if you want to sing out, sing out.

i’ve been having the most free spirited days of all-time, filled with lady friends, manicures, vintage with a lot of soul searching in the mixture. this is my “last hurrah” of sorts, with graduation coming so soon! it’s sunshine, lemonade and floaty skirts for now… ❤ p.s. i’ve added 30+ cute vintage pieces to the store!  glittery blouse: for sale in my store collared blouse:…

honey, we’re home.

here are a few shots from my home/ building/ CITY! It is so weird guys! … I step out my door and there it is, a great big city with cars whizzing by. The other day i waited downstairs to let the cable man in while in my pajamas in the middle of a city street. I felt silly, but this is my home now!…

under my feet baby, grass is growin’ ✿

today is moving day ( well, technically we started last night)! i know this song is a cheesy breakup song, but i love that line… “what lies ahead i have no way of knowing.” the new place, new neighborhood, new neighbors.. they’re all just lovely blank canvases! i am so excited. goodbye coral gables, you treated me well. i will never forget late night bubble…

summer days driftin’ away, to uh-oh those summer nights.

here is a highly romanticized version of “summer in florida.” sometimes it IS this good. but most days it’s too humid, too hot and you would rather be inside soaking in air conditioning. i guess you just have to be in the mood for sweltering weather, and dressed right. i was a typical florida gal on this day… i threw on easy breezy overalls, snatched…

there’s a place up ahead and i’m goin’, just as fast as my feet can fly.

hello from my new fringe and i! 🙂 i had bangs in 2009 and decided to go back in time a little bit. it was fun revealing them to matt because he said it took him back to when we were first dating! gotta tell you though, waking up with crazy hair is NOT a fun thing, so they may be short lived. it looks…

she was a runaway, from a town so far away.

lazy dayzzz. navy, red, beige & jean is one of my favorite color combinations. throw some stripes from 2020AVE and some polka dots into the mix and YOWZA! it has been non-stop raining here and all i want to do is cozy up in bed. sometimes rainy weeks are relaxing. this weekend we’re painting and packing [fun, right?] matt has monday off and i am…

home is wherever i’m with you.

some moments are for cherishing. i like to compartmentalize my life into important life-changing days when you think to yourself “hm, things are really never going to be the same.” i’ve had lots of these, like the last day of high school, or the moment right before i walked on stage to receive my college diploma, or even as our cab pulled away from the…

come with me my love, to the sea the sea of love.

just a day in the florida sun. ♥ as i get older it gets more difficult for me to walk away from my work and take a personal day, but i spent this entire day sunbathing at the beach and eating blueberries and strawberries and it was lovely (aside from the minor sunburn on my back!) btw i think this is my first time showing…

listen to the colour of your dreams.

it’s friday and this weekend is more than welcomed in my world. i wore this to a little evening in midtown miami with matt. we ate at lemoni, our new favorite spot! i had so much fun walking in the furor moda fashion show on wednesday night! aside from the fact that i cannot walk and am NOT a model, i felt pampered and had…

life could be a dream.

happpy monday! my days feel all scrambled because when matt was away last week i was living like a real bachelorette 🙂 froyo for dinner, frozen corn for lunch.. life was a bit unusual for a bit. routines have since resumed though! it has been non-stop rain over here and it’s supposed to continue for the whole week. i don’t mind it because you know…

if not for you, winter would have no spring.

i have the spring bug. i can’t resist delicate floral patterns like the one on this blouse. it was a simple/ cozy day, so i threw on jeans which doesn’t happen to often on the blog, or off the blog either!  i spent this afternoon grabbing lunch with gaby and our moms. we ate yummy cupcakes and i tried bread pudding for the first time,…

you’ve got a friend in me.

as summer rolls around, i usually have less luck finding wearable vintage. for some reason i can never find great shorts/skirts that fit me right.. do you vintage shoppers have the same dilemma? because of this, i went to the mall with my mom on this day and shopped forever 21. i am not a huge mall person, but i found some cute shorts &…
