Hey friends! It’s been a while, huh?
I hate to be that blogger that’s always like OMG sorry I went so MIA, but…seriously - sorry 😉 I knew the past few weeks were going to be a bit crazy for me, but I didn’t anticipate that I wouldn’t be able to squeeze blog posts in.
Since my last life update post from my (second) weekend in Montauk, I’ve:
* spent a week at my family’s shore house in South NJ
* had my cousin Liz’s bachelorette weekend
* spent about a week in Cali! I stayed in Venice, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica
* been in Liz’s wedding this past weekend
Throw in my previous 2 trips to Montauk and Vegas back in June and…well, let’s just say it’s been quite the busy summer for me (but a seriously fun one - I definitely cannot complain!).
As much as I’m sad to see summer go, I’m excited to get back into my normal routine. And, let’s be real, I’m totally one of those girls who freaks out over all things fall and pumpkin and sweaters OH MY. Owning it.
I’m also entering into a new season where there may be some “rearranging” going on. If you couldn’t tell, I’m one of those people that always has about 49582 going on at once (and by 49582 I mean being the social media manager for 6 different brands, Speakable, GML, church volunteering, leading a small group, and 2 new projects I’ve been working on over the summer), and sometimes it can be pretty overwhelming. I know it’s my own fault and one of my biggest weaknesses. I often wonder if I’d be much more successful (and more content) if I focused on fewer things - and I always SAY I will do that - yet I somehow end up with more on my plate.
Like I said, I know I bring a lot of it upon myself, and being self-employed in New York City isn’t exactly the easiest feat in the world, so I’m trying to go easy on myself. But that’s kind of where I’m at right now + what I hope to work on/manage better as we go into fall.
Ok ok, venting over 😉
I must say I’m really excited to see what’s in store for the rest of the year. I’m pretty stoked about those 2 new projects I mentioned (which unfortunately I have to keep under wraps for now) + some fun newness for Speakable! I’ll be sure to share everything here first, of course.
Lastly, thank you all so much for your kind comments and emails over the past few weeks! I always love hearing from you - questions, feedback, etc. - and honestly some of your recent comments are what gave me the motivation to put this post together just now 
You’re all the best, seriously.

What’s new with you?? What are some of your goals for the new season?
glad to have you back and posting! so funny that we were in SB at the same time (OMG but how incredible is that city?! i looooooved it!). excited to hear about your new ventures/adventures!
I knowwww how crazy we were there same time!
p.s. let me know if you still want to come to Sisterhood Thurs night, would love it if you did! <3
LOVE those bridesmaid’s dresses! Mind sharing where you got them from?
They’re Adrianna Papell! I got mine at Nordstrom
Ohhh so happy you’re back! Your summer sounds like an ah-mazing one. But as you said, fall is fantastic too
I just started Architecture school here in Sweden and my one and only goal right now: absolutely and unequivocally kick ASS at it. Can’t wait. 😀
It looks like you’ve had one helluva summer, and when life just gets too full of fun adventures and long nights with good friends, it’s totally OK to take a step back and let your digital life take a backseat. Readers will still be here come fall, but sadly, the hot summer sun won’t!
September is crazy for me, as I’m transitioning into a new job at work, moving into my boyfriends apartment, and trying to juggle all of the other fun plans that I have lined up - it’s hard, but I know that all of this stress and chaos will pay off in the end.
