a sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what she could see see see.

just WOW. miami has been full of meaningful things to do, and i am just soaking it all in. these were taken on saturday– we went to the street fair in our neighborhood. i spent all my money on: a. marshmallow sprinkle pops b. iced coffee c. holding a boa constrictor and having my picture taken with it. shows a bit about my character, huh?…

if you want to be free, be free.

when i was growing up, my walls were bubblegum pink with giant white polka dots. i drove a VW beetle with pink and white polka dotted fabric all over the dashboard, AND i had a vintage skirt to match. to this day, when i see something with polka dots i go a little crazy for it. if i lived alone, i promise you i would…

you only live a day, but it’s brilliant anyway.

hello friends! it was a brilliant weekend here in steffy land! i spent most of it in a weird silly/ giddy state, goofing off with my two favorite guys– my dad and my matt! we saw wanderlust, ate yummy mexi salads at el jefe luchador, and on sunday matty even thrifted with me (and i think he enjoyed it!). i wore this to the eye…

a swan-Y dress!

so i am going to let you all in on a little secret. i wear glasses in EVERY post not because i think they are cute (i mean i do, but…) but because i have this eye infection that i just can’t kick! i think it is silly because i’ve been wearing the glasses so much that they have turned into my signature. in class…

a house in the woods.

as far as dreams go, one of my biggest dreams is to live in a house in the woods with a backyard. i know some people think the tropics are beautiful, but my idea of beauty is a deserted road in the middle of the wilderness. i think snow and the fall and trees without leaves are SO pretty. i’m jealous of all you cuties…

i could just go on and on about: a) how being here makes me appreciate things like.. AC, non-freezing showers, job opportunity, etc.. the things we take for granted b) how all of those things don’t matter at all really… because there are so many incredible people who are happy without them but instead i’m just going to say that being in nicaragua reminds me…
