you’re not just good, you’re golden.

fridays are good. 🙂 this quarter is a toughie guys, i have lots and lots of reading! i’ve been spending my days buried in books and my sewing machine.. feeling like an introvert. but it is imperative to know about international retailing & buying & styling & advertising & visual merchandising (my lineup of classes). i really couldn’t love all of the topics any more.…

✿ florals and bike rides ✿

the spring time makes me want to ride my bike and wear floaty floral dresses. ♥ it also makes me remember why i love delicate, fun, girly vintage clothes so very much. there is nothing, and i mean NOTHING that makes me more giddy than prancing around on my favorite bike (that matt got me for my birthday last year!) in a perfect vintage dress.…

a comfy cozy day.

some days being comfy is just right, and that was this day (saturday). i think us bloggers (or maybe just me?!?!) are sometimes embarrassed to share our slouchy/oversized/not totally put together days, but here is one of mine. even though i like being really girly, i also like being really grungy once in a blue moon. i hope you all had a great holiday weekend.…

all grown-ups were children first (but few remember it).

this weekend we celebrated matt’s birthday. my guy is growing up! one of our favorite books about adults and children is called “the little prince.” have you read it? to me, it captures everything i want in life–to stay as adventurous, open-minded and as free as children. growing up isn’t scary, but growing boring is! matt and i used to read the spanish version also,…

miami fashion week photo diary.

i have yet to attend a NYFW, but I can’t imagine it is even close to Miami International Fashion Week. this isn’t necessarily a bad thing… one of the main reasons I have fallen hard for Miami is because everything having to do with the fashion industry is intimate. It’s a “big-small” city, and that’s exactly how MIFW felt. It was eclectic, bold, colorful… and…

we sure are cute for two ugly people.

i just LOVE this song from Juno. it has stuck with me. whenever i feel really happy or giddy, it always pops into my head. nothing in life (not people/pets/anything) is ever perfect, but it IS all perfectly silly, and i just want to laugh my eyes dry. the best days are the ones when i find humor in everything! smile til’ your cheeks hurt…
