buffalo checks & vintage trousers.

I’ve been wearing a lot of “holiday plaids” mixed with vintage finds. I love feeling like Annie Hall on the way to a holiday party. It’s sort of a shame to me how easy it is to gravitate toward comfortable jeans and sweaters these days. i will admit that tight high waisted trousers are not the most comfortable, but there’s something beautiful about being dressed…

Grown ups are certainly very strange.

hello vintage, it’s me steffy. i am back to wearing you! i finally had a chance to thrift this past week, and am so over the moon to be wearing some new fun fall vintage staples! i am so busy with wedding planning that i won’t be selling any of it (yet), but after the wedding i will add a big listing to my store!…

days off in the gables.

matt sent me this really interesting article written by isabel slone titled “fashion blogging is dead.” isabel used to write the blog hipster musings at the beginning of the fashion blogger era and i used to read her blog back in the day. anyway, i thought it was a really great article with strong points, and it made me deeply think / wonder why i…

baby bows.

lately i’ve been in a fashion slump. i’m sure you all know the feeling … usually when i go thrifting it inspires me, but lately i just haven’t had the time :(.  i love feeling like i am being creative with what i put on every day, so not having the time to to-so as much is a bit disheartening, but bare with me! hopefully…

an almost halloween outfit!

for me, layering a vintage sweater over a vintage blouse with a cute collar feels like back to basics. i am so happy to have found this combination again. sometimes it feels amazing to just ignore all trends and stick to what you feel most comfortable in 🙂 i finally had a chance to break away and thrift a few fall finds for myself, and…

brunch at the Beach Drive Inn ♥ these are the times in life i cherish. i’ve been in a life rut this week. the thing about life that i find silly is that the times we love and cherish the most happen the least. why can’t life be more about play and less about work? not that i don’t love work… but i just want…

a date night roadtrip.

this week, matt and i happened to have two days off together, so we decided to spontaneously roadtrip up to tampa and go to busch gardens! in our 4 years of dating, we have never been to a theme park together. can you believe that? it was so fun unwinding and going on rollercoasters all day. needless to say, planning a short getaway filled with…

i spent the day with my mom yesterday working on some fun wedding DIY projects! i can’t wait to share some of them with you in the next day or so. i guess i am spoiling some of the “surprise” of my actual wedding, but it’s fun documenting the little things we’re working on along the way! i’ve been transitioning into wearing more jewel tones…

having a blog means always being “put together” or “dressed up” because in my life at least, if matty and i are spending a day together we are also usually taking outfit pictures at some point. it’s not that i am dressing up just for the blog, exactly, but it does add a little bit of pressure to not look sloppy or underdressed, because who…

hello and a happy monday to you. i just woke up and am going to go for a run before i head into work. i’ve been pushing myself to be less lazy and to run more, because it always makes me feel so good. much better than laying around for an hour before work lurking the internets 🙂 florida is finally feeling a little cooler…

a day of thrifting.

some weeks, like this one, i work on the weekends and have 2 random weekdays off. i used to mind, but now i kind of like having peaceful days off where the thrift stores are empty, and i can run errands without lines 🙂 plus, matt’s schedule is always random and sometimes we get weekdays off together! like this tuesday! we spent the day thrifting…
