I enjoyed a trip to Charlottesville this weekend and it was the best time—it helped me get out of a bit of a funk and reminded me there are still things to look forward to on the road ahead ✨ We stayed at @draftsmanhotel right on West Main and it’s crazy to think this beautiful hotel is just steps away from my old college apartment. We loved this hotel—the room was so well decorated + spacious, the sheets were amazing, the lobby was stunning, and you can’t beat the location. We also got a great deal, so I’d highly recommend it if you need an escape right now, too. 🔑 How soon is too soon to go back??? 🤍

I framed Emma (by @jyoungdesignhouse!) up in the @framebridge Marquette and love how she turned out ✨ Framebridge is my go-to place for framing—and I love that their founder went to UVA, too! They do quality work, have competitive prices, and their customer service truly goes above and beyond. Can’t recommend them enough! 💓 It only took me months of working from home to commit to a desk, but I love how this space is turning out—it’s been so helpful to have a dedicated spot to get things done that’s separate from where I spend my time after work.

IMPORTANT PSA FOR TO-GO COCKTAIL ENTHUSIASTS 🥂

IMPORTANT PSA FOR TO-GO COCKTAIL ENTHUSIASTS 🥂 You can now grab a to-go beverage and sip, stroll, and shop all around @villageatshirlington 💃 My sister and I grabbed mimosas from @dudleyssportandale yesterday and did just that—it was such a nice way to enjoy the mild-ish day and mix things up. ☀️ These winter days have been really tough, but getting out of the house, walking around, and cheers-ing with strangers (from afar, of course!) was the most fun I’ve had in a while. 🍾🍊 Dudley’s has a great mimosa deal on weekends—$5 for a bottle of champs, $5 for a carafe of OJ, but lots of other restaurants in The Village are participating, too—a full list is on their website! To cap off our afternoon, we picked up @carlyle_gar to-go 🍔🍟 Their grilled chicken + havarti sandwich is my all-time fave! ✨ Thanks to @villageatshirlington for having us out for a great afternoon!

“...and so, when far away, in memory, we still shall be at the dear old U-Va.” 💙 Had to add a little piece of my favorite place to my work-from-home desk! (Note to my March 2020 self: you may want to pack up your entire desk before leaving the office. I miss all my nice pens + highlighters, hah!) ✨ I love this mug featuring a beautiful watercolor of The Rotunda from @sofia.lenore that I found on Etsy—it’s also available as a print!
