1. Cream: I haven’t been eating sweets lately, but I made an exception for this place. You get to pick your own cookie flavor from a long list of options, and then pick the ice cream flavor you like most along with toppings. It’s adorable AND tastes amazing. 2. La Taqueria: DELICIOUS local joint with on of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The avocado…
NYC is my favorite place in the entire world. when i close my eyes and think about where i would want to be on a day off, or a vacation, i would pick it every time. it is THE ONE. It’s not that i don’t love other places, because I do. San Francisco was beautiful and calm and scenic. But i think me and NYC…
Just a fun day wandering around San Francisco feeling a little like Minnie Mouse in my timeless go-to – dots and red lips! It’s such a classic option to pack for vacation! In celebration of my undying love for red lips and “Minnie Style” I’m excited to announce the launch of the @MinnieStyle Instagram account- follow along HERE. Red lips for life! * This post…
We spent labor day wandering around the Redwoods, and it was breathtaking. It is so quiet as you walk around, and we didn’t see a single animal! The climate is so different from what we’re used to – dry and cool. It was refreshing, and perfect for bundling up all cozy. !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p =…
After 1 canceled flight, we finally made it to San Francisco yesterday morning! I wanted to focus on traveling smart and light this trip, so i brought these jeans from Urban that I am OBSESSED WITH (slim fit, but also slouchy) and these Aysen shoes that I received last week and haven’t taken off since. They are genuine leather and hand crafted, and they feel…
After an INSANELY hectic week of my full-time job paired with the stresses that go into buying a house paired with blog work, i am super excited to be headed off to san francisco for the next few days! we’re visiting our best friends and exploring the city! I’ve only been once when I was 14, so any tips on places to go are much…
A place really begins to feel like home when you form set routines. It’s tough to make those happen during the week when most of my time is spent at work, but on Saturday every single week matt and I grab coffee at gentle brew and catch up on the week. it’s something so simple, but seeing the familiar faces of people who work there…
It’s September on tuesday and I am in disbelief. This summer came and went – but I’m not complaining, i love the chillier months. We’re going on a trip to San Francisco at the end of the week while simultaneously preparing for our big move (down the block lol) next month, so things have been chaotic around here. the mornings have been NEW LEVEL BEAUTIFUL,…
After months of dying my hair, I finally decided to match my roots and go back to my natural hair color. I could NOT be more happy with my decision. I think that everyone is born with the hair color they are meant to have, and next time i try to dye my hair i am just going to remember that… Another perk of this…
With Fall right around the corner (it isn’t in NY yet! maybe only in the mornings and evenings?) I’ve been thinking about what I truly need this year. I’ve been slowly clearing my closet of extras that I don’t get around to wearing often, and focusing on high quality staples. For this Fall, I’ve been obsessed with high quality denim & big chunky knit hats…
Today we spent some time in the north fork, which is out East near Montauk. They have some amazing wineries and farm stands, and everything is so adorable i just couldn’t stop snapping pictures (i have sooo many more!) almost everything is dog friendly as well! We just ordered a new wider lens, so be ready for tons more pictures. We’re going to try focusing…
To bangs or not to bangs? I was feeling my hair here, but 1 day later impulsively chopped some straight across fringe. A gal is indecisive!!! What do you guys think??

I didn’t mean to take a 1 week hiatus, but I was at a family reunion for Matt’s side of the family. We were all staying in a big, weird, creepy, awesome and scenic (yes, it was all of those things!) home in upstate NY. It had no phone service, and I packed 1 duffle bag and pretty much wore the same denim cutoffs the…
If you have followed me through the years, you may remember my long wavy hair, and you also may remember when i chopped it. i get bored easily with my look, and i am constantly changing it. Since starting my blog I’ve even gone red twice (here and here). But behind all of these changes I feel the most like myself with long dirty blonde…
I always run out of space on my phone. it kills me! but Google just came out with a new app, Google Photos, that increases the amount of photos you can store tremendously AND it has an incredible search feature. I hate having to scroll through a years worth of photos when trying to find Claude puppy pics or wedding pics- but with this app,…
The feeling of being free – truly free of worry, work stresses, life stresses, self-induced stresses- only happens when I am running, smiling ear-to-ear on a bike, in the midst of a yoga class or laying on a beach at sunset. But, there is one rare and beautiful place, a place that reminds me of my own inner hippie, the girl who drove a mint…
when matt and i first started to date, we were long distance. we spent december 2009 thru july of 2010 living thousands of miles apart, and it sucked. i dreamed of the day when i would have him by my side everywhere, every night, every second. then it happened! i was thrilled! but only for a short period of time – he is a freelancer…
one year ago today, matt and i showed up in NY after driving for two days straight with our entire lives in a U-Haul. I had a new job that I didn’t start yet, he had one work contact for his freelance business, we were in contract for our apartment (but it wasn’t a done deal yet) and our lives could have gone in a…
This cute little spot in Red Hook is one of our summer favorites. I’ve gotta say, I totally understand why people reproduce… I imagine you love your kid like a thousand times more than you love your dog – but for now all I can compare it to is my love for Claude. AND, I just want to bring her with me EVERYWHERE, but so…
So, this might be a shock BUT we’re selling our condo! It’s my favorite place in the universe, so we aren’t moving far, maybe just a block or two away. Cannot wait to share this little journey with you! P.S. Loving this sweet little number from Unique Vintage! !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb…
