I love Colorado!! During Labor Day weekend, I made the trek out to Colorado to visit one of my best friends, Melissa, and her boyfriend, Jordan (and their cat Yonce). I spent a whole week there and had an absolute blast. Cassie (who lives in Baltimore too) and Kalen (who lives in her van and is constantly on the move) met us there as well for some hiking, drinking and the Jonas Brother’s concert. It was Melissa’s birthday too and we love to celebrate our girl. It was my first time in Denver and Boulder, and I had used the money that was originally for me and Melissa to fly out to LA for Loverfest (RIP) to get out there. Here is a cluttered and messy photo dump of an amazing week. That includes blurry pics from my iPhone 8, under exposed photos from some disposable cameras and some weirdly groovy shots from my HUJI cam. Hope you enjoy!
Read More >>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!

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.
Read More >>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.

Sometimes I like to use my blog as a diary. Here’s a photo dump of my family’s beach vacation last week. I edited most of these with the Tezza app! You can find links to what I’m wearing on my LTK!
Read More >>Burrata and Peach Spinach Salad
Woo-hoo single living! I have been enjoying my solo life in my own apartment. I’m a very lazy cook but when I find an easy recipe I like, I obsess over it and make it over and over again. Which is why I am presenting you with this gorgeous looking salad. It’s surprisingly filling and very easy to throw together.

We did it! Or I guess I did it…I completed my GoodReads 2021 Book Challenge. I first downloaded GoodReads at the beginning of 2020. Surprisingly enough, I did not complete my 2020 Book Challenge, but I definitely developed a huge reading bag last winter and started listening to audiobooks like crazy. You can imagine my surprise when I finished my 2021 Book Challenge 5 months early!? Go Kim! I’d like to thank my book club and the Libby App. I wanted to give a short recap of every book I read in the challenge and also tell you to follow me on GoodReads! If you want more detailed reviews of these books, that is where you will find it.
Read More >>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.

Okay! Now that I have the bare necessities for my apartment, now it is time for the fun stuff! I’m talking lighting, decor and organization. Here are some items from Target I have my eye on.
Read More >>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.
