so i am on a band of horses kick. general specific is the best song EVER. it just makes me dance, those songs are the best ones! i went and saw cat power last night, and am basically just on a music high lately. good shows are coming, good music is on the j.crew soundtrack & i’m happy! i’ve been inspired by tieka’s beautiful fall posts,…
hello fellow fashion lovers 🙂 i wore this to work the other day even though i felt it may be too “vintage” for j.crew’s taste. i absolutely adore the festive pattern of the skirt, and the cobalt blue sweater makes every outfit more “fall.” i was giggling with a customer yesterday over whether or not fall colors and fall “fashion rules” apply to us here…
just matt, his film camera and i at dusk in downtown miami. we caught up over a shared bread bowl of clam chowder and some pasta after followed by some cocktails at our favorite local bar. for work i usually dress preppy, so on my down time i have been loving a little bit of black, grunge and studs. i loved the contrast of the…
hi hi hi! writing this at midnight after work because HEY my time has been limited these days! pulling off a “clopen”today … a close to open. i love working non-stop, it feels so good. making up for lost time with matt tonight on a fun little date night, and there’s my life in a nut shell. these are from orlando, wearing my FAVORITE favorite…
around-the-house i love to wear knee highs and my favorite dresses. i have been enjoying my cozy time in bed drinking coffee extra amounts these days. i can’t wait til’ i can actually drink hot coffee outside while wearing knee highs. only a month or so until florida gets chilly 🙂 off to grab my morning coffee now! have a happy thursday! outfit 1: dress:…
here’s some snaps from orlando 🙂 50’s diners, milkshakes, friends and of course pretty blouses with pretty collars were all present. have a lovely wednesday! shorts: for sale in my store blouse: c/o lalamagic necklace: francesca’s collections shoes: vintage bag: handbag heaven…
for most of my existence i swore off the color black in my wardrobe, but lately i have been craving it. i found the skirt last week and wore this around all day and then simply changed my top to something more formal to go into work. it is such a versatile piece. as far as the sweater… i just can’t hide it. i’m the…
these amaaazing polka dotted pants came in the mail from motel rocks yesterday, and i immediately put them on. i swear i’ve never loved pants even close to as much. They are perfectly high waisted and stretchy enough to be cozy. it’s been getting down to the 70s at night (i know, “SO COLD”) but i am a big baby and always wear fall clothes anyway…
here’s a peek at my last day in new york. there was surfing, brunch foods & of course my aunts 50th birthday celebration. it was amazing being all together again as a family. i have 13 cousins, so you can only imagine.. 🙂 rowdy, dysfunctional, silly new yorkers all in one room. AND my cute 83-year-old grandma came too, all dressed up in a baby…
just a few snapshots of a day spent with my guy in the place i want to live the most, long beach NY. boardwalk + diner + the leaves changing colors. (!!!) i got this french hen sweater from work ( also got the socks to match) and wore it for a few days straight. it is just so cozy and provides the perfect amount…
in the scheme of it all, i think all of my best days were spent in nyc. especially when it is sweater weather! had one of those days where i squeezed all of my favorite things in— thrifting, coffee, shopping and wandering the streets with bonnie and gaby. bonnie brought us to this cute little spot called saturdays where you can sip delicious iced coffee…
happy friday 🙂 i’ve been counting down til’ this one, because i am in nyc! i packed all my favorite sweaters that i’ve been saving up, and will be surrounded by loved ones for days straight. i feel so lucky. here’s one of my favorite outfits lately. Since it is still hot in florida i feel a little out of place in fall colors, so…
who feels like wearing red plaid? apparently matt and i do 🙂 we got sushi with his mom and accidentally matched. d’aww. today is my portfolio review at school, which means this is the end of school. i feel really weird that school is ending (even though i am 25 and this is my second degree)… it went by so quickly. and i honestly had…
this weekend we did one of our favorite things ever, we got in the car and drove. matt surfed, i thrifted, and we were both just happy. there’s nothing better than being on the road, singing out loud to tunes and finding reeeeeally weird thrift stores in small towns that bring the prettiest vintage in the world into my arms. i wore this comfortable outfit…
happy happy friday! this is the first day i’ve had to just relax in a while. i’m thinking back-to-back office episodes and a pumpkin spice iced coffee are on the agenda? i am SO happy the pumpkin latte is back, AND yesterday morning i even had the windows down in my car with nick drake playing, and it was only in the 80’s. it seems…
so matt is back 🙂 i wore this yesterday for a little outing around town. we grabbed some groceries and i cooked japanese lettuce wraps. they came out so yummy, and they were pretty easy to make! i’ve been saving these shorts for most of the summer, mainly just to look at and think how pretty they are. i’ve worn them one other time, and…
wearing a cute little animal printed collar so I figured i would boast about my favvvorite animal friend. i call her “building kitty” because she lives around my building. she even lets me pet her, and i sneak her food sometimes 🙂 i’ve been working 9 hour days + extra on my store stuff so i am one tired girl over here. til’ midnight last…
as luck would have it, the day i planned my final photo shoot for school ended up being the day hurricane isaac was the craziest. luckily my model was my friend leah, and my photog was (of course) matt, so we made the trek to the 11th street diner to shoot! i have to say, the whole experience was really inspiring! i wanted to add…
i have a love for dreary days, so i threw on my coziest sweater (that i’ve been saving all summer for a day like this), and matt and i did fun things on the first day of hurricane isaac. we went thrifting, sifted through old records and then grabbed ice cream with my brother. luckily it wasn’t really raining yet, it was overcast and the…
