lately i’ve been in a fashion slump. i’m sure you all know the feeling … usually when i go thrifting it inspires me, but lately i just haven’t had the time :(. i love feeling like i am being creative with what i put on every day, so not having the time to to-so as much is a bit disheartening, but bare with me! hopefully…
this weekend we drove upcoast to the tampa area to pick our wedding catering food. we literally tasted way more than our stomachs can handle. good thing i had this oversized sweater to cover up my food baby 🙂 matt named the raccoon rocky, but i named it woozy. i like my name better! after the tasting, we stopped by our wedding venue. here’s some…
happy saturday morning! i am at my parents house about to head upcoast for our wedding caterer tasting! couldn’t really be more excited about a roadtrip with matt and my parents!! here’s some photos of a walk at dusk with our cute girl. she doesn’t really understand how to play fetch… she is too selfish and never gives us back the stick! 🙂 i’ve never…
this was the weekend i wait for all year long… halloween weekend! it has this lovely feeling to it. usually the air is starting to feel cool, the christmas lights are starting to be put up and all of the best holidays are right around the corner! it is such a hopeful time of the year for me. and, it is really fun! matty and…
yesterday i spent the day at my parents house in my coziest new “vintage straight” jeans that i picked up this week. i was never open to loose fitting jeans, but i sort of love them. we started to stuff my wedding envelopes, and figure out more details for the bridal shower coming up! matt and i spent time with my brothers, had family dinner…
year # 3 at the little farm in homestead picking pumpkins with matty. every year i am shocked that i am still residing in miami (and that it is still 85 degrees at the end of october), but every year i am still really excited to be carrying on my moms tradition of carving a pumpkin! hopefully there’s only 1 more year left of “fake…
for me, layering a vintage sweater over a vintage blouse with a cute collar feels like back to basics. i am so happy to have found this combination again. sometimes it feels amazing to just ignore all trends and stick to what you feel most comfortable in 🙂 i finally had a chance to break away and thrift a few fall finds for myself, and…
brunch at the Beach Drive Inn ♥ these are the times in life i cherish. i’ve been in a life rut this week. the thing about life that i find silly is that the times we love and cherish the most happen the least. why can’t life be more about play and less about work? not that i don’t love work… but i just want…
this week, matt and i happened to have two days off together, so we decided to spontaneously roadtrip up to tampa and go to busch gardens! in our 4 years of dating, we have never been to a theme park together. can you believe that? it was so fun unwinding and going on rollercoasters all day. needless to say, planning a short getaway filled with…
i thrifted this cardigan on thursday with my mom and dad, and i have not taken it off since. it’s the PERFECT color. it’s the color i wake up and crave every single day in october and november. i think i might even wear it in my engagement photos! isn’t it funny how one $4 piece of clothing can make you soooooo excited? when i…
i spent the day with my mom yesterday working on some fun wedding DIY projects! i can’t wait to share some of them with you in the next day or so. i guess i am spoiling some of the “surprise” of my actual wedding, but it’s fun documenting the little things we’re working on along the way! i’ve been transitioning into wearing more jewel tones…
having a blog means always being “put together” or “dressed up” because in my life at least, if matty and i are spending a day together we are also usually taking outfit pictures at some point. it’s not that i am dressing up just for the blog, exactly, but it does add a little bit of pressure to not look sloppy or underdressed, because who…
hello and a happy monday to you. i just woke up and am going to go for a run before i head into work. i’ve been pushing myself to be less lazy and to run more, because it always makes me feel so good. much better than laying around for an hour before work lurking the internets 🙂 florida is finally feeling a little cooler…
some weeks, like this one, i work on the weekends and have 2 random weekdays off. i used to mind, but now i kind of like having peaceful days off where the thrift stores are empty, and i can run errands without lines 🙂 plus, matt’s schedule is always random and sometimes we get weekdays off together! like this tuesday! we spent the day thrifting…
happy almost monday from my little cozy bed in south beach, florida. i’m quite sleepy, but wanted to update the blog since it has been a minute! i had saturday off, and threw on this easy outfit to go read mags and drink tea on lincoln rd. i’ve been wearing my hair up in milkmaid braids and parting it in the center— just to change…
life thoughts this morning are: ♥ i am so excited to spend a day with my girlfriends today! ♥ it is almost october and my IG is starting to have pictures of pumpkin patches, but it is still 90 degrees here. i live in the wrong place. lol. ♥ i finished orange is the new black ALREADY. when is season 2 coming out? ♥ playing…
happy monday! i’ve been spending my afternoon watching orange is the new black. i am hooked. anyone watch? it’s been rainy lately and all i’ve been wanting to wear is white. lol. i’ve been wearing it with grey, with pops of color and i love it with red! i picked up this cozy tee at F21 and love how comfy and versatile it is! it’s…
here i am at the hotel all my wedding guests are going to be staying at! it’s quite the scenic place, with a sort of 1990’s vintage vibe, so it was fun to take these pictures there! there’s tons of trends i could live without, and i really wouldn’t call myself “trendy,” but i have to say i love this brocade trend that’s in this…
somewhere on pinterest i saw this color combination a few months back, and it just stuck in my head. i loved the idea of taking the “christmas colors” and giving them a whole new life! for some reason with a bit of mint and brown to balance out the two brights, the colors read totally differently. i’ve been craving this kelly green color, and can’t…
i wore this to work, and love how neutral the chambray on chambray is. it leaves room for a fun bag like this one! i love how my owl has a bow in her hair! matt met me (on foot) when i got off work, and we walked around the beach brainstorming ideas for an upcoming project we’re working on. we always have a 15…
