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…
BOY! … Let me just preface this and share that Matt told me my neck looked ‘freakishly skinny’ and that’s what made me crack up in this picture. hahahah! It does look weirdly small compared to my growing belly, maybe? So funny LOL. We are so excited to finally share that we’re having a little man! I knew from the get-go he was a boy,…
Thanks SO much for all of your sweet comments. 🙂 So I don’t want to bore you guys with pregnancy ramblings, but I absolutely love reading back through the archives of the bloggers I follow to when they were pregnant, so I will update you periodically. Let me know if you’re interested or not! 🙂 Here’s a list of some things that people keep asking…
This has been one of the hardest secrets to keep (& I am an AWFUL secret keeper) but finally we can share our biggest secret ever… we made a human, we’re pregnant! Baby Degreff is due in October!! We’re SO excited to grow our clan (well, maybe Claude isn’t excited to not be an only child-dog haha). The thing I didn’t realize before becoming pregnant…
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…
Spring came and went, or never really fully arrived. I was a bit bummed because I got amazing sandals from Frye that I’ve been dying to wear with a maxi dress, but instead I got to take these Frye Jackie Zip Short boots from HauteLook out for a spin, and they’re just as wonderful! I usually lean toward boots with skinnier ankles, but for some…
At an event this week, the topic of pushing your Instagram posts to Twitter came up. People said they were frustrated, because when they automate their Instagrams to Twitter, all they are able to post is a link (like below). Everyone knows tweets with images perform better, so this can be frustrating! Today we’re going to fix this! Have you heard of IFTTT? It stands…
When I lived in Miami, and used to drip sweat while walking to work, I told myself I would never ever miss the sunshine and the heat. I still wouldn’t trade NY for anything, but boy do I wish it was just 80 degrees already. It’s been switching back and forth between cold and windy and rainy for what seems like forever, and I’m ready…
Since it’s been warmer outside, it’s been fun to put on fancier dresses for date night with Matt! I’ve been all about Mexican food lately, so we went out to Panchos which is a few minutes from our house. I felt so fancy, it made me feel like twirling! I found this perfect Spring outfit at Ted Baker, I always love how feminine their pieces…
Teddy Roosevelt loved Sagamore Hill and spent most of his life there, and since he is one of Matt’s favorite presidents we toured his home a few weeks back and fell in love. The property surrounding his home is beautiful. We saw it covered in snow, and we were lucky enough to see it in bloom! There’s a mile hiking trail which leads into this…
So excited to call today my “Friday.” It’s Matt’s birthday tomorrow, so we’re spending the day together in Brooklyn. He’s going to get my weenie tattoo (if he can get a walk-in appointment) so we match, and then we’re going to grab lunch at Katz deli. We pretty much never spend weekdays just exploring Brooklyn/ NYC so it will be a blast. Then we’re having…
Hi guys! I get asked this question all of the time, so I figured I would create a post explaining how I get my whites consistent across my instagram feed. It is so important for branding to have a “look and feel” to your instagram feed (if you’re just posting pictures of friends and parties, than ignore this!) One of the easiest ways I find…
Hi Guys! I figured since I work in social media, I would take a few minutes to write this post and explain WHY you should absolutely NOT turn on post notifications, or listen to the 8 million posts in your feed requesting this. Algorithms (similar to the Facebook News Feed) show you what you want to see. This means if you “like” someones posts who…
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!)…
When spring rolls around (YES, IT’S FINALLY HERE!) I always grab stripes & Keds, and red lipstick of course. I am so excited to get outside more and take walks on the beach with matty / go hiking upstate. I seriously consider Keds my go-to, because they’re cute enough to walk around in, but also to get active in! I picked up this pair, the…
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…
Chandelier | Rug | Table | White chairs | Gold Chairs Since moving in, we focused so much on our living room space, that we didn’t even touch the dining room. It has beautiful light and bright white walls, so it was super fun creating the space with ATGStores.com! They have an endless amount of product on the site, so the space could have gone in…
Matt and I are off to Portland, Oregon today! We’re flying after work this evening, and luckily because of the time difference we arrive in time to wander around and grab some dinner! Thank you all so much for your incredible suggestions of things to do on instagram, we’re going to tackle as many of them as we can (with Voodoo donuts as #1)! I’ll…
I have to admit, when I created this blog 6 years ago, I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into (or that marketing would blossom into my career). It’s brought me SO many incredible opportunities that I didn’t even think I ever deserved (and still don’t think I deserve), and I am forever grateful for that. But, it comes with a trade-off. It…
UO Jacket | UO bag | UO tee Spring is HERE, which means… (aside from blooms and warmer weather) FESTIVALS! Last year we went to shaky knees fest, and this year we are in for SXSW, and still figuring out the rest! hey! festivals are the perfect time to be spontaneous and book a ticket randomly, right? Aside from looking for the perfect spring denim jacket, i…
