We usually make a full-day adventure out of getting a pumpkin, but this year we didn’t want to travel too far from home, but we still wanted to soak in some Halloween vibes. We went to this adorable nursery called Dee’s that is local, and we were blown away by A. how fall-inspired everything looked and B. how many fun little kids things they had…
Just a day spent picking apples with my hubby. BTW on a whim I totally revamped the blog, and made everything a lot more searchable, like outfits, travel & home inspiration posts! Let me know how you like it! …
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…
Nothing pairs better with gorgeous, vibrant fall colors than a brown suede 70’s vibe skirt, like this one from Boohoo. The leaves are at their peak, and my eyes are MESMERIZED. We snapped these in Hudson, NY – It is about 3 hours upstate from where we live. Funny story – we drove up to camp, and at around 3AM, when I still could not…
the fall is our favorite time to explore all that NY has to offer – out east, upstate, long island .. there’s so many amazing towns all over the state just waiting to be discovered. cold spring is one of them! we spent the day trying out coffee shops and exploring antique shops and local businesses, like this adorable cold spring general store. matt picked…
Some places are more beautiful when the “season” ends – there’s a ton of those place in NY. It can be overwhelming finding a place to stay, parking or even getting into a restaurant to eat dinner in Montauk during the summer months. It has become a party destination, but it truly is so much more! It has such great campsites, beaches and hiking to…
Today we spent some time in the north fork, which is out East near Montauk. They have some amazing wineries and farm stands, and everything is so adorable i just couldn’t stop snapping pictures (i have sooo many more!) almost everything is dog friendly as well! We just ordered a new wider lens, so be ready for tons more pictures. We’re going to try focusing…
I didn’t mean to take a 1 week hiatus, but I was at a family reunion for Matt’s side of the family. We were all staying in a big, weird, creepy, awesome and scenic (yes, it was all of those things!) home in upstate NY. It had no phone service, and I packed 1 duffle bag and pretty much wore the same denim cutoffs the…
Oh how lovely 3-day weekends are. AND it is officially “summer” up here, according to vacation rentals and such! We drove two hours upstate, and spent time around Woodstock, New Paltz, Beacon and all of my favorite towns to visit and antique in. It’s incredible how close you can find such a different world in NY… it feels like the quiet life upstate, and it…
… yes, i am a blogger. and yes, bloggers stereotypically love fall, and go on and on about how wonderful it is. but GUYS. this time last year I was here dressing like this. actually NEEDING tights and knee highs is a concept I’ve forgotten all about! it was in the 40’s on this day upstate – and i may have even been CHILLY! i…
eiffel tower print: check adorable collar: check perfect chambray fabric: check!! literally the most perfect dress, which i wore for a day exploring montauk. we visited the lighthouse at the east most point, and sipped some vino on the bay after a day of exploring. i was so excited to share this outfit on Wear, which is a new “outfit posts” site similar to Chictopia and…
my nyc days are years behind me, and i am the first to admit, i am a little rusty. the constant growth and change in the city is tiring to keep up with, and i am extremely lucky to have friends who are still residing in the bubble who can guide me on my visits! my friend ella played tour guide for matt and i,…
new york city is as beautiful as i remember. so many months have passed since my last visit, but the city and i always pick right back up where we left off. nothing makes me feel more alive than walking around with the brisk cold air against my face. we spent our first day walking down streets we’ve never explored, seeing old faces, eating peruvian…
i said bye to NYC yesterday, and it feels good to be home with my cute weenie dog, claude! Lulu’s was sweet & sent over this vacation look for my trip, which i got great use out of in the hot hot heat! tomorrow morning i am back to work bright N early. there’s something comforting about familiar faces and old routines. goodnight! ♥ dress:…
NYC has been averaging about 95-100 degrees for our stay, so you can say it’s been a sweaty few days 🙂 we’ve been drinking a lot of iced coff, eating a lot of ice pops and trying to find AC as much as we can… with some thrifting in between! hope you enjoy my photos, more to come soon 🙂 xo dress: for sale in…
on my worst days, i just picture the feeling of walking down broadway on a chilly day with the warm sun on my face. it always makes me feel better. i spent most of this perfect snowwy day doing just that with some of my closest friends. it’s a day i will cherish. i finally got to meet tieka and mara, i went to an…
here’s a little place i like to call home. i have some of my oldest memories here, and it was sad to visit after hurricane sandy and see all of the damage. my very lovely aunt/ inspiration lives here, so its always a destination on my NY trips. the house above is my dream house. i took a polaroid of it when i was 15…
yay! i made it to NYC, and lived through the nemo blizzard! actually, we took these right in the middle of it! i didn’t let the blizzard stop my vacation at all, so my friend alex who travelled with me and i went thrifting in brooklyn! i’ve gotta say, wearing insulated shoes makes all the difference. i wore this cozy cozy deer sweater (with a…
here’s a peek at my last day in new york. there was surfing, brunch foods & of course my aunts 50th birthday celebration. it was amazing being all together again as a family. i have 13 cousins, so you can only imagine.. 🙂 rowdy, dysfunctional, silly new yorkers all in one room. AND my cute 83-year-old grandma came too, all dressed up in a baby…
just a few snapshots of a day spent with my guy in the place i want to live the most, long beach NY. boardwalk + diner + the leaves changing colors. (!!!) i got this french hen sweater from work ( also got the socks to match) and wore it for a few days straight. it is just so cozy and provides the perfect amount…
