My grandmother, Elizabeth McGuinness, passed away on June 18th, 2020. The below essay, dedicated to her, was written a month or so before, when she was diagnosed with Covid-19 (which she, miraculously, survived). Until we meet again, Nani. We’ll love you forever. My grandmother tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. My Nani, who has been…
We’ve made a declaration that we want to spend more time going to Mom & Pop coffee shops versus the easy Starbucks. Granted, Starbucks is down the street and we all have the app on our phone – but during lunch hours, we’ve decided we’re going to make more of an effort getting to know…
Set sail for a friend’s birthday on a brunch cruise in Marina Del Rey – and let’s be real, my friends and I are the types who will use any outing as an excuse to get dressed up for the day. Outfit Deets: Skirt: Anthropologie, rented (and kept) via Nuuly Tank: Abercrombie & Fitch Jacket:…

This is it! A new, fresh decade for us to step into and for us to make the best of. I always love the beginnings of New Years. I know they’re a little cliche, with everyone making resolutions they won’t keep – but there’s something magical about the clean slate that a new year can…
For as long as I can remember, my family has talked about venturing to Europe at Christmas time, primarily to make the pilgrimage to the old village in Austria where Silent Night was first performed, by candlelight, on Christmas Eve. My Opa made the trip when he was a young man and said it was…
Snapped this in the elevator at Mama Shelter, one of my favorite favorite favorite rooftop bars in Los Angeles. I swear it makes me look a lot cooler than I really am. Outfit Deets: Bomber & Tee: Free People Jeans & Tote: Madewell
I was told to stop and a photo was snapped on a Friday on my way out of the office. It’s okay though, I liked this outfit! There’s something about an oversized jacket and a pop of color or print that really helps to elevate your look, without feeling like you’re trying too hard –…
