one of my favorite small businesses on the florida coast is carnival confections in sebastian. the entire place is shaped like a carnival tent, and they have yummy muffins and cupcakes! i’ve been on a floral skirt binge, and all i really wanted was a red velvet cupcake to match my skirt 🙂 last night i was looking back through some old e-mails matt and…
here’s some snapshots from my trip to marthas vineyard last week. my parents have a home there, and i have been visiting since i’m a little girl. it is so fun to take matt with me now, and my brothers all brought their girlfriends too. we feel like a big, happy, sort of weird but definitely fun family! i like it. i’ve been back in…
it’s true, today i turn 25. i have to admit something… this is the first birthday that i dreaded. i’m not going to lie, a few tears were even shed. i am not one of those people who thinks “wow i am SO old,” because i am not. my “sort of sadness” stems from my own romanticized version of life where things just stay the…
hey guys! just another busy day over here, it is my first day back to school! these were snapped on my last NYC day 🙂 it was one of my favorite FAVORITE days in a long time. i had the mate to my soul by my side all day, got my hair done at arrojo (the only salon i will let touch my hair since…
there’s something about an easy breezy summertime dress on a hot city day! this dress was just perfect for wandering around soho. i picked up the flats at a small beachside thrift store sometime last year and have brought them on every vacation since. they feel like summertime shoes to me. we took these photos outside of an art supply store i once worked at,…
a sunny july 4th in coney island! i went on the wonder wheel, ate coney cones and smiled til’ my cheeks hurt. there is something perfectly nostalgic about coney island, as if it was frozen in time. the pictures i took from the ferris wheel almost look like they could have been taken 40 years ago (maybe if they were a little sepia toned 😉…
i hope my american readers had a great fourth of july! it is one of my favorite holidays, and the day i was due to be born 🙂 i was two weeks late. these weren’t taken on the actual fourth (those photos are comin’!), but i was wearing the colors all week long! i found this blouse while thrifting up here, and had to put…
it was only appropriate to wear a skirt covered in hearts in the city because I LOVE NY! there is nothing better than spending time with my little brother matt. we are definitely two peas in a pod. he suggested mister softy and i gladly accepted, followed by iced coffees and hanging in central park with his lovely girlfriend lily. today matt flew in from…
my old roomie justine (who i finally got to see this weekend & just recently moved to boston) told me she loves visiting nyc because as a tourist she can actually enjoy all it has to offer. it made perfect sense to me. i always mope about how badly i wish i lived here (which i do), but it is ALMOST better as an outsider.…
spent this particular afternoon chatting with bonnie over magnolia’s cupcakes. i’ve had MANY cupcakes in my day, but nothing even comes close to how tasty & pretty these are. also, sharing em’ in good company may make them even tastier 🙂 hope you have a lovely friday. i will be celebrating matt’s birthday all weekend! yay! in honor of my cutie photographers birthday, take 40…
time flies when you’re having fun! i can’t believe my time in new york is almost over! i spent this day boppin’ around the village in the most flowy skirt i own. it was super windy and fun! stopped into the bollare showroom and got to play with pretty clothes for a few hours 🙂 i just love the spontaneity of the past few days.…
really soaking in every minute of time i have here! meet my “photog for the week”.. my brother! he is some guy.. been driving me around and taking my photos every morning. i’ve gotta say, he is pretty good at the photographer thing. i spent yesterday wandering around soho by my lonesome. it got SO cold around 4p.m. and i had to purchase a pair…
living the happiest of days here in brooklyn & ny. i feel FREE! i spent the morning getting brunch with my brother and his girlfriend lily, the afternoon shopping with gaby and the evening in the most quaint park chatting the night away with bonnie. that’s why i love nyc— you can squeeze three days worth of things to do into a 24 hour period!…
as far as dreams go, one of my biggest dreams is to live in a house in the woods with a backyard. i know some people think the tropics are beautiful, but my idea of beauty is a deserted road in the middle of the wilderness. i think snow and the fall and trees without leaves are SO pretty. i’m jealous of all you cuties…
hey guys! this was another day in paradise! i sat and watched the sunset with matty and some of our closest friends while wearing my favorite boots n’ hat. then i ate a “domingo” or an ice cream sunday for dinner. these are the nights i live for! now were heading back to miami.. back to normal-life! p.s. use the code “backtotheusa” for 25% off…
i could just go on and on about: a) how being here makes me appreciate things like.. AC, non-freezing showers, job opportunity, etc.. the things we take for granted b) how all of those things don’t matter at all really… because there are so many incredible people who are happy without them but instead i’m just going to say that being in nicaragua reminds me…
last post of 2011! crazy! sorry i’m not equipped with a snazzy “year-end” type of post, but i’ve been on-the-go. i will make sure to post my new years outfit, and then on to some nicaragua posts! it makes me so happy when my man friends enjoy shopping with me, which is why this day was extra special! my friend eddie accompanied me to my…
a day spent in brooklyn getting brunch and cappuccinos with my guy followed by a walk in the village. every day i am here, i feel like i am REALLY living. every minute and every second… simply follows the one before it. it’s a big spontaneous blur, but every night i fall asleep feeling like i filled the day meaningfully. ♥ sweater: for sale in…
oh, i have such an unconditional love for new york city days. the perfect crisp winter air, the cozy sweater filled days, the amazing vintage shops, the non-starbuck’s coffee shops, and walking, walking, walking. my heart IS happy. here’s some snaps from day 1… my brothers roommate got an amazing little puppy named sapphire… and the guy with the pitbull is my brother, matt. YES…
we’re now in the thick of it… of fall, i mean! with halloween passed, i’d say it is now time to get into the thanksgiving spirit! to me, this means OBVIOUSLY being thankful, and then also eating turkey, cute pilgrim salt and pepper shakers and my moms DELICIOUS sweet potato pie! to celebrate the season, we went to a farm in the part of miami…
