i ♥ brocade.

here i am at the hotel all my wedding guests are going to be staying at! it’s quite the scenic place, with a sort of 1990’s vintage vibe, so it was fun to take these pictures there! there’s tons of trends i could live without, and i really wouldn’t call myself “trendy,” but i have to say i love this brocade trend that’s in this…

playing with colors!

somewhere on pinterest i saw this color combination a few months back, and it just stuck in my head. i loved the idea of taking the “christmas colors” and giving them a whole new life! for some reason with a bit of mint and brown to balance out the two brights, the colors read totally differently. i’ve been craving this kelly green color, and can’t…

chambray and an owl.

i wore this to work, and love how neutral the chambray on chambray is. it leaves room for a fun bag like this one! i love how my owl has a bow in her hair!  matt met me (on foot) when i got off work, and we walked around the beach brainstorming ideas for an upcoming project we’re working on. we always have a 15…

a sunday kind of love.

internet, meet one of my oldest friends courtney! she lives in LA, but was visiting this past weekend. she probably knows me better than anyone else in the world (except my other best friend lacey), and it was lovely being able to go to brunch and share old stories & a few new ones. whenever i see old friends, it just reminds me how the…

it’s official.

we’re now officially locals, because we brought our bikes to the beach. they were in storage for a few months! i’ve been getting to know south beach in a whole different way, learning mini side streets and stopping into little local grocers along the way. there’s something special about having the bikes — it means we’re here to stay. it’s such a great city to…

caturday on a sunday.

so matt and i coincidentally matched wearing cat attire today. awkward 🙂 we don’t even own a cat, but i guess that’s the beauty of it! if we wore clothing with weenie dogs allover, would we be even weirder? idk… i wore this after i got off work, i always change into more comfortable clothes after work. then matt and i shopped around to find…

summer braids.

we just took a lovely sunset walk around the beach with our weenie. it has still been so hot, and we really only enjoy walking around in the evening. the bright side is that it’s mid-august, and by october/november it will be a few degrees cooler! in florida we don’t look forward to “the fall,” we more-so look forward to being able to spend more…

i rode my bicycle past your window last night.

south beach has this lovely system of bikes for rent, so you can walk a block from your house, rent a bike and then drop it off at other locations. matt and i biked around at sunset, and it was too fun. being on a bike gives me that “OH IT’S GOOD TO BE ALIVE” feeling. it makes me feel like a little kid 🙂…

i wore this to go see the movie still mine this morning. it’s funny that i was excited to layer two sleeveless tops to sit in movie theater AC, but the second we stepped outside this was way too hot for FL! the movie was good, if you were considering seeing it too 🙂 it was a really fun weekend of reconnecting with old friends,…

slow sparkly mornings. ♥

around this time of the year, i always miss the feeling of going “back to school.” there is something so fresh and exciting about buying new notebooks and pens and knowing they will soon be filled with new ideas, thoughts and theories. maybe i’m a sap, but i still try to keep the magic of learning alive in my life. since i was a little…
