝙏𝘼𝘾𝙆 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙖 𝘿𝙈 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩! #gocubsgo #flythew #junebloom #junegloom
