the other day i heard joni mitchell’s “big yellow taxi,” and i actually listened to the lyrics. it was on my morning drive to work, when the sun has that incredible yellow tinted sun flare, and the world just seems to stand still. and i heard… They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum then they charged the people a dollar…
some of my friends have a thing against the winky face. they feel like it is creepy/ too forward/ an unnecessary emoji to ever use in the realm of normal everyday texting. well you know what? i am embracing the winky face. i think he’s cute, especially on a polka dotted sweater! what do you think? sweater: Boutique Onze shorts: vintage bag: vintage – grey…
this weather has been TO DIE FOR. we have been really indulging in how close we live to NYC, and we’ve been air B n Bing it (we gave the site another chance). this weekend we stayed in chinatown at this adorable apartment, and got to enjoy a lovely 50 degree stroll home from a party we went to saturday night. i just LOVE walking…
days are passing, hairs are growing, seasons are changing. without thinking too much about it i have been saying farewell to month after month. 2014, where have you gone? i found this dress at a thrift store this weekend. i’ve seen many like it, but something about the shape of this one drew me to it. i was on the fence on whether it was…
This weekend i learned a lot of life lessons. some of them big, some of them small, some of them silly. 1. be wary of air b and b. we used it this weekend and ended up in an awful railroad apartment with tons of random people(we ended up staying at a friends). we are trying to battle it out for a refund, but are…
… that i bring out all of my plaid. the way i look at it is – there’s 4 months in the year to get away with it. i am ready to embrace it! i’ve been testing out new lengths, and am loving the look of dresses/ skirts that cut right before the ankle. i think it will be my staple this season, as opposed…
I wish I could tell you how lovely the fall weather is, and how perfectly crisp the air is all day, but the truth is it’s only “fall-esque” until about 10am. We woke up early to pick apples (which i had never done before!!) and it was gorgeous out… until we walked one too many hills and the knee highs made me a little overheated.…
Matt and I collaborated with Levi’s and Lookbook to be one of the first people to post on Lookbook.nu with their husband/ BF/ best friend! It was really amazing (for me) because it was an excuse to get my guy to be in blog photos with me. he hasn’t been on here in a while, has he? Matt and I are huge fans of Levi’s,…
here’s the thing about blogging– it takes any self criticism that we all have from the voice in our head, and it triples it. i like myself, i really do (i think i am sort of funny, and the right amount of weird) but that definitely does not mean that i don’t harbor a great deal of insecurity. and lately the blog just does not…
i see the world in colors. i know it seems obscure, but after being in art school for so many years everything is just a negative and positive space with very distinguished color. my preference is of course warm colors, and to be in places where the light feels fuzzy and orange. i am convinced that is why i subliminally prefer to be in the…
last nights beautiful hazy walk on the boardwalk to eat dinner at my cousins house. every day i stop and just think “wow, i am lucky.” it is really so pretty here. it has been cooling off at night, so it was the perfect opportunity to wear these 90s style quirky high waisted pants from H&M that make me feel like Michael Jackson. they are…
Who is ready for fall, and who is okay with summer? For once in my life, I don’t really mind if the summer stays a little longer. Summer here means… – perfect 70 degree days – sunshine, especially at this magical hour of the evening – weekend adventures – some layers, but not a definite need for pants or tights what could really be better?…
exploring our new home in NY with our friend tony. good thing we all love photography, and we each bring along a camera. nobody ever captures matt and i, so here’s a few! photos by Tony Wilde…
there’s this one street in marthas vineyard behind my parents house that i see when i close my eyes and am in a meditative state. on days when i am really tired, or extraordinarily relaxed i can see myself walking toward the sunshine on this particular street and it is later in the day. I am passing the overflowing pink flowers and the white picket…
Hello from Martha’s Vineyard! We travel here every year for family vacation, you can see past years here, here, here and here. I realized this year that it’s actually been twenty years since I began to come here. Time is flying by! I am absolutely smitten by this vintage floral dress; in my mind it is the perfect “vacation” dress to throw on. and the back…
Even though I have lived in NY 3 times before this (til’ I was 8, in college and after college) I never had a car here. It’s been really fun actually learning my way around more than just manhattan, and realizing how the suburbs connect to one another. My dad grew up in Rockaway Beach, so we decided to check it out last night for…
There’s two mentalities with vintage hunters: 1. keep your go-to places top secret. 2. bask in the excitement of sharing them. In miami there was not that much vintage to go around, so of course i had my secret spots 😉 in NYC, i don’t think we’ll be running out of vintage anytime soon. So here is my Brooklyn and NYC vintage guide Part 1;…
It hasn’t quite sunk in yet that I can hop in my car and drive to anywhere in NY, including my favorite vintage shop in Brooklyn, Urban Jungle. NYC Vintage and Brooklyn vintage is my favorite; a gold mine. Just to prove that I could, we spent an afternoon thrifting in Brooklyn and wandering around. LIVING HERE IS SURREAL GUYS. I am not sure when…
I am so excited to have finally found some time to update my store! I also added tons of new items to the sale section! Click on over… !…
