A seasonal lifestyle blog

A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

Person wearing a large sunhat leaning over a table with a floral tablecloth, a bowl of greenery, two glasses, and a pitcher of water outdoors surrounded by trees.

A cocktail garnished with a cherry, lime wedge, and black pepper in a short glass, with a potted plant and limes in the background, and the word "Recipes" at the bottom.

A view of a grassy field and colorful trees seen through a window with black framing, with the word 'Creative' at the bottom.

A woman walking outdoors pushing a stroller with a young child inside, holding a drink and a beverage cup. The setting appears to be a park or peaceful neighborhood.

my must-haves for autumn

Just a few things on my radar... lately I am obsessed and a little bit intimidated by j.crew, madewell, anthropologie & bananarepublic. as a working (and saving!) girl, I can't be spending everything I make here...but I easily could... one thing I know I need is a watch, and the Kate Spade metro watch is looking like the one.

scenes from my weekend.

The clouds put me in the mood for jeans, lattes, bowls of soup, and hunkering down with a good book...

Long Beach Island in October

The screeching seagulls, hanging out at my favorite jetty and inspecting the rocks, the wind and mist against our beach front windows, and a great vista atop our spiral staircase...

Narrow street in Italy with old buildings, people walking, and traffic signs overhead.

A woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail, wearing white jeans and a beige scarf, holding a phone and a bag outdoors at sunset.

A woman wearing a hat and a light sweater walking through a tulip farm, with rows of white and pink tulips and a green landscape in the background.
