    Colorblock Coverup Maxi Dress

    You may have spotted this bold summer beauty on my Instagram recently, but I thought I’d re-share it here because I just can’t get over the cuteness (and comfort!). Bright colors and flowy fabrics are precisely the medicine we need in this sweltering city heat. I also love this dress for the beach or vacation travel because it’s so easy to throw on over a bathing suit and be ready to be seen off-the-sand, instantly.

    Minted

    I have lots of family and friends coming to NYC this weekend for my baby shower and am obsessed with the invitations the hostesses sent out from Minted. (This is the exact one… in pink with scalloped edges and a gingham envelope liner.) The personalization options are so fun and the quality is truly top notch. Not only do I appreciate this because the invitations are definitely going to be immortalized in a baby book (or maybe framed?) but also now I think I need to go back for matching thank you notes… and birth announcements… and any/all paper goods…

    Bee’s Wrap

    No one’s actually like… a fan of trash. We’re all constantly looking for ways to be kinder to our planet, and this is one of my recent favorites. Bee’s Wrap is reusable food wrap (like Saran Wrap you can wash and reuse), that’s a far more eco-friendly way to keep leftovers and meal prep items fresh in your fridge. With this set, you’ll get three different sized wraps for different uses, and please note the phenomenal volume of ratings!

    Manhattanhenge!

    New York’s most instagrammed natural phenomenon (I use the word “natural” loosely, this entirely has to do with buildings, FYI) is happening this week! If you’re not familiar, Manhattanhenge is a phenomenon occurring just before and after the summer solstice, in which the sunset aligns perfectly with NYC’s east-west street grid. Read this article on where to stake out your spot this Friday or Saturday for the perfect sunset snap and keep your fingers crossed for sunny skies.

    Airpod Alternatives

    I’m entirely convinced that I will lose any Airpods I own within 30 seconds of purchasing them and have therefore resisted the ubiquitous ear accessory, despite being shamed online and IRL for my continued use of earphones (brace yourself) with actual CORDS (the horror!). However, my desire to live a cordless life (especially when working out) has been ever-increasing, so as an intermediate precautionary step to see if (a) I like the Airpod lifestyle and (b) I can actually keep track of these tiny buggers, I purchased these bluetooth wireless earbuds on Amazon for less than a third of the…

    MakeSpace

    Right, so… babies need a lot of stuff. Additionally, the baby I’m currently working on has two parents who have a lot of stuff, too. Rich and I just signed up for MakeSpace which is the city-dweller’s survival system when life’s possessions threaten to collapse inward upon you. It’s genius, and MakeSpace takes care of everything—they provide you with packing materials (fo free), pick up your stuff (also free), inventory your items in an online catalog, store them (obviously), and if there’s ever something you need, you can just tap on it via their app and MakeSpace will deliver the…

    How To Make Frosé

    Far more than just a delicious, drinkable Instagram opportunity, frosé is the frosty beverage begging to be on everyone’s rooftop this summer. Except mine. *Continues to type through soft sobs.* This frosé recipe is easy, delicious and a foolproof crowd-pleaser.

    Summer Entertaining Season

    Outdoor entertaining season is in full swing, so if you need to brush up (and brush off those patio seating cushions), last year’s outdoor soiree entertaining guide is one of my favorites, and now is a perfect time for a re-read.  I cover all of the serving pieces you need, fuss-free decor, some fun menu ideas and tips for anticipating the elements.

    Advice For First-Time Managers

    One thing we sometimes take for granted at our first big promotion: managing people is a learned skill set. As much as we like to think we’re naturally amazing managers, there are so many components of managing others that we really need to dig into and learn in order to be the best managers we can be. This article via Career Contessa delves into managerial advice the author wishes she would have known before she was a manager for the first time—a great read.

    Janessa Leone Packable Hats

    You may have noticed that I’ve worn Janessa Leone hats almost exclusively over the last several years. Aside from just loving the styles this designer comes out with every season, the product quality is sublime and I personally really like that the hats come in multiple sizes so you can get the perfect fit. As if this brand couldn’t get better in my book, they’ve introduced several packable styles perfect for your summer jaunts. While I’ve become a pro at traveling with hats and either pack them into my suitcase carefully or traveling with a hat box, I always get…
