PHOTOGRAPHY BY: Riley McCarthy Holiday Shopping Edit: Found At The Westchester Mall I like to start my holiday shopping as soon as possible. While I’m not perfect, I do try to begin as early as the beginning of November. Yes, well before Thanksgiving. But a girl likes to be prepared!

Anonymous Social Accounts, Westchester Memes And Monetization

A Summer Soirée With My Favorite Connecticut Bloggers

photos: Julia Dags There is something so magical about a rainy Summer day. I love the way the water makes everything glisten. It gives off a feeling that the world has been cleansed, and the smell is so refreshing to me. But now listen, if you’re hosting a mostly outdoor event in the Summer and there’s forecast for rain it’s stress city for you. Helen Phillips (@styleinherited) and Faith Perry (@thebicoastalbrunette) handled this semi-rainy day with confidence. You would have never known the event was meant to be exclusively outside. A Summer Soirée With My Favorite Connecticut Bloggers It’s no…
