~ Oh my goodness, it’s been a minute! How are you all? I’m alive and well out here in Columbus (*I promise!)! I’ve been all over the place the past few weeks…from Clearwater Beach for my friend Sarah’s Bachelorette…to Hilton Head, SC for Mother’s Day with my mom and Aunt Pat…to PA to visit my nieces for just one day…it’s been a wonderful whirlwind! I’m so grateful to be able to fly to those I love, since I can no longer get to everyone by car. I’m also craving some down time here in Columbus!
I haven’t done a “let’s catch up” post in so long and well…there’s nothing new and exciting to report on my end?! I’m still trying to make new friends, meet new people, and find my tribe here in Columbus. Everyone says it’s a little bit harder to do that as you get older, and I never really believed them until now! I think in CT I was so spoiled with so many of my close friends being from there originally and, of course, joining IHYC and finding such a wonderful sailing family there. In a lot of ways, being in the midwest has been a bit of a culture shock, and I still feel like I’m trying to catch my bearings and settle in! So in short…no new news!
On to the fun stuff….my favorite trend for spring…SMOCKING! While it might remind you of your favorite dress from when you were 5, it’s BACK and better than ever. I’m definitely here for it!
This floral smocked top is just the MOST adorable and is so feminine with the ruffles around the neckline! It comes in 2 beautiful floral patterns, too! Below, I’ve rounded up ALL of my favorite smocked pieces for spring (*there are some really amazing pieces in there!). Some of them are a part of the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale!
I can’t forget to point out my new go-to pendant necklace from Marleylilly…it’s monogrammed and has the most special rope detail on the border! I had been wanting a pendant necklace for such a long time and was having trouble finding one that was truly “me” until this one came along! It also makes a great graduation gift/ engagement gift!
This weekend, I’m heading to one of my favorite places…the Eastern Shore of MD (also where I went to college!). My best friend, Sarah, is marrying her person and I cannot WAIT to stand by her side as her bridesmaid!
Gratefully with love,
