So, we’re all moved in (or our small stuff is, at least!) We are starting to fix up the house this week, and we have a long list of things to do that should take a few weeks, but wanted to share our home as it is before! It’s funny, because our last house that we bought was really aesthetically pleasing from the get-go, with…
Moving looks a lot like this right now – all of our things are in a storage unit while we renovate the new place, and these are our last few days in our current home sleeping on an air mattress in an empty apartment. hey, at least it looks pretty! i sort of love an empty apartment … guilty pleasures. I’ll be back later this…
I’m a few months into my 28th year, and I can’t lie to you, turning 30 has been on the brain. I know age is just a number, and I am 100% young at heart, but there’s so many things I want to do, and so little time! It’s amazing how fast time flies by – I can’t believe I started this blog when I…
After an INSANELY hectic week of my full-time job paired with the stresses that go into buying a house paired with blog work, i am super excited to be headed off to san francisco for the next few days! we’re visiting our best friends and exploring the city! I’ve only been once when I was 14, so any tips on places to go are much…
After months of dying my hair, I finally decided to match my roots and go back to my natural hair color. I could NOT be more happy with my decision. I think that everyone is born with the hair color they are meant to have, and next time i try to dye my hair i am just going to remember that… Another perk of this…
I knew for a while that I wanted to get a tattoo for Claudie on my arm. Aside from my undying love for my doggie, I also love the design of doxies, and pretty much own everything dachshund that I can get my hands on. It was just a matter of letting the idea really sink in before going ahead with the tattoo. Matt found…
I’ve been having a bit of fun adding small touches to our home this past week or so! I’ve added an adorable mirrored bar cart tray, gold stamped an accent wall with some VW punch buggies and added this adorable garland from Paper Fox LA, which brightens up our room! This weekend we are headed to upstate NY to hike and snag some antiques for…
Swipe left or right is a thing now… and a thing I felt left out of. Until Pinxter, that is. It’s like Lookbook.nu, but more addicting. You can upload your outfit photos for others to judge, or you can be the judge of whether outfits are cute enough for a swipe right 🙂 Make sure to find me, my name is steffyspandcs of course. Xo…
There’s no place like home. It took a little settling in to really feel like “this is where i live now,” after residing in South Beach for a few years, but now it feels real. Matt snapped these amidst a normal day… snowed in drinking coffee and listening to music. I realize now that these are the days that make Winter great. Being stir-crazy together,…
Contrary to popular belief, I live in Long Island, not NYC. Long Island is quite different than the city – it is suburbia. The houses are bigger, most residents get around by car not train, you can’t walk everywhere, and it is sort of small towny. It also lacks the trendy-hipster-brick walls and exotic lighting hanging in random places type restaurants that speckle the streets…
hello there 🙂 lately my off-the-grid life has consisted of parks and rec catch up, thai food, hikes in the snow wearing so many layers i’m unrecognizable, full emersion into work and new friends. the winter blues are non-existant for me since i love snow, but i am feeling pretty bad about how milky white my skin is, and how much easier it is to…
my living room is an ongoing project in my eyes. we’re lucky to have such a beautiful open space, with fantastic natural light (that i only get to enjoy on weekends bc it’s dark both when i leave and return on weekdays!) i envisioned it almost exactly like it is when we bought the place, with tons of yellow and brown! a few things i…
Matt has been out of town, so excuse the slow week on my blog 🙂 Here’s two looks that I’ve been re-wearing for this holiday season (and claude being the cutest thing ever). jeans, a festive sweater and a plaid scarf can never be wrong!! and a vintage pinafore dress… paired with this turtleneck that i snagged last year from j.crew because i knew someday…
here it is, our bedroom! it is the only room aside from the bathroom that is completed, and i have to admit it is my favorite bedroom i’ve ever had. growing up i sort of got to decorate my room, but you know how that goes (it is in your parents house, so not fully your own). from handfuls of apartments in college, to rented…
Here’s some pictures of the renovation going on in our home right now! As you know, we’re not living there yet, so the house is pretty torn apart, but hopefully in a few weeks it will be all done! Updates to the home include: New kitchen from scratch (very fun, but also very stressful!) New bathroom Adding a ceiling fan to our bedroom Adding hi-hats…
my friend Kelsea and i decided to test out a homemade pumpkin spice recipe. i read this article, and was pretty sad that the latte has literally NO REAL PUMPKIN in it. i always knew my seasonal PSL’s were a treat, and knew they couldn’t be lengthening my life, but i never knew there was 0 pumpkin in them! it was the motivation i needed…
i will cherish these photos forever. i’ve already looked through them over a dozen times. there was so much love and warmth on my wedding day, even though it was 50 degrees outside and we were all freezing. looking at these photos, i can feel all of the love i had in the palm of my hands on our wedding day. we are so blessed.…
i am not about to bombard you with an endless amount of wedding content, but i have had many requests to share more wedding photos, and since we just received them back from our incredible photography regina rached (who i highly recommend!), here we are! i decided to split them into two posts, so here’s photos from before the ceremony with some little details! i…
i’m sorry my posting has been a little slow over here as far as outfits go 🙂 i promise they will be back soon. until then, here’s some fun wedding photobooth photos that i just got back! so many great ones! having the photobooth at the party was one of our best decisions, it was so much fun to sneak away and take some secret…
saturday was the best day of my life. people always tell you that your wedding day will be your best day yet, and i didn’t understand the true gravity of this statement until my day. it is a day i will always remember and cherish, a day i will savor for the rest of my life. it came so slowly and passed so quickly, but…
