A bunch of you asked for tips on how we traveled with Hudson while he’s only 4.5 months old! To be honest, it is much easier than I expected. I was super nervous about how he would be on the plane, and also a bit anxious about having so much extra stuff, but it all worked out. Here’s a few tips, and a list of…
I’ve received tons of questions during our trip to California about renting a VW Westfalia Van! It’s a dream that a lot of us little free-spirited hippies have had, and I am going to share with you how to make it your reality (even if only for a week!) … Then I’ll be back to share some of our favorite spots from our trip, as…
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…
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! …
One of our favorite things about roadtripping and visiting new cities is trying new coffee shops! I can never say no to coffee & a scone, and would prefer that to any other lunch any day of the week! We snapped these at Tandem Coffee in Portland, Maine. It is one of my favorite places, and it seriously feels like 1960’s California (or at least…
Chicwish dress (non maternity) | Aysen shoes | Sezane tote For my final flight on an airplane before baby comes, we took a trip to LA/ San Luis Obispo for our friends wedding! Matt and I (and our best friends Alex & Doug) rented a car, and drove upcoast about 2 hours to an airbnb near the wedding. It was amazing to be surrounded by friends,…
It’s a family tradition of ours to spend some time in Martha’s Vineyard each summer (You can see past posts here, here and here!) I will actually be back all of next week with my parents for the week of my birthday, but here’s some photos from July 4th weekend! Some of our favorite things to do include getting breakfast at The Black Dog, seeing…
Sitges was also just a quick 45 minute train ride outside of Barcelona. It looked (to me) like Greece, or Burano, Italy or a mix of the two. The narrow alleyway streets were breathtaking, and I swear everyone just knew to buy the same colored flowers! It was a bit “touristy” and overcrowded, but we’re still glad we got to see it and spend a…
While visiting Spain, Matt and I took a day-trip to Girona (which we highly recommend for anyone who has a few days in Barcelona – we took the AVE high speed train, and the ride was only 30 minutes!) Some of Game of Thrones was filmed here, which made it extra exciting for us, plus you can truly get lost on the narrow cobblestone streets…
As we continued to drive along the ring road, we eventually hit Seljavallalaug, a thermal pool in the middle of a mountain valley. It was about a 15 minute hike to find, but one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever been to. The water was a bit icky, but I’d do it all over again if I had the chance 🙂 ^^ Svartifoss Waterfall,…
We began our trip to Iceland by flying into the Keflavik airport and we rented a car to roadtrip on the ring road. On our way to Reykjavik we stopped at the Blue Lagoon to find out what all the hype was about! I have to say, touristy and all, that this was one of my favorite places! I sipped a carrot juice and exfoliated…
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…
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…
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…
After years of dreaming about visiting Portland, Oregon, I finally had a chance to tag along with Matt on one of his work trips. I always pictured Portland as the only place besides NY that I could see myself living and fitting in. I was definitely not let down at all by all of the incredible things to do (and how walkable to city is!)…
My little brother Matthew lives out in Washington D.C. and I had to pleasure of staying in his new home and getting a personalized tour around the city! When I lived in Brooklyn back in 2009, he lived in the city and we shared tons of fun adventures together, so it was a lot of fun getting to adventure with him again just like old…
