we spent matts birthday at the beach in lahinch, a tiny surf town, because surfing is his favorite thing and surfing in ireland was one of his dreams. it was a gorgeous overcast day that was not too chilly, and i felt like being a cozy beach bum! i snagged this sweater from the GAP, and loved it so much i bought it in two…
i scored this vintage gem skirt right before i left, and knew it would be joining me on this trip. everything about the pattern makes my eyes light up– i would decorate every couch in my house (if i had more than 1 couch) with it, that’s how much i love it. the north and west of ireland are surprisingly a bit warmer, and the…
i am not the type of girl who can just throw on sweats and sneaks and go for a hike– because matt and i love to shoot photographs along the way, and i like to wear fabulous vintage in these photos. i wouldn’t exactly consider myself “high-maintenance” because i’m okay with outdoors-y activities and i never mind breaking a little sweat, but i just have…
we are here! we’ve already explored the beautiful city of dublin, and are now making our way into northern ireland, staying at bed and breakfasts’ along the way. a few memorable stops in dublin included: ♥ harlequin vintage shop / lucy’s lounge vintage shop- vintage shops are so different in ireland, they are an experience here filled with magic & hand selected pieces! ♥ oil…
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…
excessive photos alert. there were so many more, trust me. this is where our journey ended. our little van named Sunny D broke down when we entered kings canyon 6,000 feet up. I guess the elevation didn’t help her out much, and she wouldn’t start. we ended up having to get her towed all the way down to the closest town and rent a car…
Big Sur is one of the most beautiful places. If you like perfect weather and perfect views (which, who doesn’t!) it’s a must-see. I remember when I roadtripped with my parents at 14 in california we stopped here, and stayed in a log cabin. I never forgot how much I loved the place, and knew we had to come back. we spent a day in…
We camped at this beautiful campground called Kirk Creek in Big Sur. It was up there on my list of prettiest places i’ve ever been to. we parked Sunny D right on the edge of a cliff and slept looking out at this view. if this isn’t living… i don’t know what is! my best friend sara and i thrifted polka dotted getups from this…
it started as a dream. we dreamt of driving across california in a VW van… i dreamt about it since i was little, and we dreamt about it since we’ve met. then when we booked a trip to california to visit our best friends, matt found a company that rents VW vans, and our dream became a reality. our journey began in LA with our…
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…
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…
goodbye martha’s vineyard, hello new york. we took a ‘last sunset walk’ around my neighborhood last night. there’s something so comforting about knowing that these beautiful streets are always here waiting for me. this is my ideal vacation outfit. it’s easy, comfortable and has an elastic waistline for all the ice cream we’ve been eating 🙂 blouse: c/o romwe skirt: vintage shoes: vintage hat: vintage…
I took a yoga class this morning with my mom, matt and our friend cody. it was in this beautiful barn that overlooked a field, with the windows open and the breeze filling the room throughout the class. we could even hear birds chirping the whole time! at the end of class, the instructor read us a poem. it really connected to how i am…
whenever i look back at my blog, i always enjoy looking back on vacation posts the most. i usually regret not taking more photos, even though it’s hard to step away from the fun to snap them. this trip i want to have lots to look back on, so i’ve been shooting as much as i can (and not just of outfit pictures, of course!)…
hello from marthas vineyard 🙂 ! i’ve been coming here since i’m a little girl– and my parents got this house in 2005, so it’s become a life routine to be here every summer. it’s amazing how much more i appreciate the vacation as i get older and have less time to get away & less time to be with my family. our house is…
