Grammie turns 99!

Is everyone excited for a long holiday weekend?! I cannot believe we have arrived at the unofficial start of summer. 2025 is flying by! It's unfortunately going to be chilly all weekend- I swear we have sketchy weather every MDW! So I don't know if we will get much pool time, if any. Though I am glad about all of the rain we have been getting lately. My plants are absolutely thriving. The last few summers have been so swelteringly hot and dry that my plants were miserable all summer. It's so lovely to look out the window at such a verdant view, and it makes me feel like I am actually an accomplished gardener, ha!!!

We have big plans to clean out our garage, which doesn't sound fun, but we are going to make it fun! We will make cocktails, jam out to music, and get it done. This has been a long time coming, and I don't know how we have accumulated so much stuff, but we are PURGING! I am honestly a bit excited, haha! We are also checking out a new restaurant that has been on my list to try for a while, and getting together with friends for a BBQ! I am also excited to sleep in and go on many walks. 

This past weekend, I got together with girlfriends, went to a family friend's baby shower, and celebrated my grammie's 99th birthday! It was so full and fun and one of those weekends that remind you how sweet life is! I also enjoyed playing hooky yesterday morning and getting together with girlfriends for coffee. We don't do that often enough! 

Sweater// Shorts

White Sweater// Similar Linen Pants

Wearing: This week I've been casual and probably will be all weekend, except for our date night. As much as I love to dress up, I've done a lot of it lately, so it's nice to switch it up and wear comfy clothes!

Stackable Dough Container

Eating: My husband loves this stackable food storage container, perfect for storing dough in the refrigerator. It would make a great under $50 gift idea! 

Rose

Drinking: Had a glass of rosé with my mom the other night. This is the best rosé... which you may want to take with a grain of salt because I am not a rosé drinker, but this is so light! When I post about this, people ask where you can get it in Pittsburgh. I haven't found it here yet. If you order 6 bottles on their site, you get free shipping, and I always search for an influencer code. I think SPRING15 works! I really love their Lambrusco, too. 

Mirror on sale! 

Sale: 'Tis the season for LOTS of sales. Truly, so many! I will be back tomorrow with my top picks but for today, I'll share just a handful! 

J. McLaughlin// Amazing sale section for both men and women! I got my husband these gorgeous suede shoes under $150. 

Dermstore// Up to 20% off with code SUMMERWIND. It's probably no surprise this is my #1 rec. 

Vineyard Vines// 25% off everything with code VVFAM

S+L// Lots of items 20-30%ish off! 

J. Crew// up to 50% off 1000s of styles! This dress is on sale under $150. I have it in black and it is SO chic and elegant. 

Adidas// Up to 30% off! My picks here!

Sue Sartor// 30% off with code MDW30. I have and love this dress, but love this one, too!

Talbots// 30% off entire purchase, including markdowns.  Love this sweater- how fun for 4th of July, and this striped dress! 

Frank and Eileen// Lots of markdowns but they are all final sale so make sure you grab the right size! 

Everlane// 25% off sitewide. This shirt is currently in my cart. 

Watching: Have you all watched anything good lately?! We have been watching nada! I would love some recs- even movies! 

Listening: This is SO random, but I've recently been listening to the 'Watercolors' channel on Sirius in the car. It's basically elevator jazz, but it's so nice to have on in the background when I'm just going on a quick trip to the grocery.

2026 Calendar

Loving: I received a fun package from Rifle this weekend, and it was their 2026 calendar. I can't believe it is that time of year already. This is technically a wall calendar, but I have used this exact calendar as a desk blotter for nearly 10 years. It's the BEST because you can see the whole month at a glance, and each day has a block large enough for writing multiple things. Plus, the notes section to the right is so useful. I also love that, at the top, to the left and right of the date, is the perfect size for a sticky note, so you can add in more notes if needed. It's just the perfect paper calendar for m,e and I could not recommend it more! I also love the designs. This year, September is my favorite!

Wanting: Lake just launched new men's styles - perfect timing for Father's Day! I'm not a big shorts gal but my goodness, these are gorgeous! Love this skirt so much- happy to see it on sale! I'm ordering these adorable stickers to spice up my calendar- only $6 on sale! These heels! The most perfect dress for 4th of July! This dress is SO perfect for a summer wedding guest! Need this lobster tank!!! My favorite sweatshirt is on sale for under $50! Love this dress- perfect for a vacation! Simple bangles to have on hand to pair with so many outfits! The simple but elegant cut of this dress is lovely. This timeless sweater tank is in my cart! I've been eyeing these flats, which are on sale- they come in many colors!

My Sandals// Similar Sandals

Amazon Rec: The similar sandals I am linking to look nearly identical to the designer sandals I am wearing in the photos above! Such a good find! 

You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!

Body Mist

Smelling: I recently received a PR package from Salt and Stone. I'm very familiar with this brand, as I have enjoyed using their body wash and deodorants in years past. Their scents are all top-notch. In the package, I received body mist, which I didn't even know they made, and oh my goodness, it's incredible!!! I asked them for a discount code, and they obliged! My code is SYDNEY15. 

Traveling: We finally booked our hotels for Portugal, so I'm ready for some restaurant/shopping/etc. recommendations if you have them! We are spending part of our trip in Lisbon and another part in Cascais, and may take a day trip or two elsewhere! 

Quoting: 'A man asked a gardener why his plants grew so beautifully. The gardener said: “I don't force them to grow. I remove what stops them.' // See more of my favorites, here.

Sale Alert: Adidas

Today, I’m excited to partner with Adidas to share a few favorite outfits that suit my active lifestyle.

Sweatshirt// Shorts

Sneakers

I love this set, which comes in 3 colors and is 20% off with code SUMMER! I'm wearing a size small in both the top and bottom. I love that the shorts have built-in bike shorts, making them extra comfortable. These sneakers are classic with the gum sole. The fabric is so lightweight and smooth, and the mock neck on the sweatshirt is a stylish touch. 

It’s been a while since I’ve done a workout update! These days, a typical week includes two OrangeTheory classes, one Pilates class, and hitting 10k steps at least five days a week.

Last year, I swapped out a third OrangeTheory class for Pilates. While Pilates isn’t my favorite, it’s been a great addition overall. Pilates has helped me improve my flexibility and be cognizant of my body position when doing any other workout! It has been very easy to fit into my routine making it easy to stick to. 

I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been...even my flexibility has improved! I can run faster and farther, row at higher wattages for longer, and lift more than ever. I can even do things I haven’t done since cheerleading, like heel stretches!

All that said, the most important part is how I feel. I genuinely enjoy moving my body and being active.

I’ve always been active, but in my early to mid-20s, I didn’t prioritize fitness. I was working full-time and spending nights and weekends building this blog, which I don’t regret one bit! Pouring myself into it led me to a career I love.

In 2017, I got Henry (the best decision ever). He got me outside, and we started walking a lot and still do!

When I lived downtown, I tried all kinds of boutique fitness classes with girlfriends, like rooftop yoga, trampoline cardio, and even tennis lessons. I started OrangeTheory in 2019, got a bike and rower during the pandemic, and walked with Henry almost every day.

In the summer, I love to golf and play pickleball, too.

These days, I care less about chasing a six-pack and more about feeling my best. That’s what motivates me now—feeling good. 

Exercise has gone from a chore to a lifestyle. I move my body every week. It's part of my rhythm now, and it's not about perfection, just consistency. The mental clarity I gain from a good workout or a long outdoor walk is worth its weight in gold and is the main driver of my consistency! 

Dress// Sneakers

I love the vintage vibe of this dress, which has detached bike shorts underneath! It has three pockets perfect for pickleball, golf, or tennis balls! I am wearing a size medium; I would recommend sizing up! The green in the sneakers pairs perfectly with the dress. The sneakers run true to size. I got a women's size 8.5. 

While I love dressing up, when I’m active, I need clothes that move with me. Let’s be honest: cute athletic wear definitely makes working out more fun!

Today, I'm focusing mostly on things for walks, golf, and pickleball/tennis in this post as I'm looking ahead on my calendar, and that's what I'm seeing the most of! I'm excited to play in our club's annual Father/Daughter golf outing. We missed it last year and I was so bummed because it's always such a fun event. 

Plus, Adidas has a 30% off sale with code SUMMER through the 22nd! 

Sneakers

The sneakers also look great outside activewear with a simple outfit like this. I'd wear this to a concert, sporting event, flight, or even just running errands! 

A few things I have my eye on... 

Pink Golf Glove// Cashmere Sweater// Navy Zip Jacket (wow this is a steal!!!)

White Sneakers// Floral Hat

Pleated Skort// Cream Sneakers (13 colorways)

Pink and Green Sneakers// Golf Shoes

The White Sneakers and the Cream Sneakers are what I wear to Orange Theory! They are both on sale. I love how cushioned and lightweight they are. 

Thank you to Adidas for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Recent Outfits

Dress use code SYDNEY50 for $50 off// Bow Block Heels under $50 with code EXTRAS

I have been so busy lately with many wonderful excuses to get dressed, and I've been slow to share my outfits because of how busy I have been! Tisk tisk! So, let's run through what I've worn lately. I'll add in discount codes where applicable! 

Since Memorial Day weekend is just days away, if you click on an item and want to purchase but it's still full price, consider holding off for a few more days to see if it goes on sale. I've been getting many emails from brands with sneak peek details of their sales, and there are SO many good sales coming right up! 

I wore this gorgeous dress to a baby shower this weekend! I am wearing a size small and would suggest getting your true size or even sizing down. This is a touch big on me- fits like a roomy 4 or even a smaller 6. The shoes are a STEAL. They are so comfortable with a modest block heel and the cutest bow trio up the foot. They run true to size. Be sure to use the code EXTRAS to get an extra 20% off- I think today is the last day for that code. 

Tee// Striped Pullover on sale with code VVFAM// Pink Shorts 

I've been putting on this when I get home. Does anyone else immediately change into comfy clothes once they return home?! The white tee is made of quality, thick cotton. It has the perfect boxy fit and slightly cropped cut for high-waisted bottoms like these shorts. This tee runs roomy, so don't size up. I am wearing a small, and even though it shrinks a bit in the dryer, there's no need to size up to account for shrinkage. I was able to snag it on sale, and I don't see the white on sale right now, so hopefully it will pop back on sale soon! I did a sponsored post with Vineyard Vines on Instagram a few weeks ago, and this pullover was part of it. It's their 'dreamcloth' fabric, and WOW, it is nice. My husband felt it, unprompted, and could not stop raving about how the fabric is so amazing. It's a very smooth, almost jersey feel on the outside, but the inside is a velvety smooth, lightweight fleece-like material. It feels weird calling it fleece, because it's not really a heavy pullover- it's more light to midweight. Anyway, highly recommend this, but size up! I got a size medium! It is on sale with the code VVFAM. 

Smocked Dress sometimes the code YOUROCK or YOURULE works

This dress is adorable, and while it's not the fanciest, it's one of those things you can truly just throw on but look nice. It has the comfort of basically wearing a nightgown. This runs true to size; I am wearing a size small. It has enough compression in the smocked portion that you don't need a bra if you don't want to wear one. I'm not wearing one in the photo, and I don't really think you can tell. The check print is navy and cream- hard to tell in this photo, I know! 

Navy Linen Dress// Striped Cardigan use code SUMMERWIND10

Gold Necklace// Gold Sandals

Wicker Basket Bag I don't think code SYDNEY20 works, but it's worth plugging it in and trying to see if it works because they activate it and deactivate it quite a bit! 

I wore this for my Grammie's 99th birthday dinner! It was just a casual dinner as we will celebrate with more friends and family later, but it was such a nice night out! I would think this dress will go on sale for MDW- I have no idea for sure, but I know historically J.Crew always has a nice sale around the long weekend! 

Shoes// Similar Look for Less

White Dress code YOUROCK or YOURULE may work// Earrings

Shoes// Cashmere Wrap

On Friday, I went to my favorite Pittsburgh restaurant, Pusadee's Garden, for dinner with some girlfriends. It was hot and humid so this was the perfect easy breeze thing to wear! This dress is fully lined and a halterneck, column style dress. It runs true to size but is roomy. I'm wearing a size small. 

If you are ever visiting Pittsburgh, this is the #1 restaurant that I recommend to everyone. It's inventive Thai food and my favorites are the Roti appetizer, 17-ingredient salad, and the Khao Soy beef. I also love the swanky but casual atmosphere. 

(similar) Red Athletic Dress// Striped Cardigan use code SUMMERWIND10

I love the fabric and fit from this brand. This dress is from last year, but they have an even cuter cut this year in this same cherry red color. The quality is topnotch and I love that there are built-in shorts but you can still use the bathroom without having to take the whole thing off and you don't need to wear a bra because there is built-in support. 

Crewneck Sweater// Jeans// Earrings

It was chilly yesterday so this is what I wore. It's unfortunately going to be chilly all week and into the weekend!! 

Shirt// Clover Necklace// (similar) Linen Shorts

This was a very casual work from home outfit from last week. Comfortable staples! 

Athletic Jacket// Bike Shorts on sale for $39!

This was a pilates outfit from last week! I love this athletic jacket because it is so flattering. It's the perfect lightweight for this time of year but also great for layering under coats in the colder weather. It comes in many colors and some are on sale.
