I wanted to write an “old-school style” blog post to document our babymoon, and have a ton of the photos we snapped live in one place. While we visited Miami, we toyed with the idea of flying somewhere for a few days to get away before the baby (since both of our parents live in South Florida and could watch Hudson for us!) but we…
WE SURVIVED DISNEY!!! And I am excited to report back that Hudson was as close as a 3-year-old can get to behaving like an absolute dream. I didn’t think it would work out that way – he skipped naps, ate lots of sugar, and was worn out, but I think in his brain it registered that these were magical and special days, and he fully…
Both my parents and Matt’s parents live in South Florida, so we flew down for the Thanksgiving holiday. It felt good to be home, because we hadn’t visited since Hudson was 2 months old (although our parents have visited us here tons and tons of time, which is awesome). We caught up with family, friends and ate sooo much food. Too much food! It feels…
After sharing my first Miami city guide, a guide to Miami Beach, I had some requests to share more of our favorite spots in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Wynwood along with my favorite vintage shops. Here goes! FOOD/DRINK: 1. Zak the Baker (Wynwood): I may be biased, because Zak is a great friend of ours, but judging by how many others in Miami love this…
I have such a tough time finding the perfect pair of high waisted denim (don’t we all?!) I have a small waist, with hips so they usually either make me look wide, or fit awkwardly. When I found this pair, I felt like they were heaven sent! Let’s just say I am having to hold myself back from buying every single style that Urban Outfitters…
It feels so good to throw on my old favorites, these overalls! They were my go-to staple when I lived in Florida, and years later they’re still so easy to throw on. Having a baby totally strips my time to myself in the morning, so I’ve learned to minimize my wardrobe and make it easy to grab my favorite staples. In my opinion, everyone should…
Matt and I lived in Miami for four years before moving to NY. We spent 1.5 of those years in Coral Gables, 1/2 a year in Downtown Miami and the other 2 years living on South Beach! It has been fun being able to revisit all of our old favorite spots, and I realized I never wrote a post about said spots! I am happily…
here are a few little moments from monday thru friday in my miami beach universe ♥ it has been overcast and rainy, but so very lovely outside. 1. at the kickoff party for miami fashion week last night with dany from nany’s klozet ♥ so excited i get to see her so much this week! 2. & 3. matt just snagged this amazing yashica on…
i live in this vibrant, beautiful and tropical place that i pinky promise to share more of with you. i’ve been bringing my little camera along with me on more adventures, here are some snapshots of the week. 1. we love walking by this retro mint building on pennsylvania avenue. 2. claude always sits in this chair, and i finally captured her perfectly. 3. a…
this weekend we drove upcoast to the tampa area to pick our wedding catering food. we literally tasted way more than our stomachs can handle. good thing i had this oversized sweater to cover up my food baby 🙂 matt named the raccoon rocky, but i named it woozy. i like my name better! after the tasting, we stopped by our wedding venue. here’s some…
brunch at the Beach Drive Inn ♥ these are the times in life i cherish. i’ve been in a life rut this week. the thing about life that i find silly is that the times we love and cherish the most happen the least. why can’t life be more about play and less about work? not that i don’t love work… but i just want…
this week, matt and i happened to have two days off together, so we decided to spontaneously roadtrip up to tampa and go to busch gardens! in our 4 years of dating, we have never been to a theme park together. can you believe that? it was so fun unwinding and going on rollercoasters all day. needless to say, planning a short getaway filled with…
this past weekend i made the 4 hour trek to the city i am getting married in with my future in-laws, my parents and my maid of honor (matt had to work 🙁 ). when you choose to get married a few hours away, you have to stack every possible wedding appointment into the same day— and that’s exactly what we did! we didn’t even…
oh sweet freedom. i really have a love hate relationship with the summer months. on one hand, i have less hours at work which grants me more time to be the most free me i can be. on the other hand, i have less hours at work. never a great thing, right? BUT … i am a “do-er” so the first thing i did was…
this weekend we headed upcoast for some family fun with our favorite friends from college. here’s what i wore. also, here’s what we look like in the car 🙂 i just discovered a wider lens, so lots more life pictures to come from now on! my love affair with florals has just begun! i thrifted TONS of amazing floral vintage along the way on our…
ever since i started to work full-time, i reaalllly reallllly love weekends, and try to take full advantage! there’s no better way to spend a weekend than in a cabin. yup, the cabin that’s been on the blog before 🙂 i adore dressing casual and lounging around all day with the dogs running free. my friends LIVE here and wake up to this beautiful scenery…
when the weather get’s chilly, the best place to visit is my friends cabin upcoast. it’s a bit dilapidated and beautifully rustic. the air is crisp, the grass is high and it is in the middle of nowhere. i have dreamt about these fall/winter days all year and they are finally back! i am having one of those weeks where i miss too many people.…
here’s some snaps from orlando 🙂 50’s diners, milkshakes, friends and of course pretty blouses with pretty collars were all present. have a lovely wednesday! shorts: for sale in my store blouse: c/o lalamagic necklace: francesca’s collections shoes: vintage bag: handbag heaven…
one of my favorite small businesses on the florida coast is carnival confections in sebastian. the entire place is shaped like a carnival tent, and they have yummy muffins and cupcakes! i’ve been on a floral skirt binge, and all i really wanted was a red velvet cupcake to match my skirt 🙂 last night i was looking back through some old e-mails matt and…
as far as dreams go, one of my biggest dreams is to live in a house in the woods with a backyard. i know some people think the tropics are beautiful, but my idea of beauty is a deserted road in the middle of the wilderness. i think snow and the fall and trees without leaves are SO pretty. i’m jealous of all you cuties…
