New Orleans: What I Wore + Recs

  We headed to Louisiana last week for our close friends’ wedding with our group of college friends. We flew into the airport in New Orleans, and spent one night there and two nights in Lafayette, which was close to where the wedding was held. During our time there we explored, ate (too much) and had a great time with old friends, plus it was the…

Wide Leg Jeans Under $70

gap wide leg jeans, wide leg jeans, la femme sezane

I am all about this wide leg jean trend, even if my husb thinks they’re weird. They’re “girl cute” meaning only us women are into them, but that’s cool. Most pairs were too cropped on me because I am tall, or they were perfect but outrageously expensive, and I was excited to have found this pair from Gap! They’re the best length!! … and wide leg jeans…

How to Spend A Sunday In Brooklyn // Outfit

Greenpoint, Brooklyn has quickly become one of our favorite places to wander around on the weekend. I even dream about moving here (keyword: dream). On this particular day, we ate our way around – I stopped and ate this amazing cannoli creme donut from Moe’s Doughs Donut Shop. Then we ran into a friend who suggested we grab bread from Northside Bakery. We ate some perogie’s…

Girlfriend Jeans + A Hudson Appearance (& 10 Secret Things About Me!)

I saw a few people on instagram share 10 secrets about themselves that aren’t out for the world to see yet, and I thought this idea was fun! You guys hear me babble on and on about my clothing choices and my life path, but I never really share much about who I am! 1. I grew up skateboard and surfing! Yup, probably never mentioned…

Spring Blooms With Clarks

Thanks to Zappos.com and Clarks for sponsoring this post! The blooms are OUT in full force, and I am not wasting a second getting out my Spring clothes (and treating myself to some new ones) Last year at this time, I was too pregnant for any of my clothes to fit, so it feels sooooooo good to be in dresses & skirts & loving getting…

Upstate NY Adventures in Thrifting // Outfit

Thanks to Zappos.com and Rockport for sponsoring this post!  It’s probably not surprising to you guys that I spend my time off hunting for treasures in upstate NY (Mystery Spot antiques is worth your time!) What may come as a shock to you, though, is that I packed so light that I only brought one pair of shoes for the adventure – these super cute…

The Best Shoes // An Outfit!

I know that I’m constantly tooting Sezane’s horn, but GUYS. These shoes are my dream shoes. They’re the perfect heel height, and my favorite mustard yellow color. I am so so smitten! I found this amazing suede pinafore dress in a vintage shop near Joshua Tree, and I’ve never seen anything like it before! It’s one of my favorite items in my closet, and makes…

An Outfit In Brooklyn

Lately I’ve been gravitating toward wearing my hair up, because A. it’s way quicker and B. it’s falling out, so this is a fun way to cover that up. Also, Hudson always pulls on it now! Most days I throw on denim and a tee, so it felt good to plan out this look and feel sort of like my “old self.” Some of these…

A Spring Day Outfit

Some of you mentioned that you do miss “outfit posts” so I am going to do my best to post at least one per week! It’s actually finding the items to link below that is the most time consuming, because surprisingly I DO get dressed every single day. haha! Anyway, I wore this on a walk to the park with Hudson to put him in…

Spring Flower Shopping w/ LOFT

This Winter has been pretty mild, but that doesn’t make the sound of Spring any less appealing over here. We pretty much bolted to the flower shop on the first warm-ish day to liven up our house a bit with some plant babies (if we can keep them alive, that is!) There’s this adorable nursery, Dee’s, near our house where we pick up our pumpkins…

Amsterdam Tulips

Getting to see the tulips in Amsterdam was one of my favorite things of all time. It seriously looks like tons and tons of M&M’s from far away, until you drive closer and realize that they’re perfectly planted tulips! It looks fake, and even in seeing these photos I still cannot believe they’re real. In all honesty, we snapped some pictures but I was SO…

Amsterdam + Adorable Navy Oxfords

Before heading to Iceland, we took two days to stop into Amsterdam and visit some college friends. I had never been before, and Matt had only visited when he was a little kiddie. We spent our only full day there exploring the gorgeous city by bike, and taking a tour through the canals compliments of our friends! Biking around there is DEFINITELY nerve wracking, with…

A Weekend Roatrip

Traveling upstate to Beacon, New Paltz, Cold Spring and all the cute little surrounding towns is one of our favorite things to do in Spring/ Summer / Fall. The vibe was SO different from the last time we went in the Fall! The blooms are unreal, and we finally upgraded to a 6-person tent for more room, which we named the “tent-mahal” because it’s so…

My Favorite Frye Boots (+ A Huge Frye/HauteLook Sale)

Spring came and went, or never really fully arrived. I was a bit bummed because I got amazing sandals from Frye that I’ve been dying to wear with a maxi dress, but instead I got to take these Frye Jackie Zip Short boots from HauteLook out for a spin, and they’re just as wonderful! I usually lean toward boots with skinnier ankles, but for some…

Long Beach Date Night in Ted Baker ♥ (+ a Sale!)

Since it’s been warmer outside, it’s been fun to put on fancier dresses for date night with Matt! I’ve been all about Mexican food lately, so we went out to Panchos which is a few minutes from our house. I felt so fancy, it made me feel like twirling! I found this perfect Spring outfit at Ted Baker, I always love how feminine their pieces…

Exploring Sagamore Hill

Teddy Roosevelt loved Sagamore Hill and spent most of his life there, and since he is one of Matt’s favorite presidents we toured his home a few weeks back and fell in love. The property surrounding his home is beautiful. We saw it covered in snow, and we were lucky enough to see it in bloom! There’s a mile hiking trail which leads into this…

Brooklyn Dusk

So excited to call today my “Friday.” It’s Matt’s birthday tomorrow, so we’re spending the day together in Brooklyn. He’s going to get my weenie tattoo (if he can get a walk-in appointment) so we match, and then we’re going to grab lunch at Katz deli. We pretty much never spend weekdays just exploring Brooklyn/ NYC so it will be a blast. Then we’re having…
