I shared this on my Stories a few weeks ago, but wanted to give this one a home on my feed, too 💛 Recently, I had this piece of wallpaper framed: it’s a small sample of the wallpaper that used to hang in my grandma’s powder room in the house we all descended upon for the holidays and long, fun weeks in the summer. She used to wrap some of our birthday presents in it, so I knew she had extra lying around. About ten years ago I had the foresight to ask her for a piece and finally got around to having it framed. She no longer lives in that house and I’m so glad I can now hang a piece of it on my walls 🌱

Didn’t get anything on my to-do list done today

Didn’t get anything on my to-do list done today and instead spent a lazy Sunday reading @jennabhager’s newest memoir, a series of essays about her grandparents on both sides 📚 I loved ‘Sisters First’, the series of essays she published with her twin sister Barbara a few years ago, and this one was equally as good—I laughed and cried (I actually cried a lot while reading it; Jenna does such a good job of being raw and real), and it made my reflect on my own stories with my grandparents 🥰 Can’t recommend this one enough—I started and finished it today since it is *that* good!

TGIF 💃 Yesterday marked one month until my 30th

TGIF 💃 Yesterday marked one month until my 30th birthday, which means this is my last month in my 20s and I’m determined to make the most of it! 🥂 Yesterday was the perfect night for a rooftop happy hour, and I’ll take any excuse these days to get dressed up! I was influenced by my friend @cobaltchronicles to buy this leopard maxi dress and it is so perfect for this time of year—can’t recommend it enough! 🐆 Shop it for yourself here—it’s under $65 and most sizes are still in stock. If you’re between sizes, I’d size down! 👉🏻 http://liketk.it/2YWlM #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Missing colorful CHS on a dreary day here in Virginia ☔️ I had the day off work and spent it doing a lot of my favorite things—I slept in, read my book (I’m reading a great historical fiction about Alice Roosevelt!), got my nails done, worked out, did several loads of laundry, and finished watching Emily in Paris. 💕 This day could not have come at the more perfect time, I really needed a break. And now, a short week ahead! 👊🏻
