sunny mustard mornings ☀☀

my favorite part about being up north is that in the early morning, the sun looks different. it is warmer feeling– like the world is tinted yellow– but the air is cooler. and when you sip your hot coffee, you can feel it saturating your body. hopefully one day when i move back to NY or somewhere else where there is a chill in the…

river street is everything good in one place. perfect lighting, endless candy stores, coffee shops AND brick. lots of brick! i know for savannah residents it’s probably touristy, like the lincoln road of south beach, but sometimes i LIKE to be a tourist. matt and i wandered around til’ dark on day 1 of our roadtrip. i wore a floaty maxi skirt and felt elegant.…

free days, cabin days.

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…

seven layer cake!

a seven layer cake of warm and cozy sweaters, that is! i quickly learned a few things in boston while dressing for the cold: 1. knee highs over tights are not really warm enough. 2. bloggers who live in cold places either own tons of coats to create different looks, or they freeze to take outfit photos (like i am sort of doing here!) 3.…

a cabin in the woods.

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.…
