July has been delicious. A happy-hour-@-4:30pm-on-a-weekday kind of situation. An every-season-is-Leo-Season scenario. 🦁

Multiple (early) birthday celebrations, friends in town, a visit to San Diego to see Grandma, lots of oysters & champagne. 🍾🦪💦

As always, it’s good.

Pride Month—one of my favorite months (alongside August & December)—was uncharacteristically slow. The slowest month of the year, so far! Lots of quiet, lots of time recharging at home. 🔮

& yet: had some fun; sold some art; made some new friends; celebrated with old friends; drank many matchas (& martinis [not at the same time]); read some books; visited some museums; cried while watching The Sheep Detectives. 🐑

The days curled up reading on the couch were just as necessary as the days of charbroiled oysters at our favorite jazz club where the handsome musicians with big nail beds drank cappuccinos between songs. It’s all special & it’s all wonderful. 🦪💦

ps every month is Pride Month. 🤭🌈💅🏻

April—like March, & February, & January, & December—was a thrilling month full of beautiful things. 🥲 A half-dozen visits to @dumbartonoaks to see the wisteria & tulips & daffodils & magnolias springing to life. 🪻 A trip to San Diego to see Grandma, including late nights of gossiping & story-telling, dinners with friends, ocean-view sunsets, & *several* bottles of champagne. 🍾 @goosecup turning five! 🪿☕️ @spencerbeckart turning six! 🎨 Fabulous art exhibits (the @baltimoremuseumofart Louis Fratino show is beyond), a bit of shopping, a few (okay, many) gin martinis, out-of-control dates with @juliengarman, & my endlessly-delicious husband @sebbiebear making every day special. 🕺🏼 Laughter! Beauty! Celebration! It just can’t get better. 🍸

My fourth monthly photo dump! From snowfall to sunrise cherry blossoms (thanks, @igdc‼️🌸), March had it all.

What a privilege it is, to struggle to narrow a month down to twenty special moments. I love organizing life around beauty, around laughter, around friendship, & March had those in spades. ♠️ Wheezing to the point of tears while seeing @juliengarman multiple times (including a spontaneous date night with her & @sebbiebear in the city). Buying vintage jazz records. Thrilling new seasonal drinks at @goosecup. My husband getting me my first piece of Cartier “just because”. & flowers! So many flowers.

I do sometimes struggle with being envious of other people with nicer houses, people with more money, people who travel more & have Rimowa suitcases & Panthère watches.

& then, I look through these snapshots from the month & realize, I really don’t think my life could get more delicious than this. It’s a good life. 🥹

This is my third month in a row doing a photo-dump/roundup, & as I look through all the pictures I have taken during February, it’s fun to remember the: chic estate sales; historic house tours; delicious architecture; compelling artwork; delightful cocktails enjoyed in dazzling bars; many special matcha dates/lunches/happy hours/dinners with family & friends; wonderful days spent with my extraordinary husband (including celebrating both Valentine’s Day & his birthday!).

From laughter-filled phone calls with Grandma to cloudy evenings at home rewatching Smash (eternally & unapologetically Team Ivy thanks so much) to door handles shaped like leopards, February was yet another beautiful month in a beautiful life.

It feels uncharacteristic, if not blasphemous, if I—a Leo—call December my favorite month. & yet. 🎄🥂✨

I’ve only posted a dozen things to my feed in the past four years (which feels strange, as “documenting my life” on this platform used to mean so much to me), but I’m gonna join the hip girlies & post a December photo-dump because, the month was full of cozy mornings at home by the xmas trees (plural) & fun evenings out at chic events with live jazz music. Weekend road trips around the region & more steak frites+champagne dinners than I can remember. Celebrations with dear friends (including seeing @juliengarman four times‼️) & so, so many ornaments. Beautiful things every day, everywhere I looked &, always, my husband by my side. 🥲

What a joyful, sparkly, wonderful, matchbook-filled month that was *very* difficult to narrow down to twenty photos.

How cute is @spencerbeck of @spencerbeckart x @itsnotjuststuff in his vintage silk scarf he snagged from my pop-up at @closedcaption.shop x @withlove.studios shop in Old Town?! 🥹🥹
