Happy weekend, friends! What’s on all of your agendas? Today’s post is predictably up a little later due to day light savings — which I, for one, am actually really excited about since it means an extra hour of light in the evenings, and a hint at the end of the long dark days of […]
The more conversations I have with my girlfriends, the more I realize: women are natural worriers. We worry about little things (I woke up at 2am last night with my mind racing about the wood floors we’re getting installed!) and the big things (families, health, job security… the list goes on.)

Best friends Sophie Collins and Gillian Segal show us how to do the quintessential girls’ V-day soiree that […]
All you need is love, your favorite ladies and luxurious lingerie to turn any regular afternoon into an affair to remember. And we were able to do just that with a pop-up party we hosted with the help of our friends at Flora Nuit, a brand that brings shopping for beautiful intimate apparel into the comfort of […]
