last day lewk

Thank you for all of your messages after my deeply personal 

post yesterday about the end of my career at Julie Vos.

It is important to show this side of motherhood, 

the impossible struggle for balance, 

for keeping your “before” life and profession in tact.

I had this on my bulletin board by my desk for the last 3 & 1/2 years,

 now if only the people responsible for getting that jewelry to the person wearing it were cared for.

I wanted to share my last day of work lewk,

because it was a good one,

going out with a bang

What I Wore: glasses- For Arts Sake, lips- Rimmel Kate "107", turtleneck + cardigan- La Ligne x Target, jeans- Gap, loafers- vintage, bag- vintage Dooney & Bourke

A perfect fall mani with OPI "A-Piers To Be Tan"

On my last day I of course had some poke from my favorite spot- Oki Poke

After work we went across the street for some margaritas at Mad Dog, 

a happy and sad tradition.

Margaritas make everything better.

The end of an era, 

I have loved working with my work bestie Olivia, 

we are the definition of a dream team, 

we accomplished so much together, 

we've really set up the company to continue to grow and succeed.

I am so proud of the leader she has become in the company 

& I hope they continue to treat her with the respect that she deserves. 

♥️ 

Good night NYC, 

I'm going to miss this walk

Back to New Jersey for the foreseeable future...

🎶 "Hot Child In The City" 🎶

- Nick Gilder

Baby's first time commuting to New York

(you know aside from being in the womb for 9+ months of commuting)

Immediately fell asleep on the train

1st stop: $1 slice of course!

Fun fact this is the same place we stopped after our transfer!

Next stop was to stop by the Julie Vos offices to have the team meet Little Charlie, 

I wanted to bring him by because they were there day in & day out of growing this little bean!

Next stop was hanging out at the library & Bryant Park!

This was full circle to be here with Little Charlie since our fertility clinic is right around the block 

What I Wore: glasses- Lowercase NYC via The Eyeglass Lass, earrings- Julie Vos "Penelope Studs Large", necklace- Julie Vos "Trieste Pearl Delicate Necklace", top- Loft, jacket- Kika Vargas x Target, jeans- Whoa Wait Walmart, boots- Modern Vice

A little I ♥️ NY for this first trip to the city!

Had some lunch at Kobeyaki, 

was a throwback to my FIT days

Finished with a street ice cream cone

On the way to Penn Station to head home,

we spotted the one & only David Byrne of our favorite band The Talking Heads 

RIDING HIS BIKE!

Talk about a celebrity sighting 👀 

Still can't believe this happened!

Great first family trip to NYC!

summer send off, annual JV boat trip!

Layered on the gold for the annual Julie Vos company boat trip!

{mani is Revlon "Holographic Pearls"}

But had to strap on the breast pump for my walk from Penn Station to my office,

talk about a "hot (momma) girl" walk...

All aboard!

Bigger boat than last year, 

thank goodness because the company has grown so much!

Sushi & champagne?! 

Yes please.

& I get to hang out with my bestie? 

#blessed

Hello NYC you are as pretty as ever!

Shout out to the boat staff who photo bombed almost all of my photos

🙄

Also shout to my Allbirds for becoming part of this outfit 

since the flats I originally wore fell apart at work before our trip.

What I Wore: sunglasses- Zenni Optical {use code ZENAWQMQCGY for 10% off!}, jewels- Julie Vos, top + skirt- vintage {thrifted}, sneakers- Allbirds

Thanks for the outfit pics Enid!

Sierra Nevada- if you need model imagery for the Hazy Little Thing IPA, 

I got you boo

So good to see Chloe too!

Saw a land lady liberty on the way back to the train too

& back to the hottest night club, 

this nasty, perpetually under construction, bathroom at Penn Station 

that is surprisingly a color story vibe

Felt great to celebrate with my coworkers, especially since last year I couldn't imbibe. 

Same Same but a year (and a baby) later!

I was in the "two week wait" after my embryo transfer 

& had to "act like I was pregnant" until results proved otherwise. 

But it worked after all!
