This week it finally got a bit chillier. I say finally because I am A FAN of 40 degree weather, it really allows you to have fun being creative in getting dressed! I have buttloads of vintage clothing (or vintage inspired dresses) that seemingly should be put away in 40 degree weather, but breaking the rules is fun, isn’t it? I love adding tights and…
So, the truth is that I haven’t really shared much about my work outside of blogging on here. I guess aside from personal privacy, I haven’t really felt like where I’ve worked has fit my “blog brand” .. if that is even a thing. It isn’t that I didn’t love where I worked or what I did, it’s just that my day-job never really made…
It has been so lovely outside – unseasonably warm, but I am not complaining! I didn’t even need a coat all weekend, which is absolutely wild! It’s about the time that I start searching for holiday gifts (I am always ahead of the game LOL) and this year I’ve found the perrrfect gift.. a printed tote/shirt/ whatever from YoShirt! I tested it out on myself…
Nothing pairs better with gorgeous, vibrant fall colors than a brown suede 70’s vibe skirt, like this one from Boohoo. The leaves are at their peak, and my eyes are MESMERIZED. We snapped these in Hudson, NY – It is about 3 hours upstate from where we live. Funny story – we drove up to camp, and at around 3AM, when I still could not…
Here’s some snaps of life right at this very moment. We’ve been sick and lounging around our unfinished home in between trips to Lowe’s. My dad also visited this weekend, and we took a ride around town in my aunt and uncles VW bus! It is also my last week working at the job I’ve been at for the past year and a half. Another…
It’s that time of the year when you want to do it ALL, but there’s never enough time before it’s freeeezing. we had a chance to sneak out east and pick apples, AND i baked a pie from scratch! it has been a very hectic week over here. our house is all packed up, and our POD arrives on saturday! hopefully we can get our…
the fall is our favorite time to explore all that NY has to offer – out east, upstate, long island .. there’s so many amazing towns all over the state just waiting to be discovered. cold spring is one of them! we spent the day trying out coffee shops and exploring antique shops and local businesses, like this adorable cold spring general store. matt picked…
So, i guess i have beat around the bush a little bit, mentioning little tidbits on instagram and snapchat, but we are moving… AGAIN! we’re not going far, just getting a place that has a bit more space. I wanted to make sure it was a sure thing before i shared, and now i can happily say it is, and we should be moving in…
Some would say Matt and I are crazy, because we are constantly on the go, doing and seeing new things, but we don’t mind a drive in order to explore! They say it’s more about the journey than the destination, and that’s my favorite part about roadtrips! The lighthouse was the icing on the cake, but the trip to Montauk, stopping at farmstands along the…
Black legging jeans paired with black pointy boots make my legs feel a million miles long (longer than they actually are, at least!) It is always one of my go-to looks in the Fall/Winter months, and these True Religion jeans are so comfortable to boot. The Highline is one of my favorite places to relax (& snap photos) in NYC – it’s my “runway” of…
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.…
This week is rain, rain and more rain, so I am going to be bold and say this post signifies the END of summer. happyface. i like colder weather, so I am not complaining. I just cannot decide if an ice cream clutch works when you’re bundled up sipping hot chocolate! Glad I could take it out on an afternoon walk so it had its…
When all else fails… we go to the Laurel Diner. I can’t even list how many dinners I’ve had for breakfast, and breakfasts I’ve had for dinner at this place. Now that pumpkin is ALL THE RAGE, I had to try their pumpkin muffin and break my sweets ban temporarily. I almost want to keep logs of Matt and I’s conversations here year-to-year, I am…
Since before I can remember, I’ve been one of those people who lived on sugar. It made me happy, it made me nostalgic and it was integrated into part of who i was – so much so that my instagram description even said “sweets lover!” Well, a month or so ago, I decided I wanted to make a big change, and cut out sweets. Obviously…
the 1970’s are back, and i couldn’t be more thrilled. it is by far the decade that influences both my personal style and my decorating style the most! mini-skirts, rust colors, loafers… my dreams coming true. I’ve compiled a little wishlist of some of my favorite 70’s inspired items… 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8…
The 70’s are back, and you don’t see me complaining. I can remember my mom wearing skirts like this when I was little, because she literally never throws away her clothing and she continued to wear it through the decades. Now I own one – funny how that works. Have a lovely weekend, TGIF working gals! Make sure to follow my weekend adventures in instagram…
NYC is my favorite place in the entire world. when i close my eyes and think about where i would want to be on a day off, or a vacation, i would pick it every time. it is THE ONE. It’s not that i don’t love other places, because I do. San Francisco was beautiful and calm and scenic. But i think me and NYC…
