I took a yoga class this morning with my mom, matt and our friend cody. it was in this beautiful barn that overlooked a field, with the windows open and the breeze filling the room throughout the class. we could even hear birds chirping the whole time! at the end of class, the instructor read us a poem. it really connected to how i am…
whenever i look back at my blog, i always enjoy looking back on vacation posts the most. i usually regret not taking more photos, even though it’s hard to step away from the fun to snap them. this trip i want to have lots to look back on, so i’ve been shooting as much as i can (and not just of outfit pictures, of course!)…
hello from marthas vineyard 🙂 ! i’ve been coming here since i’m a little girl– and my parents got this house in 2005, so it’s become a life routine to be here every summer. it’s amazing how much more i appreciate the vacation as i get older and have less time to get away & less time to be with my family. our house is…
!!!!!!! ok so here goes! this week has been truly amazing. i posted on wednesday because i found out tuesday i am being promoted! it was truly the most proud of myself i’ve ever felt finding out that i worked hard enough to be promotable! yesterday was matt’s last day at his job because he is going to be freelancing full-time. let’s just say we…
so WOW yesterday was one of the best days in life so far. i will elaborate more next week, but let’s say there’s been some celebrating around here. ever have those moments when you step outside yourself and acknowledge that “things are really going to change and never be the same..?” i’ve been doing lots of that, just cherishing ever single second, trying to remember…
sundays are for relaxing & i love lounging around the house with claude reading and listening to my records. we listened to The Beatles– a hand me down from my dad. also, black coffee endlessly never gets old. what do you all do on your sundays? xo p.s. my vintage chair collection keeps growing, and i’m okay with that! dress/shoes: for sale in my store…
i’m cozy in bed & i can still hear the fireworks crackling outside my window 🙂 sometimes i don’t mind having to wake up at 5AM for work, because it pushes me to have full days and full nights of sleep! this july 4th has been everything july 4th should be! we BBQed with all our friends, had an all-american meal at a diner, watched…
we’re getting ready for july 4th over here, and i am happy to announce that matty and i both have the day off! how exciting. my mom has told me over and over again that i was supposed to be born on july 4th. her and my dad went for a date in NYC that night, and giggled because i was supposed to be arriving…
life is all about changing and growing, and in the past few months i think i’ve grown more than in years. i went through a large chunk of my days in a dark place the past few months (if we’re going to be honest). i wouldn’t say i was depressed, because i am a very positive individual, but i was lost. i felt stuck. i…
i’ve finally found a dress i know i will repeatedly wear all summer long. i usually wear dresses once and get bored with how simple they are to style (you know.. add a necklace, or a hat), but this one is a dream come true. i am going to wear it again to work tomorrow! today was equal parts fun and sad. i had a…
lemon and lime pastel paradise 🙂 i wore this to grab some froyo with my partners in crime. i hope i captured how beautiful sunset walks on south beach are. lincoln road is always packed, the residential streets are always empty, and the two side-by-side is a wonderful combination of both worlds. i love how south beach is a “residential [on the beach] city.” i…
happppy sunday evening. i’m sitting next to my right hand gal claude, and my guy matt watching arrested development. i never watched it when it was “THE show,” so we’re catching up on episodes. we had the most fun day of walks and movies and cooking, etc. i love how full summer weekend days feel. i spent the day in these comfy black high-waisted shorts…
my childhood ended and my adult life began when every day began to melt into one. summer break disappeared, weekends became rare and i can distinctly remember writing down “june” as the month a few days back and realizing i hardly remember the days passing by at all. the amazing part is that i haven’t minded all of the saturdays spent steaming and playing with…
i just got home from an evening yoga class. i am addicted to the feeling of practicing yoga while the sun is setting outside. i love sweating out all of my stresses, and letting everything go. I LOVE YOGA! 🙂 after living on south beach for almost a year, i am starting to branch out and find more things to do that fit my personality.…
oh life, it is ever so complicated and oh so beautiful. i’ve been trying to find my balance of happiness lately, which is a constant battle (for most of us i think). I saw this movie called carmina o revienta the other day, and just loved the quote “life is so beautiful it almost seems real.” it’s funny, because my friend who i saw it…
my favorite part about being up north is that in the early morning, the sun looks different. it is warmer feeling– like the world is tinted yellow– but the air is cooler. and when you sip your hot coffee, you can feel it saturating your body. hopefully one day when i move back to NY or somewhere else where there is a chill in the…
i spent this past weekend in Brattleboro, Vermont, a place I would have never thought of visiting but am glad that life brought me to! it is a peaceful, beautiful, scenic little town right along the connecticut river. i absolutely adore slowing down my pace, enjoying a cup of coffee and getting a picture of what life is like for lots of other people who…
claude and i usually drink coffee together around my room on mornings that i go into work later in the day. we love to collect vintage coffee mugs, especially ones with flowers on em’ 🙂 these amazing sparkly oxfords are from lucky21, and they fit my mood for the season perfectly 🙂 i MAY be writing off heels, but that is just a maybe for…
florida spring/summer means rain, rain and rain. the pretty part about it is that there is sunshine in between the rain, which to me speaks volumes. it’s metaphorical 🙂 lots of days the rain frustrates me, especially since i walk everywhere, but sometimes i soak it up, put on my cosy knee-highs and stop caring about how frizzy my hair is going to get. i…
i wore this today for a delightful sunday with matt. we grocery shopped, baked, spent a few hours at the mall (which we don’t ever do.. weird), visited our college friend laura and took claude for a long walk. it’s so important for us to reconnect on sundays, because they are usually our only day off together 🙂 it’s been sunny outside and i’ve been…
