Polka Dots & Northern California

It’s such a classic option to pack for vacation!  In celebration of my undying love for red lips and “Minnie Style” I’m excited to announce the launch of the @MinnieStyle Instagram account- follow along HERE. Red lips for life!  * This post…

Cozy in the Redwoods

We spent labor day wandering around the Redwoods, and it was breathtaking. It is so quiet as you walk around, and we didn’t see a single animal! The climate is so different from what we’re used to – dry and cool. It was refreshing, and perfect for bundling up all cozy. !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p =…

The Golden Gate Bridge & Aysen

After 1 canceled flight, we finally made it to San Francisco yesterday morning! I wanted to focus on traveling smart and light this trip, so i brought these jeans from Urban that I am OBSESSED WITH (slim fit, but also slouchy) and these Aysen shoes that I received last week and haven’t taken off since. They are genuine leather and hand crafted, and they feel…

Natural

After months of dying my hair, I finally decided to match my roots and go back to my natural hair color. I could NOT be more happy with my decision. I think that everyone is born with the hair color they are meant to have, and next time i try to dye my hair i am just going to remember that… Another perk of this…

A serious question for you:

To bangs or not to bangs? I was feeling my hair here, but 1 day later impulsively chopped some straight across fringe. A gal is indecisive!!! What do you guys think??

For every gal who ever wished they didn’t chop their locks…

If you have followed me through the years, you may remember my long wavy hair, and you also may remember when i chopped it. i get bored easily with my look, and i am constantly changing it. Since starting my blog I’ve even gone red twice (here and here). But behind all of these changes I feel the most like myself with long dirty blonde…

Nude & Free

The feeling of being free – truly free of worry, work stresses, life stresses, self-induced stresses- only happens when I am running, smiling ear-to-ear on a bike, in the midst of a yoga class or laying on a beach at sunset. But, there is one rare and beautiful place, a place that reminds me of my own inner hippie, the girl who drove a mint…

A love letter.

Key Lime Pie Date

This cute little spot in Red Hook is one of our summer favorites. I’ve gotta say, I totally understand why people reproduce… I imagine you love your kid like a thousand times more than you love your dog – but for now all I can compare it to is my love for Claude. AND, I just want to bring her with me EVERYWHERE, but so…

get off your BUT.

I am reading this inspirational book called “Get off your BUT” and it basically addresses ways to stop saying “I want to do X… BUT” with an excuse, fear, or reason behind why you won’t ever end up doing this thing. Well, I’ve been wanting to launch my YouTube channel for way too long, and this book was my launching pad. Matt works as a…

Birthday feelings & the best romper I’ve ever owned…

There’s only 3 days left in my life as a 27-year-old and I must admit, these late twenties are MUCH easier than the early twenties, but also (in my opinion) much more strategic. my dad told me this year on his birthday that being in your 50’s feels like the 2nd half of a run. The first half is tough, and you try to find…
