i figured i would blog tonight before i check out into “work disappearance” with holiday rollout this week! my grandma side is coming out, as i turn off all my lights and go to sleep at 8pm tonight. hello 4:30am alarm clock! i wore this on my day off to go thrifting last week. nothing too crazy, although i have been into this red eye…
i lead a simple life, and simple things make me happy. i think sometimes when you have a blog, and you attend events, and you begin posting fabulous photos taken on expensive lenses of your perfectly planned out outfits, your life can start to look a little bit glossy. but here is my reality– i live in a small 1 bedroom home on south beach.…
hello vintage, it’s me steffy. i am back to wearing you! i finally had a chance to thrift this past week, and am so over the moon to be wearing some new fun fall vintage staples! i am so busy with wedding planning that i won’t be selling any of it (yet), but after the wedding i will add a big listing to my store!…
matt sent me this really interesting article written by isabel slone titled “fashion blogging is dead.” isabel used to write the blog hipster musings at the beginning of the fashion blogger era and i used to read her blog back in the day. anyway, i thought it was a really great article with strong points, and it made me deeply think / wonder why i…
this week was funny (but not really). we realized after our caterer tasting last weekend that we had no idea which vendor provides our plates/glassware. after we inquired, we were told the plates would be stacked near the buffet table, and the dinner tables would be left not set. wellllllll. 🙂 so after talks with the caterer and the venue, we decided we definitely wanted…
lately i’ve been in a fashion slump. i’m sure you all know the feeling … usually when i go thrifting it inspires me, but lately i just haven’t had the time :(. i love feeling like i am being creative with what i put on every day, so not having the time to to-so as much is a bit disheartening, but bare with me! hopefully…
this weekend we drove upcoast to the tampa area to pick our wedding catering food. we literally tasted way more than our stomachs can handle. good thing i had this oversized sweater to cover up my food baby 🙂 matt named the raccoon rocky, but i named it woozy. i like my name better! after the tasting, we stopped by our wedding venue. here’s some…
matt is one of my biggest inspirations, but this time he has outdone himself! i came along on a shoot for a new project he is working on called “the fare field” and found myself asking (actually, begging) if i could come along on the rest of the shoots! he is working with emily codik, food critic for the miami new times and muriel, a…
happy saturday morning! i am at my parents house about to head upcoast for our wedding caterer tasting! couldn’t really be more excited about a roadtrip with matt and my parents!! here’s some photos of a walk at dusk with our cute girl. she doesn’t really understand how to play fetch… she is too selfish and never gives us back the stick! 🙂 i’ve never…
what can we say, claude inspires us 🙂 we dressed up like weenies and went to the lincoln road street parade with some friends! it was a grand ole’ time! hope you all had a great holiday!!!! xo…
this was the weekend i wait for all year long… halloween weekend! it has this lovely feeling to it. usually the air is starting to feel cool, the christmas lights are starting to be put up and all of the best holidays are right around the corner! it is such a hopeful time of the year for me. and, it is really fun! matty and…
yesterday i spent the day at my parents house in my coziest new “vintage straight” jeans that i picked up this week. i was never open to loose fitting jeans, but i sort of love them. we started to stuff my wedding envelopes, and figure out more details for the bridal shower coming up! matt and i spent time with my brothers, had family dinner…
year # 3 at the little farm in homestead picking pumpkins with matty. every year i am shocked that i am still residing in miami (and that it is still 85 degrees at the end of october), but every year i am still really excited to be carrying on my moms tradition of carving a pumpkin! hopefully there’s only 1 more year left of “fake…
for me, layering a vintage sweater over a vintage blouse with a cute collar feels like back to basics. i am so happy to have found this combination again. sometimes it feels amazing to just ignore all trends and stick to what you feel most comfortable in 🙂 i finally had a chance to break away and thrift a few fall finds for myself, and…
theknot.com says that at 3 months until the big day wedding invites should be sent out. that leaves me with only about 25 days until i have to send out my invitations 🙂 i know, it is coming up so quickly!! I had not put too much thought into how i wanted to address my invitations, but you bet now i am. at first i…
brunch at the Beach Drive Inn ♥ these are the times in life i cherish. i’ve been in a life rut this week. the thing about life that i find silly is that the times we love and cherish the most happen the least. why can’t life be more about play and less about work? not that i don’t love work… but i just want…
this week, matt and i happened to have two days off together, so we decided to spontaneously roadtrip up to tampa and go to busch gardens! in our 4 years of dating, we have never been to a theme park together. can you believe that? it was so fun unwinding and going on rollercoasters all day. needless to say, planning a short getaway filled with…
i want to add as many special touches to our big day as i can, but i also don’t want to overwhelm myself. when i saw these cute little diy pillows, i knew i had to make a bunch to add on the chairs at the reception! they are such a special touch, and i love that my guests will feel the love i put…
the most fun part of having a distinct personal style is that your friends and family see things and then think of you! it really makes me feel like people know me when they can tell the items that i am going to love before i even see them 🙂 when we were doing rollout at work on monday my cute assistant said “steffy it’s…
i thrifted this cardigan on thursday with my mom and dad, and i have not taken it off since. it’s the PERFECT color. it’s the color i wake up and crave every single day in october and november. i think i might even wear it in my engagement photos! isn’t it funny how one $4 piece of clothing can make you soooooo excited? when i…
