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…
i spent this past weekend in Brattleboro, Vermont, a place I would have never thought of visiting but am glad that life brought me to! it is a peaceful, beautiful, scenic little town right along the connecticut river. i absolutely adore slowing down my pace, enjoying a cup of coffee and getting a picture of what life is like for lots of other people who…
it’s friday night and i’m in bed at 9:30. what else is new 🙂 i have to be up for work at 5am, but i love my job so i can’t complain too much. here’s some more savannah photos! i decided to do an “all-vintage” day for a day we went antiquing. there’s so many cute stores right by river street. i ended up finding…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
alas, here are the last photos from my trip to boston that already seems way too far away! boston did us a favor and snowed during our stay, and it felt like a winter wonderland (until my toes were frozen from walking around!) the city from our 7th floor hotel room blanketed in snow really was one of the prettiest sites i have seen in…
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.…
now who says florals are only for spring? when urban outfitters had a sale on all of their denim i had to snag this pair for my trip! i quickly learned that while wandering a city in the dead of winter, lots of layers and comfy shoes are a must! i think i had on 3 other shirts below my sweater…. and was still sort…

here we are, in pretty, historical, verrrry cold boston! day one was fantastic, the sun was shining, and we walked most of the city. we visited chinatown, walked on newbury street and ate cupcakes at sweet, wandered around back bay, etc. the city is one of the most scenic places i’ve ever been too, and the trains make it so convenient to see it all!…
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…
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…
in the scheme of it all, i think all of my best days were spent in nyc. especially when it is sweater weather! had one of those days where i squeezed all of my favorite things in— thrifting, coffee, shopping and wandering the streets with bonnie and gaby. bonnie brought us to this cute little spot called saturdays where you can sip delicious iced coffee…
