meridian avenue style.

matt said, “you’re taking pictures in this, you’re just in a t-shirt, that’s not like you!” before we took these. but lately i’ve been loving this casual “street style” look, and i have been soaking up all of the denim at the gap. i forgot how amazing all of their jeans fit! i feel like sometime in the past few years the GAP fell to…

golden hour.

it’s been a while since we went on a long walk around the beach, but tonight we were able to squeeze one in! the sun has been setting a bit later, which is great for photos, but also means the heat is starting to come back. we are getting back to the normal routine of home cooked meals, 3 mile runs, 7 hour sleeps and…

the month of hearts.

it is probably no surprise at this point that my wedding falls on valentine’s day weekend. we actually didn’t intentionally do this, it was all that the venue had left, but i mean.. who wouldn’t want to get married on the “day of love?” 🙂 it is the perfect time of the month starting now to wear everything in my closet with hearts on it.…

llewyn davis feeling.

i have been so attracted to the style of the movie “llewyn davis” (which you should definitely see if you haven’t yet!) neutral colors, grainy shots, brown plaids… i cannot get enough these days. there’s something so romantic about this washed out undersaturated look. i wore this outfit when spending the day with my mom today. i was sick for 2 days, and now i…

color companionship.

there truly is not a color that i adore more than mustard yellow. it combines so romantically with so many colors– cremes, browns, reds and i’ve recently discovered that this red wine color is its perfect pair. i found these jeans thrifting a few years back, and have styled them tons of times on my blog (here and here), i love that they can work…

rainy day feeling

rainy days are poetic in my mind. maybe standing in the drizzling rain for outfit pictures ISNT, but i think these pictures capture my sentiments perfectly. the world feels grainy, my eyes feel heavy and my creativity feels endless. my wedding is in 1 month, and i am enjoying running down my list of projects. florida has been “cold” lately (it really has been! 50…

beach day dusk.

to be honest, sometimes it is hard to find time to take “outfit photos.” this has been one of those weeks. the last thing i really want to do after work (if it is even still light out when i am off) is stay in my clothes to take photos. i usually just want to go to the gym. on days off, if i don’t…

all things December.

december on south beach to me means the vintage fair is back on sundays, christmas lights are up on the balconies lining all of my favorite alleyways and even though it isn’t even close to 50 degrees, my sweaters are worn. it’s the time of year for vintage ties, red lips and endless amounts of walks down the familiar streets of my neighborhood. matt picked…

fall flowers.

for a while, i boycotted dresses. i only owned about five, and i wore them never. i felt like dresses were “cheating” because styling them only includes picking a bag and shoes. I liked the thrill of mixing and matching top to bottom. But lately, i finally understand. some days, it’s easy to throw on a dress and to still be cute! it requires less…
