These brush pens are so fun!

Todays work from home ootd 🩷 I love a whimsical dress!

This Ted Baker dress is incredible - pockets and so much attention to detail. I’m 5’4 and usually a size 0-2. This is a 2 and it was slightly snug, so I’d recommend sizing up

Day 11 of the September #juststartlettering challenge 🤎

I love this walnut ink! It’s a drawing ink, but it’s perfect for calligraphy ✒️

This ba&sh dress is another great fall transition piece! It’s lightweight and flowy, the eyelet allows for a great breeze, and it’s lined 🎉

I took a size small — it is a bit oversized, but I love the movement! Cannot say enough positive things about this cutie LBD

#LTKSeasonal

Todays second ootd - perfect for working from home & a visit to the chiropractor in this fall transition weather. These leggings are quickly becoming a staple & this sweater has been for years!

Wearing a small in the leggings and a medium in the sweater.

Day eight of the #juststartletteringchallenge ☕️ I’ve linked my favorite gold sumi ink!

It dropped into fall temps today, and this J. Crew sweater felt perfect for teaching a Sip & Script class! I paired it with cargo jeans — the extra pockets are so helpful when teaching. ✒️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKPetite

Todays ootd was perfect for working from home, an at-home Pilates workout, and prep for tomorrow’s calligraphy class 🩷

My husband surprised me with a few pairs of these Peloton leggings, and I immediately loved them! Sizing feels consistent, they’re butter soft, they don’t cut off my ankle circulation… and they’re on sale!

Another yummy cocktail recipe!

This fun dirty martini recipe was an Instagram Ad sponsored by Kastra Elion vodka.

One of the things we were drawn to about our house is how intentional our builder was about fun touches. Our upstairs entertaining space has a fabulous wet bar, and we cannot wait to set up cocktails here for our housewarming party.

I hope you’ll follow along as we try out fun options for our party!

(This is an ad from my Instagram. I genuinely enjoy the product!)

Todays ootd - the cutest mock neck dress layered with a short sleeve cardigan. I needed something formal for a business meeting that would survive a walk to said meeting in 85 degrees. This look gave fall vibes without being overly warm.

I took an XS in the dress; it was a bit tight in the neck, but otherwise flattering. I took a S in the cardigan and it fit perfectly

Started a lot of books this month, but only finished two. Did you read anything good in August?

Little calligraphy mirror ootd 😜 This shoshanna dress can do it ALL! This photo is from a work event, and later in the week, I paired it with a wrap for my brother-in-law’s rehearsal dinner in Sonoma

#LTKWedding

Planned the outfit around the shoes because it’s football time in Tennessee!

This tank is Target circa 2019 and the linen shorts are from Old Navy. The shorts definitely feel and look much more expensive than they were, and they’re on a super sale right now!

Work OOTD 🩵 This dress is so easy - I’ve worn it to a work event and for a meeting. It’s perfect for the southern “fall” - when it’s hot, but you want to wear fall colors

I get questions about my little laser level almost daily! This is my hack for straight lines.

Today, I leveled up and added a second laser liner to the lineup! Such a game changer.

Throwback to our anniversary trip to Toronto! 🇨🇦 i love an easy travel day outfit, and this tank is my absolute favorite basic! (It’s on sale for Amazon prime days… I bought three more 😬)
