My 26th Birthday Photoshoot

It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to…

Happy 26th birthday to me! I love staging birthday photoshoots, and this one is particularly special just because of WHERE I shot these photos. Look I know it’s hard to top last years birthday photoshoot but I had to try! This photoshoot portrays the many feelings I have about turning *barf* 26. You can read this blog post to review how I feel about my 25th year. I took these photos in my very own apartment (!!!!!!) which I did not think I would do for 26th birthday. But here we are! I love things that sparkle and shine and I love using my DSLR with my tripod, flash and my self-timer. Hope you enjoy these photos!

Wedding Guest Dress Guide: Renting

Pro-tip: now that weddings are a thing again, you can save a ton of money by renting your dresses instead of buying them. As a Rent the Runway Ambassador, I am the biggest advocate for renting, instead of buying for big events. Last weekend I went to a wedding in Richmond for one of my best friend’s sisters. While I have a monthly subscription to Rent the Runway, I did a one-time rental for this dress I’m wearing above. It was quick, easy, not as expensive as if I had bought a totally new dress and I got so many compliments! Over the last 2 years, I have rented a bunch of dresses from RTR that I think would make excellent wedding guest dresses. So here are my top picks for Wedding Guest Dress from Rent The Runway.

Jean Jacket in a Sunflower Field

You may remember this post I made a few years ago. Well I have great news- Kayla and I were finally able to find a sunflower field where the sunflowers were alive! This field just happens to be in my hometown, right down the street from both the church I grew up in and my office. This is the second summer these sunflowers have been around and I was so happy to get to see them. I know everyone is ready for fall, but I think September is the perfect transition month and deserves to be celebrated (not just because my birthday is in late September). To me, sunflowers symbolize the end of summer and transition into fall. So taking pictures in this field at golden hour with Kayla was magical. Here is one last ode to summer. Hope you enjoy these photos!

Bad at Badminton

Look-I am (probably) bad at badminton, but I look fantastic in this outfit. All summer I have been dressing like a wealthy tennis mom who lives in the Hamptons and I have been loving it. These outfits are always preppy, classic and comfortable. I love editing my photos to look vintage and retro, which is the vibe of this blog post. I’m hoping it looks like I am playing badminton with some old chaps in Upstate New York during the summer of ’54. Even thoughI took these photos while I was dogsitting a few weeks ago (so say hi to Bailey when she pops up in these pictures). It may be September, but it’s not Labor Day yet so wearing white is still socially acceptable! Outfit links are below!

September 2021 Wishlist

Okay… now that its September 1st, I am ready for fall. Or at least ready to make the transition into fall. It is going to continue to be hot and humid until at least mid-October here in Maryland. Now that August has slipped away into a moment in time (lol) I have my eye on a few pieces that would look great in my closet this September. So here is my September 2021 wishlist.

Taylor Swift Cape Cod Outfit Recreations

The summer of 2012 when Taylor Swift paraded around with the Kennedys continues to live rent free in my mind. I was obsessed with the outfits she wore then and I’m still obsessed with them now. Last year during lockdown, I started making these series of Taylor Swift Street Style recreations. It is always like a scavenger hunt to try to find pieces close to what Taylor wore during these specific eras. Taylor does such an excellent job of distinguishing eras with her style (although lately I have literally no idea what era we’re currently in). And while I’m trying to create a street style series for each album era, I wanted to do this series of Taylor’s outfits during the summer of 2012 when she was in Cape Cod. This was right before the release of RED. These outfits also reflect my personal style pretty well, (probably because Taylor has influenced my style since I was a teenager) so I had a lot of fun recreating them. I took all of these pictures last summer at my parents’ house, even though I wish I was in Cape Cod.

Full transparency: I really wish I could have posted this sooner in the summer because it looks like everyone is already ready for fall. But I’m getting this out before September even if I have to stay up all night! Even if your brain is jumping right into fall, I hope you find some last minute summer outfit inspo from this post.

Blue Abercrombie Exercise Dress

Confession: I am totally on board with the exercise dress obsession I’ve seen lately on my Instagram feed! I already decided at the beginning of the summer that my fashion sense was going to be “sporty tennis mom who just dropped her kids off at camp”-chic. So the exercise dress fits perfectly into that theme. There are a ton of ways to style an exercise dress, but here is one of my favorite ways as of late.

KimberKopy: Meredith Blake From The Parent Trap

Being young and beautiful is not a crime, you know?

I’ll be the first to say I am a HUGE Meredith Blake fan. I have wanted to do this KimberKopy for so long! The Parent Trap has always been one of my favorite movies. And recently, I feel like there is a cultural revelation for women my age who are starting to think “hmm… maybe Meredith a some point”. After all, she was only 26! Maybe she wasn’t the villain? Because if I had the option, to live with a handsome millionaire in Napa, I would!- twins be damned. She is an inspirational queen to this generation of women! Plus-the outfit she wears during this scene is iconic in itself and so easy to recreate. Elaine Hendrix DID THAT. Click below to check out more pictures and how to get this effortlessly chic summer look.

Summer Sundress Guide: Under $100

Truth be told: the only thing I want to put on my body when it gets insanely hot out is a festive summer sundress. Lately I’ve been really in love with midi dresses, because I think they look great on my tall frame. So here is a dump-post of some of the summer sundresses I have my eye on at Free People, J.Crew, Target and H&M.

My Favorite Color: Lavender

I want to know two things: what is your favorite color? Do you wear your favorite color most often? Since I was in 1st grade, my favorite color has always been lavender. That is the color I asked my parents to paint my childhood bedroom and ever since, every time I see it out in the wild or in a store, I obsess over it. It makes me happy! I’m sure there is some psych explanation for our favorite color. Surprisingly enough, I don’t own a lot of lavender (I guess my closet color palette is more neutral/preppy than my favorite color would let on). But lately I have been renting this color a whole bunch or saving this color for a special occasion. As the summer progresses and I get the bug to spend some money, my eyes always wander to the lavender pieces in an online store. And I wanted to share some of those with you in this post! So here are some of my favorite outfits that feature my favorite color, and a few lavender pieces I have my eye on to purchase.
