i must confess, t-shirts are not my favorite article of clothing to wear, and they make me feel really lazy when i wear them. until… the invention of the donut t-shirt. for a sweets obsessed maniac like myself, this one was a no brainer. with the arrival of the springtime and the florida heat, i have been pulling out all the fun colors that i…
the past hour has sent this day in a downhill spiral, but i know that days like this just happen. i was exiting a parking garage in coconut grove after a lovely and relaxing hour and a half yoga class, and i was unaware that my two hour parking limit was up. the grumpy man in the parking garage told me i owed $1.50, and…
if we’re going to go for a sunset ride on a sailboat, i guess i have to wear a nautical style outfit ?! 🙂 our friend works on a sailboat in key west and invited us. it was just lovely– sipping red wine as the sun went down. i am still figuring out my new haircut, but realized i can still wear a beehive! it…
cutting all of my hair off has been on my mind for a while, but i wanted to get married with long hair. on friday i made a spontaneous hair appointment and left with about ten inches of my hair gone! it feels amazing, and it is wonderful for beating the heat. i will probably add a few highlights soon, and keep it this length…
from the second we got claude, we couldn’t resist weenie dog things. kitchen towels, envelope holders, coffee mugs (basically everything dachshund anthro released last year), kate spade weenie plates, a thrifted statue and now this pattern. i just love her so much, and i love things that make me think of her. this shirt and i, we were meant to be. do you collect anything?…
hello and happy 14 minutes into monday! it’s a big day for me, as it’s the first day at my new job! i read this lovely quote that said “new beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.” — change is hard, and scary but such a beautiful way to grow. i wore this for a day of party planning and coordinating, because i threw matt…
we spent matts birthday at the beach in lahinch, a tiny surf town, because surfing is his favorite thing and surfing in ireland was one of his dreams. it was a gorgeous overcast day that was not too chilly, and i felt like being a cozy beach bum! i snagged this sweater from the GAP, and loved it so much i bought it in two…
i scored this vintage gem skirt right before i left, and knew it would be joining me on this trip. everything about the pattern makes my eyes light up– i would decorate every couch in my house (if i had more than 1 couch) with it, that’s how much i love it. the north and west of ireland are surprisingly a bit warmer, and the…
i am not the type of girl who can just throw on sweats and sneaks and go for a hike– because matt and i love to shoot photographs along the way, and i like to wear fabulous vintage in these photos. i wouldn’t exactly consider myself “high-maintenance” because i’m okay with outdoors-y activities and i never mind breaking a little sweat, but i just have…
we are here! we’ve already explored the beautiful city of dublin, and are now making our way into northern ireland, staying at bed and breakfasts’ along the way. a few memorable stops in dublin included: ♥ harlequin vintage shop / lucy’s lounge vintage shop- vintage shops are so different in ireland, they are an experience here filled with magic & hand selected pieces! ♥ oil…
my nyc days are years behind me, and i am the first to admit, i am a little rusty. the constant growth and change in the city is tiring to keep up with, and i am extremely lucky to have friends who are still residing in the bubble who can guide me on my visits! my friend ella played tour guide for matt and i,…
new york city is as beautiful as i remember. so many months have passed since my last visit, but the city and i always pick right back up where we left off. nothing makes me feel more alive than walking around with the brisk cold air against my face. we spent our first day walking down streets we’ve never explored, seeing old faces, eating peruvian…
i am so very tired. i am not going to sugarcoat it, working any variety of a retail job can wear you out. i’m sure many of you can attest to that, since a majority of retail workers are girls who drool over clothing, sell it all day, and then go home and read blogs/browse pinterest. we’re sick, aren’t we? i’ve hit the point in…
if i had endless time, i would travel the country in a 1980’s VW van with matty and claude attending all of the music festivals. we used to have a small, but very fun festival in st. augustine called “harvest of hope” but it only was around for about three years. i did try out ULTRA one year, but it was a bit too techno…
my grandma frances used to bring bags full of rainbow colored tops from Express to our house in the 90’s. it was her FAVORITE store, so when I had the opportunity to host/attend the Express Runway show, i was excited to say the least! the event was one of the most fun in miami in a long time, and it was so amazing to be…
a few years back my friend zak started to bake bread in his garage. he bought an old pizza oven, and sold his bread at the sunday markets. fast forward, and he is opening up an actual bakery next month! apprentices from all over the world help run the bakery, and a few months back he fell in love with one of them name batsheva,…
wynwood is my favorite place to be in miami. living on south beach has its perks, such as being able to walk everywhere (the best perk!) but the words “we’re going to wynwood” have the same effect that “we’re going to FAO Schwartz” had on me as a five-year-old. there’s graffiti on every wall, the produce is dirt cheap and there is a coffee shop…
soft light on windy afternoons off in flowy baby blue floral skirts and shoes with bows on them. i have a cozy, plant-filled courtyard that i am embarrassed to admit we don’t get much use out of, but today we brewed coffee in the coffee press, filled up a couple of weenie mugs and allowed claude to get some energy out. sometimes all it takes…
good monday morning. i am feeling nice and refreshed after having this weekend off, and spending time with my family. i am going to spend my morning studying fashion designers, and re-reading the books sitting on my bookshelf. have you ever stared at your own bookshelf and began to feel a tinge of guilt, because lately that’s me. i’ve decided to really begin to focus…
the end of my wedding knocked the wind out of me. i am very excited to be married, but was so sad to see everyone return home to their far away residencies scattered throughout the world. the best gifts in life are definitely family and friends, and the end of my special day was my wake up call to create togetherness amongst the close friends…
