How to Plan the Perfect Babymoon
October 30, 2017
Your checklist before baby arrives probably includes things like, “decorate the nursery,” and “buy all the products.” Allow me to add a few things YOU truly need to the list: deep sleep, relaxing activities, uninterrupted meals, and time outside of the house.

– MyStylist at Macy’s – My Shopping Experience
October 13, 2017
We made an appointment with a Macy’s personal shopper, and it totally changed our shopping game—here’s why!

But as it turns out, having a personal stylist isn’t just for people […]
– #TrendWatch – Travel-Themed Bridal Shower
October 4, 2017
I love browsing Pinterest for bridal shower inspiration, menu ideas, and DIY décor, but after an hour (or two) of scrolling, I tend to feel overwhelmed.

How to Talk to a Difficult Bride (and when you really shouldn’t)
July 7, 2017
Amongst women in their twenties, the bridesmaid experience is a favorite conversation topic. Almost every young woman has a hilarious/cringe-worthy/unbelievable story to tell. Like war veterans swapping battle stories, veteran bridesmaids love to “one-up” one another with tales of bratty brides, budget-busting bachelorette weekends, and not-so-beautiful bridesmaid dresses. So what’s a bridesmaid to do? I don’t […]

Set the Table in Style with Macy’s!
April 21, 2017
I’ve always loved beautiful dinnerware, serving pieces, and crystal.

If you’re expecting a little one, your life is about to get unpredictable.

Ten Travel Essentials for Your Honeymoon
December 30, 2016
When it comes to wedding planning, what to bring on the honeymoon usually lands low on the “to-do” list: somewhere way under choosing a wedding dress, venue, and creating the wedding registry. But your honeymoon is often the most luxurious vacation of your life, so shouldn’t every bride feel prepared? I think so, and so […]
Why I Love Winter Wedding Showers
December 15, 2016
While the idea of hosting a wedding shower over the holidays might sound frightful, I’m here to tell you that the idea is actually delightful!
