Earlier this year, I visited New York City to film a video with Universal Standard to introduce their petites collection. While in New York, I stopped by Christian Siriano’s boutique The Curated NYC which opened that same week.

This was one of those weeks that didn’t stand out for anything unusually awful, but it was an uphill climb. It’s funny, many friends I spoke to felt the same about this week and all for different reasons. Maybe it’s the rain (those down south I’m wishing you the best through this hurricane!), back to…

This week Emerson was back to school as a fourth grader. She loves her teachers and so far I am loving what they’re teaching her and her classmates. I’m also loving being back into more of a routine. Wake, do a bit of social, have my breakfast, hit the gym, come home long enough to…

In this series, I’ve asked amazing women I know to share their beauty routines. These are women from across the country, different…
My new normal is far more relaxed than a year ago when I worked in an office. I go to the gym, take my daughter to school, run a few errands, and then hunker down at my computer for 6-9 hours. If I do go out, it’s usually a fashion or blogger event and the…
