I’m hosting an event with Lilly Pulitzer at the Upper East Side store this Saturday and I would LOVE for you to attend and shop with me! Not only will you have a chance to add some new pieces t to your closet for spring, there will be complimentary arrange-your-own bouquet bar, along with lots of yummy bites + bubbly! Word on the street (aka from the Lilly Pulitzer team) is that the store is going to be stocked fulllll of new arrival white dresses. Lilly Pulitzer has been one of my all-time favorite brands since childhood and I’m so honored they asked me to host this event.

Any nerves I had about saying goodbye to our New York apartment completely washed away the moment I stepped inside our new place in Jersey City. We signed the lease for a new 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment back in December after spending about two months researching and touring buildings in both Hoboken and Jersey City. Although it’s a little disorganized and still in need of furniture, our new apartment checks all the boxes on our list and just feels right. PS I’ve received a lot of questions asking why we chose Jersey City over Hoboken and honestly for us it was more about the building and finding the right apartment.
