You know you just turned 29 when you’d rather celebrate by staying in to watch a Will Smith movie than getting turnt up at the bars.

No? Just me?

That’s right. I’ve officially entered my late twenties (years 26 through 28 counted as “late mid-twenties,” obviously) and I’m actually excited about it. It’s kind of strange, but I already feel changes a-brewin’. Besides my preference in Saturday-night activities, I feel like my whole MO is switching gears. I’ve always had a “more is more” approach to life, but I’m quickly realizing that the things I need more of in my life have been different than the things I’ve been chasing.

As part of Clinique’s #FaceForward campaign, I was challenged to make a promise to my future self, so I’m making three in the hopes that 29 is the best year yet.

1. Learn more. It’s been a while since I’ve graduated and some twisted little part of me misses it. But the good thing is that I don’t have to be stuck in a library to get my learn on – plus there are a lot more lessons to be learned than the ones you find in a textbook. A few life skills classes on my list: wine pairing, knife skills, sushi making, advanced photography, sewing … it’s like college, but the electives are way more fun.

2. Explore more. I’ve always had a desire to explore – I think that’s part of what brought me to move across the country in the first place. And the best part of living in New York is that there’s never a shortage of things to do, see and experience (i.e. finding the rainbow wall in DUMBO). After nearly three years here, I’ve got all of the major neighborhoods down pat. Now it’s time to check off a few of the outliers (Hoboken, Long Island City, Astoria, Bushwick) plus destinations along the East Coast that I have yet to visit (Cape Cod, Nantucket, Maine).

3. Create more. I’ve been blogging for over four years now and as I grow and evolve, my blog will undoubtedly follow suit. My content has been primarily focused on personal style and shopping, which I obviously love, but I feel like it’s time to switch gears a bit. I want to keep creating content that inspires and hopefully that will expand over the next year into lifestyle, design, and travel. Lots more to come and I can’t wait to share!

If 28 was amazing, then 29 is going to be incredible.

Skirt The Rules // Blue & White Striped Linen Dress

Lou & Grey ‘Hacienda’ cutaway dress // Straw clutch // Bourbon & Boweties pearl bracelet (c/o)
Cocktail ring // Striped Turkish towel

Fun fact: my favorite park in New York City isn’t actually in New York City. Over the weekend, James and I went out to Brooklyn to grab ice cream and hang out in Prospect Park. It takes 45 minutes to get there from where we live, but it’s well worth the trek. I love it way more than Central Park, because it actually feels like an escape from the hustle and grind. There are way less tourists and even though there’s sometimes a crowd, the vibe is much more laid back and much more enjoyable.

We rolled out a little striped blanket, snapped photos of our pup on our instant film camera and hung out while the sun set. I wore this striped linen dress, which is a material that I don’t wear often enough. It’s simple and lightweight and perfect for a little lounging. I highly recommend picking up some easy linen pieces and getting yourself out to Prospect Park this summer!

During the work week, chances are that you’ll find me dolled up in a dress or a skirt. On weekends, I prefer a much more laid back look. Loafers, shorts, and a super casual top (even button ups are pushin’ it here). My off duty looks are made for exploring new neighborhoods (this outfit was shot in Park Slope, Brooklyn), curling up at coffee shops and napping in the park. Happy weekend friends!
