On Thursday after work Matt and I went for a little date in the city. We grabbed sushi, and went to see Sam Beam from Iron & Wine play with Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses. it was a lovely show, and i still cannot believe we can just pop into the city WHENEVER. this jumpsuit is from last year, but it is sooo comfy,…
So, obviously J.Crew is usually expensive for us common folk. I worked there for years, and loved my discount, but since saying goodbye I know there’s a few times of year when it makes sense to shop! With their Fall items arriving, this week is PERFECT! Here’s some of my faves… 1. Everyone needs a good pair of brogues for Fall. 2. I have a…
So this girls got some ROOTS. If you thought my hair was this blonde, now you know… it is actually this color. I’d kill to have my natural color back these days, but am so so done with adding ANY dye into my hair. so it looks like i will have an ombre “my hair is in an awkward stage of color” look going on…
I am reading this inspirational book called “Get off your BUT” and it basically addresses ways to stop saying “I want to do X… BUT” with an excuse, fear, or reason behind why you won’t ever end up doing this thing. Well, I’ve been wanting to launch my YouTube channel for way too long, and this book was my launching pad. Matt works as a…
Lately, all I’ve been wearing are nautical patterns. I can’t decide if I feel like a sailor, or slightly french, but either way the outfit always looks classic. I love how easy it is to add a POP of red and call it a day! I’ve compiled a few summertime nautical pieces i’ve been lusting after. ♥ 1. This adorable anchor patterned pinafore is so…
hello 28th year of being alive! I celebrated all weekend with friends – on saturday we ran a color run 5K and then watched Thao with the get down stay down in prospect park. Sunday we had a BBQ at our apartment, and of course there was a fudgie the whale cake… because it isn’t a birthday party without one! I still cannot believe I…
There’s only 3 days left in my life as a 27-year-old and I must admit, these late twenties are MUCH easier than the early twenties, but also (in my opinion) much more strategic. my dad told me this year on his birthday that being in your 50’s feels like the 2nd half of a run. The first half is tough, and you try to find…
This upcoming Monday (July 13th) is my 28th birthday… It truly crept up on me. I cannot believe I am in my LATE twenties. I will write more about thoughts/ emotions later in the week, but I wanted to share my wishlist with you! Here’s some cute things that could fit perfectly in life! 1. I’ve needed a new record player for a while now,…
Hi there! I am back in my home, getting ready to go back to work tomorrow! My grandma used to say “nice to go away, nice to come home” and it really is true. It feels good to be in my bed, and I am actually excited to see my work friends tomorrow, and catch up! I am lucky to feel that way – I…
There is no question that life passes by quickly, but vacation is on fast forward! It feels like we just arrived, and we’re already heading home tomorrow. Oh how the passage of time is so bittersweet! Here’s some snapshots from the past few days… if you’re heading out to Martha’s Vineyard, two places to definitely check out are… 1. Lucky Hanks – the garden is…
There’s only two ways to snake your way onto this island… 1. fly 2. take a ferry we left our home at 6:30am, and made it onto the ferry by noon! It’s an easy journey from NY, and a wonderful weekend getaway! Have a Happy 4th of July Aeropostale cropped top Missguided skirt…
July 4th weekend has a feeling – the air is crisp and warm, american flags are prominent, the skies are blue and the days are beautifully long and filled with the smell of BBQ, sun tan lotion and insect repellent. MMMM, all my favorite smells. We’re off on our annual Marthas Vineyard family trip for the holiday, and I cannot WAIT for this vacation –…
I knew for a while that I wanted to get a tattoo for Claudie on my arm. Aside from my undying love for my doggie, I also love the design of doxies, and pretty much own everything dachshund that I can get my hands on. It was just a matter of letting the idea really sink in before going ahead with the tattoo. Matt found…
Yesterday Matt and I went into the city for the Uno de 50 event in Soho. It was literally a PERFECT evening, so beautiful outside and the event was on the most quaint block. I am like a kid in the candy store when I step foot into the city… living 50 minutes outside of it has helped me to avoid becoming jaded. The event…
and just like THAT it is in the 90’s, and it becomes oh so clear why i left Miami! 🙂 it is really hard to be cute in the heat! I think I’ve finally found my summer uniform… breathable tees paired with high waisted denim shorts. Maybe it isn’t groundbreaking, but some days when you just want to throw on something but still look cute,…
There is nowhere else I would rather be than in Brooklyn on a sunny day with miss claude! Sadly, this weekend is a rainy one but two of my best friends are visiting and I am off to NYC now! what are you guys up to? Xo Missguided dress ASOS bag Vintage headband Vintage shoes Ray Ban sunnies…
I am not usually an event kind of gal, but this one is too fun to pass up on – and it’s in the BEST part of the city! Come meet me and hangout next Wednesday night at the Unode50 event celebrating their new Fall campaign! Their campaign focuses on embracing who we are, and being okay with being guilty of being ourselves! All of…
I’ve been living in these glasses because tbh the computer in my eyes all day is taking its toll on me! It has been raining every day since this one, and it sounds so soothing out my window. It makes me want to blast Elliott Smith and Nick Drake all day, curl up in bed, and watch Orange is The New Black.. and that is…
This week has been extremely exciting, because I’ve been attending a social media summit in the city! It feels so great drinking a coffee on the train, and seeing the skyline appear as the train pulls into Penn Station. I know i see the world through “Steffy Vision” with an emphasis on the MAGIC and the SWEETS and the pretty COLORS, but the luster of…
longer length skirts have been my go-to lately because of the incessant wind near my house. it’s tough to wear hats and mini-skirts, my usuals staples! it has been a crazy few weeks, and i’ve gotta say being this age is WILD. between engagements, weddings and pregnancy announcements, it feels like grasping new realities is an everyday norm. i don’t know why, but to picture…
