A huge thank you to Backcountry & Shopstyle for sponsoring this post.
We just returned from a three-week trip to the lake. And by 'the lake' I mean the gorgeous, clear-watered, sandy bottomed, hidden gem of a lake located somewhere in the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

A few weeks ago, we drove from Philadelphia to St. Ignace, MI. It is...looking at Google Maps...a 13 hour drive? Lies! We were in that darn car for at least 15 hours.
And while I appreciated the words of support on IG...they were, overall, much too peppy. Next time, I need less "you can do it!!" and more "you poor...
Sometimes I forget this is REAL. One day I avoid the news at all costs. The next, my Google search looks something like this: "Coronavirus, NY updates" or "Coronavirus in Colombia" -- my family is in quarantine there, too. Is it just me?
At times it's so easy to forget about it in the comfort of my safe home. I'm...
There are so many reasons I love this little city of mine. I've called it one of the most under-rated cities in America, and I stand by that description. Philly is often overshadowed by neighboring NYC or Washington DC...but here's the thing: nobody cares.

I'm a Philly girl. My love of our local talent is fierce and deep (don't read that the wrong way). There's no shortage of beautiful people crafting and presenting beautiful things here — none whatsoever. My mind and heart are blown, regularly, just walking our streets and visiting our events.(Those were the days, right? When we did that?)

Mike and I took the boys home to Michigan recently, and ended up making a quick trip to Detroit. It was — shockingly — a really, really fun city to visit in the winter. (I hear Detroit is even better in the summer, but we had a total blast, cold or no.) If you'd like to see what we...
Mike and I are both originally from Michigan (he's from Grand Rapids, I'm from the U.P.), but it had been years since we visited Detroit. So when we found ourselves in that part of the state for Thanksgiving, we decided to make a quick trip of it.
Detroit has been going through an economic revitalization for years now,...
My mom was visiting Philly over Memorial Day Weekend, so we ended up taking her to the shore for a few nights. Since we were short on time, we booked a room at the ICONA Hotel instead of renting a beach house. It turned out to be a perfect little weekend getaway, especially for anyone who can't commit to...
A couple of weeks ago, the TME team flew out to Philadelphia for some photoshoots and fun. Well...not the entire team. Cam and Tiarra couldn't make it (sob!!) but the rest of the gang was here. It's strange to think that many of the team members have never met in real life. We get on our zoom calls each...
