Matt and I are travelers. If we could, we’d spend 100% of our time seeing the world. But traveling is expensive! Between gas, hotels or air bnb’s and food, it ends up costing more than day-to-day life. We’ve solved this problem with camping! It’s such a lovely way to take a weekend getaway, but not break the bank. We have a little 2-person tent, a…
I’m pretty predictable when it comes to the bottoms I choose to wear- high waisted skirts, yup. skinny jeans, yup. high-wasited maxi skirts, yup. but this fall i want to be more experimental, i am forcing myself to be! enter- these Joe B. NY Fit Bootcut Pants. how fun, guys??? such a laid back daytime look, but it’s also something different for me. i’m into…
Some places are more beautiful when the “season” ends – there’s a ton of those place in NY. It can be overwhelming finding a place to stay, parking or even getting into a restaurant to eat dinner in Montauk during the summer months. It has become a party destination, but it truly is so much more! It has such great campsites, beaches and hiking to…
I was debating whether to share this, but I decided it is something that has happened to me, so I am sure there’s others out there going through the same thing! A month or so ago, I was feeling EXHAUSTED. not like, I went to bed two hours too late because i binge watched Netflix last night exhausted. It was different – something felt off.…
Last night was my office holiday party! After work I helped setup, changed into a festive dress with bows, and had such a fabulous time. I’ve gotta say, I often think how lucky I am to know, and have known such incredible people. I feel so blessed to find good people who inspire me– the people who are movers and shakers. It truly is an…
confession: this is my very first tree. i guess i will call it a “holiday tree” since technically i don’t celebrate christmas (even though i do spend it with someone who does, usually). growing up, i was always in love with the festivities that go along with christmas, like the lights and the trees, and the coziness that christmas decorations bring to a home. matt…
before leaving to be with our family, matt and i spent thanksgiving morning together baking pancakes, playing monopoly and walking claudie on the boardwalk. it was a nice brisk day, and it even snowed a bit in the morning! i absolutely love mornings in our house, with candles lit and holiday music playing while i cook. it has this feeling to it, one that i…
thanksgiving has come so so soon. it feels like just yesterday that i was walking on lincoln road, outside of the J.Crew that i worked at, snapping these pictures. even the year before stands out vividly to me, when we had baby claude with us at dinner. this year is a little different, because we are far from our immediate families, but i will be…
it’s about that time when all my sparkle comes out. obviously sparkle is okay year round, but isn’t it more fun around the holidays? i haven’t even began to shop for gifts yet (phewwww) but i did get myself a gift – my very first monogrammed bag, EVER. and it has my new initials since i got married… and it’s gold! SFD, that’s me. Kate…
lately, colors and i have been going through somewhat of a rough patch. when i started this blog, i would wear every color (like here, here and here), but somewhere along the way i began to stick to mustard yellows, browns, navy blues and reds… those are my main four these days. BUT color is fun! so i jumped at the chance to own a…
Happy to report that we have officially moved in! Our kitchen will not be 100% done for another week or so, but we’re slowly unpacking and making it a home! The weather here has been AMAZING… 60 degrees, perfect for a sweater and jeans. I am not exactly a jeans girl, but lately they’ve been my go-to. sometimes it feels good to be THAT girl,…
so, this weekend was like… really cold for me. I remember a few years back I realized bloggers freeze a bit for outfit photos in the cold (unless every outfit has a jacket in it), and this was taste #1. It went a little bit like this… “shoot! did you get it? i’m freeeeezing. It’s good enough can’t take the cold”… and run back to…
Happy flippin’ Friday guys! sorry i’ve been a bit of a ghost, Matt was away for most of the week and it gets dark sooo early now! We snapped these before I went to work today! Lately I’ve been all about the cozy sweaters paired with skirts look, because I know soon it will be too cold for skirts! This vintage one is from last…
everything is so fleeting, but so beautiful at the same time. this weekend, as the plane was landing in new orleans, and i had T. Swift’s new cd in my ears I closed my eyes real tightly and said to myself “stay present, this weekend is going to be gone in a blink.” and then it was. every day on my drive to work i…
