Meet Kailey

Whether you have been here a while or just stopping by- I am so glad you are here! I thought it would be fun to reintroduce myself.

I was born and raised in Massachusetts and I just love it here. I live surrounded by my family and I feel blessed and privileged everyday to have this life.

I am a thirty something single gal and for some reason- that feels very rare to come across these days. I spent the end of my twenties unselfishly pursuing myself and am thankful I did- it’s what lead me “here”! In this new decade of life with so many amazing things ahead, I can’t wait to see where life takes me next. I’m thinking: a new location perhaps! Either way, I can’t wait to take you along with me.

I work in corporate for a fortune 500 company doing Quality Assurance. Do I like my job: most days, yes. Is it my lifelong career: No. Did I go to school for this: No. I studied Fashion Design and Retailing. Until further notice- I enjoy what I do, with the people I do it with and it pays the bills.

When it comes to fashion- I believe in finding the look for less. It isn’t often that I pay full price for something and it isn’t often that I shop at places that aren’t Gap Inc affiliated or Amazon. I like what I like and when possibly- I go for the classic, timeless option over trendy pieces.

I am Catholic and have grown closer in my faith in the past two years. I have always had faith but I didn’t always have a relationship with Him. Growing stronger in my faith has brought me so much strength, comfort and joy and gratitude.

Although you won’t find me dispensing advice on newborns or marriage- I love playing an active roll in the lives of my nieces and nephew. I love being their Auntie and it’s the best of both worlds- all the hugs, kisses, snuggles and spoiling but I get to sleep in late whenever I want.

Does anyone else cringe when asked “what are you into?” My hobbies have changed as my identity changed over time. In my life I have danced and acted-neither of which I do now. Hobbies as an adult look a lot like a short list of things you do when you aren’t sleeping or working. I enjoy writing, reading, listening to my favorite songs on repeat, going to concerts, day trips around New England, taking a long walks (location could be in the woods, beach or isle of Target) and enjoying good food and drinks with good company.
