How to Stay Organized at Work When Life Gets Busy

I’ve said this before, but I thrive on being as organized as possible. Especially during the holiday season, which is my busiest time of year both with work and socially speaking! I love being as organized as possible. Case in point: my perfectly put-together closet in my first Charleston apartment. The folding, the shoes organization: it speaks to my soul! But I also had a “shame room” in that apartment. Decidedly less curated. I really see my house as my sanctuary. If everything isn’t in its place, I feel off.

Fall Styles Under $200

Great style does not have to mean spending tons of money, which is why it’s so important to me to highlight shopping finds in a range of price points. One thing you may not know is that I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! It’s packed with fantastic finds at accessible prices. Right now, a few personal highlights are . . .

Deck the Halls

In the past, I’ve decorated my house waayyyy early! I’d do it because I had holiday campaigns with brands (and honestly, after the election last year, I wanted something to cheer me up a bit!). It was fun, but by January, I would be over it and ready to tear it all down! This year, I don’t seem to have any holiday-specific work lined up, and I don’t mind that at all. I plan to set up my tree and bring down the decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving. Still, I am getting quite excited as I plan out my decor! Over on my ShopMy page, I’ve been saving favorite ornaments and holiday-related things, and last week we rounded up the prettiest holiday wrapping paper and ribbons.

Carly’s Cut, Vol. 3

Fall always feels like my personal reset button. Maybe it’s the Scorpio in me (how original, I know), or maybe it’s those stubborn New England roots, but there’s something about October that makes me feel like I’m finally in season. The air gets that just-right crispness, the beanies emerge from the depths of my closet, and The Great Pumpkin Waltz becomes the official soundtrack of our living room. We started the month in Madrid and Marrakech, and now I’m back home feeling refueled, inspired, and ready to romanticize every last leaf that hits the pavement. . . if that ever happens here in Charleston.
