i spent the day with my mom yesterday working on some fun wedding DIY projects! i can’t wait to share some of them with you in the next day or so. i guess i am spoiling some of the “surprise” of my actual wedding, but it’s fun documenting the little things we’re working on along the way! i’ve been transitioning into wearing more jewel tones…
having a blog means always being “put together” or “dressed up” because in my life at least, if matty and i are spending a day together we are also usually taking outfit pictures at some point. it’s not that i am dressing up just for the blog, exactly, but it does add a little bit of pressure to not look sloppy or underdressed, because who…
hello and a happy monday to you. i just woke up and am going to go for a run before i head into work. i’ve been pushing myself to be less lazy and to run more, because it always makes me feel so good. much better than laying around for an hour before work lurking the internets 🙂 florida is finally feeling a little cooler…
here is my recipe for homemade calzones! I use a basic pizza dough recipe that i’ve been using for years. This would make about 10 calzones, give or take. 4 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour 1 3/4 tsp salt 1 tsp instant yeast 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 3/4 C cold H2O 1. stir flour, salt, yeast in bowl or mixer to…
some weeks, like this one, i work on the weekends and have 2 random weekdays off. i used to mind, but now i kind of like having peaceful days off where the thrift stores are empty, and i can run errands without lines 🙂 plus, matt’s schedule is always random and sometimes we get weekdays off together! like this tuesday! we spent the day thrifting…
happy almost monday from my little cozy bed in south beach, florida. i’m quite sleepy, but wanted to update the blog since it has been a minute! i had saturday off, and threw on this easy outfit to go read mags and drink tea on lincoln rd. i’ve been wearing my hair up in milkmaid braids and parting it in the center— just to change…
life thoughts this morning are: ♥ i am so excited to spend a day with my girlfriends today! ♥ it is almost october and my IG is starting to have pictures of pumpkin patches, but it is still 90 degrees here. i live in the wrong place. lol. ♥ i finished orange is the new black ALREADY. when is season 2 coming out? ♥ playing…
happy monday! i’ve been spending my afternoon watching orange is the new black. i am hooked. anyone watch? it’s been rainy lately and all i’ve been wanting to wear is white. lol. i’ve been wearing it with grey, with pops of color and i love it with red! i picked up this cozy tee at F21 and love how comfy and versatile it is! it’s…
here i am at the hotel all my wedding guests are going to be staying at! it’s quite the scenic place, with a sort of 1990’s vintage vibe, so it was fun to take these pictures there! there’s tons of trends i could live without, and i really wouldn’t call myself “trendy,” but i have to say i love this brocade trend that’s in this…
this past weekend i made the 4 hour trek to the city i am getting married in with my future in-laws, my parents and my maid of honor (matt had to work 🙁 ). when you choose to get married a few hours away, you have to stack every possible wedding appointment into the same day— and that’s exactly what we did! we didn’t even…
happy friday night! i am off to spend a weekend with my family planning my wedding! i wore this on my day off this week for a south beach stroll with matt! we walked down new streets and found some new places to eat that we can’t wait to try! i thrifted these shorts a few years back, but don’t think i have posted them…
somewhere on pinterest i saw this color combination a few months back, and it just stuck in my head. i loved the idea of taking the “christmas colors” and giving them a whole new life! for some reason with a bit of mint and brown to balance out the two brights, the colors read totally differently. i’ve been craving this kelly green color, and can’t…
i wore this to work, and love how neutral the chambray on chambray is. it leaves room for a fun bag like this one! i love how my owl has a bow in her hair! matt met me (on foot) when i got off work, and we walked around the beach brainstorming ideas for an upcoming project we’re working on. we always have a 15…
I heard about this dish, and wanted to give it a try since i love pasta but wanted something a little lighter for a weeknight meal. I took a jar of bolognese sauce that i had frozen, i make it in big batches and save the rest for easy meals. I’ve been searching for the perfect bolognese recipe for years and i’ve cooked it a…
internet, meet one of my oldest friends courtney! she lives in LA, but was visiting this past weekend. she probably knows me better than anyone else in the world (except my other best friend lacey), and it was lovely being able to go to brunch and share old stories & a few new ones. whenever i see old friends, it just reminds me how the…
our wedding is getting closer (only 6 months, can you believe it!?) and i thought i would start to share weekly updates for anyone else who is planning a wedding out there. PLUS, i need your help. i’ve never planned a party this important before, so it will be fun to hear your feedback and advice about planning your own weddings! i got the idea…
we’re now officially locals, because we brought our bikes to the beach. they were in storage for a few months! i’ve been getting to know south beach in a whole different way, learning mini side streets and stopping into little local grocers along the way. there’s something special about having the bikes — it means we’re here to stay. it’s such a great city to…
i’m not much of a jewelry fanatic, but sometimes when you gotta have something, you gotta have something. i am still figuring out how to wear such big earrings, but i loved pulling out the pops of mint from the stones with this cute vintage top 🙂 ! i am off to go to yoga, and then i am getting lunch with one of my…
you know how sometimes you put on an outfit and feel like a million bucks? you open up your closet and the perfect outfit just jumps out at you… that was this day! i didn’t even change once! these two colors are perfect together, and pinafore skirts are my new go-to! i love pairing something trendy and new with all vintage items, it’s a beautiful…
so matt and i coincidentally matched wearing cat attire today. awkward 🙂 we don’t even own a cat, but i guess that’s the beauty of it! if we wore clothing with weenie dogs allover, would we be even weirder? idk… i wore this after i got off work, i always change into more comfortable clothes after work. then matt and i shopped around to find…
