What I Wore on our Trip to Maine

Ogunquit, Maine

July 20, 2022

fashion-travel-blogger

Over the weekend we took a drive up to Ogunquit, Maine to enjoy a few days in Vacationland. I am usually much more organized when it comes to planning my trip outfits, but this time around I was swamped. I had a ton of work on my plate early in the week and then I headed down to Nantucket on Thursday to spend the day with NIR Retail (something I’ll be sharing over on my Instagram soon. A big thank you to everyone at Shop Nantucket for hosting me!). So I will admit that my packing for this trip was a bit all over the place. Luckily, I seemed to get together. Here is what I wore on our trip to Maine.

I’m Pregnant!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

I fully intended to get a Mother’s Day post up yes I fully intended to get a Mother’s Day post up yesterday, but I was too busy living it. Aside from traveling, there is nothing I love more than the beautiful, loud chaos of my family.

Alex spoiled us with a gorgeous brunch. Then he set up a fun obstacle course for Arielle and Aurora to tackle with Leyla and Chicho, while my mom watched, laughing at the madness. I snuck in some prep for Arielle’s upcoming birthday (I can never resist a good party-planning session). Throw in some epic ice cream sundaes and lullabies with my girls, and it was perfect. ✨

Speaking of songs, I had to share this sweet memory from our recent trip to the Museum of Science. Arielle captured this magical moment while Aurora serenaded me with You Are My Sunshine—one of the lullabies I sing to them every night.

And honestly? It’s true. When life gets tough, or the political landscape leaves me feeling hopeless, these two are the absolute sunshine that chases the grey clouds away. 

As much as I love my career—the travel, the fashion, the glamour, the sheer joy of creating content—when you strip it all away, they are the reason I wake up every morning. I love showing them the world, proving to them that you can fiercely love your kids, be present, and still fiercely chase your own dreams. I want them to know you can absolutely get ready to walk a runway and still help them with a school science fair project—even when wearing sequins. 🪩🥂

I am lucky to have the support that I do, not every woman has that. But I still carry a massive weight on my shoulders, just like every mother out there. Beyond the everyday chaos of chauffeuring to activities and appointments, and making sure everyone is fed and functioning, there is the heavy, invisible load. It’s balancing my freelance schedule, creator events, and travel with Alex’s work commitments. And then there’s the late-night anxiety of wondering what kind of world are we leaving these kids?

To say motherhood is tough is the understatement of the century. But if I were given the chance to do it all differently? I would choose my children over everything, in every single lifetime.

There are two types of people at Epcot on Cinco de There are two types of people at Epcot on Cinco de Mayo: those braving the midday Florida sun, and those of us who know the true luxury of the Mexico pavilion. 🌮✨ 

It is a completely different world in here—perpetual evening, top-tier air conditioning, and margaritas that actually deserve the hype. 

Taking a slow boat ride with the family while enjoying a perfectly salted rim is my kind of ride. 

Because you can absolutely be fully immersed in the mom-life hustle and still demand a chic cocktail break. 🍹

“Everybody wants this.” And honestly? Miranda Prie “Everybody wants this.” And honestly? Miranda Priestly was entirely right. 👠✨

I am still trying to convince myself I didn’t just dream up Thursday night walking the runway in honor of the sequel release for The Devil Wears Prada 2 with @showcaseus and @MarloMarketing!

But while walking a catwalk in a stunning Mac Duggal sequin dream had the butterflies working overtime, the real magic was in re-screening this film. You know I’m not just a regular fan; when the first movie was released in 2006, I was living in NYC, obsessed with fashion editorial, a theater major who had just rediscovered her love of writing. 

From my TV journalism career to becoming a Content Creator (the irony of being part of the ‘downfall of print’ narrative isn’t lost on me!), my perspective on The Devil Wears Prada has completed a full 20-year circle.

This film is a sharp, brilliant examination of social media superseding traditional editorial, gender equality, the death of print, and the new guard stepping into the spotlight. Miranda would certainly have something cutting to say about it, but I thought it was stunning. There is a moment when you almost wonder if Miranda has lost her edge, until you realize—we’re all just so tired as women.

I don’t want to give away too much, but I left the theater feeling a bit like a traitor to part of my own work, and I immediately went out and bought the May issue of Vogue with Anna and “Miranda” on the front. I had forgotten how good it felt to sit down with a real glossy magazine in my hands. I need to do this more often.

I’ll still always believe in Vogue as my bible. Who else is as excited for the sequel as I am?! 🥂🎬🍿

Sharing more of my thoughts over on my Substack (🔗 in bio)!

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. Walking the ru Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. Walking the runway as a mom of two on a random Thursday? A whole different kind of magic. ✨👠

When @ShowcaseUS asked me to walk the runway for the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, my inner fashion girl screamed “YES!” while my mom-brain immediately started calculating science fair schedules and dance class drop-offs.

You’d think a decade in TV journalism would make me immune to stage fright, but stepping onto an actual catwalk in this stunning Mac Duggal sequin dream had the butterflies working overtime. But honestly? The hardest part wasn’t the walk—it was battling the mom guilt of missing Arielle’s science fair.

There’s a moment in the new film where Miranda talks to Andy about all the time she missed with her kids—because she loves her work. It struck such a chord with me. I unapologetically love the work I do. I love the thrill of building my career, taking these wild opportunities, and yes, stepping onto a runway. But I also fiercely love my girls and I am so protective of my time with them and I cherish it, so navigating the tension between those two truths is the ultimate high-low juggle. 

(Massive shoutout to Alex, my sister and brother-in-law for stepping in at the science fair so I could step out this one time!)

It takes a village to get runway-ready. From my girl Heather at The Hair Society preserving these curls for 48 hours, to Aurora acting as my glam squad assistant, this entire week was a masterclass in balance. And it was worth every single second.

Because sometimes, you just have to put on the sequins, silence the guilt, and show your daughters what it looks like to own the spotlight. 🥂✨

Who else has seen the sequel already???! (Review coming soon, and I have thoughts!)

Everybody wants this.” And honestly? Miranda Pries Everybody wants this.” And honestly? Miranda Priestly was entirely right. 👠✨

I am still trying to convince myself I didn’t just dream up last night! I had the unbelievable opportunity to walk the runway in honor of the sequel release to one of my absolute favorite films, The Devil Wears Prada.

Channeling a little downtown grit, a whole lot of sequins, and my favorite hot pink heels, stepping onto that catwalk was pure magic. Not too shabby for a 4’11” former TV host stepping into her supermodel era for the night! 😉

A massive, chic thank you to @ShowcaseUS and @MarloMarketing for making my high-fashion dreams come true. The energy, the glamour, the sheer joy of the evening—it was everything.

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. Last night? Actually groundbreaking.

Plus, I had the chance to screen the film and let me tell you… I have THOUGHTS. A full review is coming soon, but I absolutely loved it. It is such a sharp, brilliant examination of social media superseding traditional editorial, gender equality, and the new guard stepping into the spotlight. It really makes you examine what this massive shift means for content and our society overall.  I thought it was stunning. 🥂🎬🍿

Tomorrow, The Devil Wears Prada 2 drops—exactly 20 Tomorrow, The Devil Wears Prada 2 drops—exactly 20 years after the original. Which immediately brought me back to this photo.

Central Park. Strawberry Fields. 2006.

I had just wrapped my freshman year living in NYC. Despite what the camo dress and the grey Walmart hoodie might suggest (listen, college budgets and a fleeting grunge phase will do that to a girl), I was fiercely obsessed with fashion. I had also just started dating Alex—the guy who, 8 years later, would become my husband, and 13 years later, the father to my girls.

Back then, with a year of city living under my belt and having navigated childhood hardships that no kid should ever have to face, I genuinely thought I had seen it all. Looking at this picture now? I realize just how beautifully green I really was.

When I first watched the film, I was 100% Team Andy. (Though, let’s be honest, I was definitely vibrating on Emily’s frequency, wishing I could afford even a fraction of that wardrobe.)

But as I’ve gotten older, my perspective has shifted. I understand Miranda’s POV more and more.

Yes, she’s a caricature. The movie leans into extremes for the sake of entertainment. But at her core? Miranda expected a job to be done, and she expected it to be done well.

These days, I am absolutely doing a better job at giving myself grace and protecting my boundaries between work and family life—something that film definitely doesn’t advocate for. But I will argue that Miranda’s expectation of excellence is something we should all strive for.

I’m not accepting any job half-done when it comes to my work, my business, or my collaborations. I show up, and I expect the same energy in return.

And that’s what I learned from Miranda.

That, and it’s Cerulean .... ☕️🚕👠

(BTW - I have something really exciting to share that’s happening tonight to do with The Devil Wears Prada 2! Make sure to stay tuned to my stories later today! 🤫💃)
