HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It’s my favorite day of the year, and I’m off to New Orleans to celebrate! I thrifted this vintage dress, took it in, and added the clown buttons! The rest of the costume (hat and nose) are from Amazon. Tonight I will be adding some face makeup and red to my hair! It’s fun to make costumes yourself, they come out more unique…
here’s a few more snaps from sunny Florida. don’t get to used to the bare skin, because Florida won’t be a destination for a long time now 🙂 i haven’t worn a bow tie in a while, so adding this vintage one made the look feel a little bit more “me”! i am off to New Orleans for a bachelorette party this weekend! it will…
this weekend i flew into FL to watch my college roommate get married. The saturday of her wedding we had a few hours to kill, and ended up going to a pumpkin patch! with october almost over, we realized that we’ve done literally zero fall activities. it’s funny because when we lived in florida we would do them ALL – carve pumpkins, bake pumpkin muffins/…
my weenie girl is back in my life! i have to tell you, dogs truly are a lifesaver. i read somewhere (probably on Bustle or Buzzfeed, or something) that life is GOING to feel lonely, because essentially no matter how many friends we have or how busy we are, we are alone. i agree. i am not sure if i have mentioned this before on…
life has been SO crazy lately, that i forgot to set my alarm and was late to work today. that NEVER happens to me. i woke up and it was light out – and i knew right away. OOPS. i am ready for the normalcy to return. is it sad that i am looking forward to boiling eggs for breakfast & making my salads for…
two of the toughest parts about being a “normal” kind of blogger like me are … 1. when your husband works different hours than you, it can be tough to take pictures (hence mini blogging break). it’s weird to ask anyone else to snap photos, and i feel weird being in them all the time to begin with! matt has been working hard, but we’ll…
… yes, i am a blogger. and yes, bloggers stereotypically love fall, and go on and on about how wonderful it is. but GUYS. this time last year I was here dressing like this. actually NEEDING tights and knee highs is a concept I’ve forgotten all about! it was in the 40’s on this day upstate – and i may have even been CHILLY! i…
until this weekend, i haven’t been to Washington D.C. since I was in my early teens. Matt was working a job nearby on Saturday, so i tagged along and explored the city by my lonesome all day. I was able to see the White House (fairly uneventful), stand inside the gorgeous Lincoln Memorial, and wander around Adams Morgan exploring vintage & coffee shops. Literally everyone…
who else shamelessly loves halloween? here’s how it goes for me. october 1st comes, and the skeleton, kitty and pumpkin colored things i own come out. i don’t care how many weird looks i get, or how many people tell me it’s “too soon.” i look forward to THESE 31 days all year!!! we’re already 3 days in… must take advantage of this time now!…
eiffel tower print: check adorable collar: check perfect chambray fabric: check!! literally the most perfect dress, which i wore for a day exploring montauk. we visited the lighthouse at the east most point, and sipped some vino on the bay after a day of exploring. i was so excited to share this outfit on Wear, which is a new “outfit posts” site similar to Chictopia and…
On Friday afternoon Matt and I caught the last glimpse of the sun from the boardwalk, before packing and getting ready for our roadtrip to Montauk. NY has redefined the meaning of “roadtrip” for us. We used to spend 5 hours driving places upcoast in Florida, spend about 29 hours in said destination before turning the car around and heading home. In NY, the entire…
NY vintage blogger meets Abbey road London 1969 is the look I was going for. I am not sure if i ever mentioned it, but The Beatles are my favorite band ever. when i hear them play, my heart beats two times the speed. i HAVE to sing along. i walked down the aisle on my wedding day to “i will,” and i’ve laughed and…
all typical fall “blogger things” aside (PSL’S, the leaves changing colors, crisp air, pumpkin scented candles), the fall SEASON has officially arrived. i will be enjoying all things listed above, but what i love most are the long beach sunrises and sunsets. You see, the road we live off of runs east to west, so the sun rises and sets directly at the end of…
some of my favorite memories are with my girlfriends. it’s so refreshing to have people to do fun silly things with, and that is what i did all day with my friend kelsea on saturday. she lives in this beautiful farmhouse meets vintage chic apartment in greenpoint, and we spent the day making pumpkin spice (recipe to come!) and watching reruns of the office at…
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…
… 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…
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,…
