Like any other NYC lover, I am most definitely missing my favorite city. Of course, my heart aches to be back but under the current circumstances, spending time apart is for the best. But make no mistake, New York is not dead. Far from it. This crazy/thrilling/serendipitous city will emerge on the other side of this pandemic stronger than ever.

Before the weather officially turns frightful and bare ankles are no longer a feasible option, we still have a few short weeks to enjoy peak fall vibes. As you find yourself summoning all your beloved fall staples from seasons' past (helloooo and nice to see you again), I invite you to check out three of my favorite trend-driven pieces that I've either already invested in or hopefully will soon.

As we all continue to adapt and adjust to a new normal (whatever that may mean for you), correspondence with your loved ones is NOT canceled. While you may not be able to meet up for coffee or gather with the fam for a backyard barbecue, you can still take the time to write. And we don’t just mean sending a short text filled with your favorite emojis and internet slang or hopping on for a quick Zoom call. If you’re not already equipped with cute stationery and fancy writing utensils, then now would be a good time to join the writer’s club.

While this summer may be a bit different, there are still plenty of things to look forward to. As you continue to find ways to beat the heat, you’ll be delighted to know that July is National Ice Cream Month. Can we get a hell yes?!? That’s a whopping 31 days when it’s considered socially acceptable to devour an entire pint of Chunky Monkey ice cream in one sitting.

How many times have you told your kiddos to put their laundry away or organize their sock drawer? Too many to count, amirite? We’re not trying to point any fingers, but when was the last time YOU cleaned off your dresser or nightstand? Practice what you preach by turning that heap of tangled necklaces into organized chaos.

Memorial Day has come and gone and you know what that means (it means that technically it’s summer!). It’s time to start dressing for hot girl summer 2.0 (mom #jokes). In reality, we know your impatient kiddo is complaining because there’s no ice cream in the freezer. Let’s just escape reality for a moment though and chat about all the super adorbs mom-approved sandals that *actually* make an at-home pedicure worth the work.

Nothing signals the arrival of warmer weather like a bangin’ one-piece swimsuit, your favorite sunscreen, and a killer pair of sunglasses that suddenly makes you feel like a bombshell babe. Okay, maybe a mojito in hand (in our wildest dreams), and then we’re talking.

Beyond a bubble bath or your favorite sheet mask (we like the tingly charcoal ones), taking the time to actually do your nails is such a luxury these days. Check out the best nail stickers and nail polish strips of 2020 that you can apply without even leaving the comfort of your couch. We can’t stress this enough but always use a top coat to seal the deal.

Since you’re no longer heading out to da club at the wee hours of the morning, ankle-breaking stilettos are no longer a necessity (thank you, NEXT). Comfort is our favorite seven letter word these days, especially when it comes to shopping for sensible heels that we can wear all damn day—from brunch dates with the moms from school to networking luncheons to Friday night Salsa dancing lessons with the hubs (hey, we can dream).

Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself to the finer things in life. Heaven knows you’ve earned it. While some moms steer clear of cashmere sweaters (hello, it can be a b*tch to keep clean and it isn’t exactly wallet-friendly), we say it can be done. Pauline Nakios, the founder of Lilla P, and maker of some gorgeous knits, is here to shed light on the do’s and don’ts of cashmere.

Being the busy mom that you are, you rarely have time to do a full face of makeup, let alone test out a bunch of potentially headache-inducing perfumes. But fear not: We got you, boo. Whether you already have a rotation of scents that you like to blend together (a dab here, a spritz there) or are in the market for one new standout scent to rule them all, you’ve come to the right place.

they’re just like us, give or take a rockstar wardrobe. It’s the same circle of style influencers that you continually stalk on Instagram that may very well inspire your upcoming bridal look. It makes sense, really. Just as you would glean endless inspo from a hefty stack of wedding magazines sitting atop your coffee table, who better to take wedding day cues from than your go-to blogger babes?
