IN A MAINE STATE OF MIND

York, Maine

I love escaping to New England this time of year. Over Labor Day Weekend, I went to York, Maine to visit my family and to catch the last of summer on the Atlantic. We spent the weekend on the ocean, walked a little nature trail, and hung out at the beach. We had pretty much no cell reception and it was the first time I cracked open a book in about a month. It’s one of those places that’s truly good for the soul.

I wore this outfit to happy hour one night and got lots of messages about the top. It’s really simple but the little lace details make it special. It looks really cute with shorts but I also love it with tucked into high-waisted jeans. To bring it all together, I belted a striped scarf around my waist and added some chunkier white hoops.

How’s everybody’s weekend shaping up? It’s been pretty great on my end (despite getting shingles). From baths to home cooked meals (not sure how long it’s been since that’s happened!) to countless episodes of The Crown, this self-care weekend is doing me right. To be honest, I think that getting sick has reminded me that I need to slow down a bit. I was burning the candle at both ends, traveling from the east coast to the west coast then going into the office for a full day, staying at work till 10p then waking up at 7A to record voiceover… it was too much.  

I think today, there is so much pressure to be some sort of super-person. Maybe this was always a thing and I just ignored it, but lately, I feel it… a lot. Pressure to travel more, pressure to be a #girlboss, pressure to keep up with my friends’ life milestones, pressure to be funny…. I could go on here. But trying to do and be it all can be exhausting.

Sometimes a weekend free of plans is just good for the soul. Oh and on a fashionable note, isn’t this Chicwish sweater the coziest? Toss it on over graphic tee and jeans and you may have just found your new go-to weekend look.

TRY SOMETHING NEW

West Hollywood, CA

Tempted to wear that same maxi dress or sweater and shorts combo every weekend this fall? I hear that. However, this past Saturday, I stepped outside of my ‘go-to’ zone and went for a wide-legged two piece, and I have to say, it’s worth a try. This matching set from Poppy Lovers shop at ASOS, was not only as comfortable as my favorite pj’s, but it was great option that stood out from the crowd (in a good way). The cropped top and breezy bottom is a fall-friendly alternative to your typical daytime dress.

By the way, have you guys ever shopped the ASOS Marketplace? I just discovered it and there is an endless array of adorable boutiques and styles to shop. If this is old news, apologies! But then again, your welcome to those of you who are late to the game like me.
