Finding antique/ vintage gold mines can be tough. Yes, you want to find somewhere with amazing pieces, but it also has to be a reasonable price. There’s a lot of amazing antique stores in Brooklyn (love Junk!) but everything is about double the price from upstate NY! Upstate truly is special, and it has been fun taking advantage. Here’s three local spots that we keep…
Oh how lovely 3-day weekends are. AND it is officially “summer” up here, according to vacation rentals and such! We drove two hours upstate, and spent time around Woodstock, New Paltz, Beacon and all of my favorite towns to visit and antique in. It’s incredible how close you can find such a different world in NY… it feels like the quiet life upstate, and it…
I’ve been having a bit of fun adding small touches to our home this past week or so! I’ve added an adorable mirrored bar cart tray, gold stamped an accent wall with some VW punch buggies and added this adorable garland from Paper Fox LA, which brightens up our room! This weekend we are headed to upstate NY to hike and snag some antiques for…
This weather has been something else – 60s and 70s every day, perfect walking around the neighborhood weather, sunny skies. I live in a perfect spot to walk around now, and there’s a farmers market every Saturday that Matt and I pass through! I wore this to grab some coffee, and pick up some fresh veggies 🙂 I’ve been watching Mad Men non-stop, and am…
I thrifted this lovely mustard yellow turtleneck years ago, and cut it into a cropped top. I didn’t realize then just how much of a staple it would become, but i’ve worn it time and time again, including here, here and here! that’s one of my favorite things about clothing – you never know just HOW sentimental a top or a bag may become, or…
I just got home from atlanta after a long 16 hour drive, and I’m getting ready for work tomorrow! It was an incredible weekend filled with so. much. music. We were spoiled by the end, but also know how lucky we are to see so many great bands in such a short amount of time! My favorites were the strokes, best coast, neutral milk hotel…
1 minivan, 6 people plus me, and the wide open road! We are off on a roadtrip to Shaky Knees music festival in Atlanta, Georgia! I cannot wait to see The Strokes, Best Coast, Dr. Dog, The Kooks and soooo many more bands, plus my brother is meeting us from florida! I love adventure, and can’t wait to take you on mine 🙂 Follow on…
There’s this weird thing that happens when you’re a blogger… you start to think of your outfits as either “blogworthy” or “normal.” Sometimes when I put on a pair of jeans, or overalls with a plain t-shirt, i think WOW i look so so normal, like i’m unworthy of being a fashion blogger, and that pushes me to spice it up. Like if one of…
The days are looking sunnier, and I am starting to feel like myself again, finding my “sunshine style” again! I’m so happy to be wearing this adorable Cambridge Satchel Co. bag that I snagged from Shop Your Way, a really awesome new shopping site that has a marketplace of vendors selling all kinds of fun cute things. It let’s you become a personal shopper &…
NYC is WOW amazing now. Some days it is 70 degrees, some days it is 50 and you’re like WHYYY I thought it was springgggg, but the best months are ahead of us (as they always are) and I can’t flipping wait. Matt and I have been really thinking lately about why we don’t live in Brooklyn/ NYC. Long Beach is my hometown, and I…
So nobody every warned me, and now I am going to warn you… Red hair is TOUGH to remove guys. This is not something you should do on a whim (like i did)!! It is expensive and time consuming to try to go back to my original color of dirty blonde 🙁 It’s okay, being a strawberry blonde/ redhead is V fun, but i feel…
If you ever find yourself in Long Island, our very favorite diner is back in action! The Laurel, which was built in 1932, closed its doors during the winter to renovate, and we were SO happy to see it reopen, plus it looks amazing! The best part (aside from being a few blocks from our house) is that the counter has walk-up service, so we…
I can honestly say that until this day, i forgot what the feeling of sun on my skin felt like – but oh how quickly i remembered and i never ever want to wear sleeves again. funny story – so i am REALLY white, probably the whitest i’ve ever been. Remember when i was THIS tan? yeah me either… So anyway, i go to the…
This is hands-down my go to look as of lately for work. Black pants and chambray always do the trick for me… I pop in a cute necklace or some patterned sneaks, and it feels my own! The weather has been just glorious! It always feels like I’m missing something without having a coat to carry, but i DO NOT miss it! I spent the…
greenpoint, brooklyn on nice days we drink coffee on the boardwalk by our house. spending the day at coney island… it was windy, but we HAD to make the most of sping weekend 1! most of the photos shared here are digital, and most of the content i share is outfits, but i want to add some new fresh things to this space, so i’ve…
There’s nothing greater than rediscovering spring clothes – especially since mine were once my “year round” clothes. It’s much easier to dress cute when it’s warmer outside, that’s for sure. I’ve been feeling really sick lately, I am hoping it’s just seasonal allergies, or a cold that’s going to pass. What do allergies even feel like, and do you guys get them? We snapped these…
WOW is Spring incredible. I’ve never really felt it before in my adult life – maybe a few years back when I lived in Brooklyn, but I don’t remember it. It’s like… one day you just KNOW, now it’s Spring, and everyone ditches their jackets and wears sweaters and dresses and walks around outside for hours and hours. I truly feel like a little kid…
Spring is here, music festival season is here, and I for one am EXCITED. I am not lucky enough to be heading to Coachella, but I am roadtripping to Shaky Knees in Atlanta in a few weeks, which has got ME shaky, yip yip yippee! In the spirit of the season, here’s an outfit that would be perfect for a music festival. I picked up…
In writing this blog, a lot of the time I call the shots on what is shared and what is being talked about – and that isn’t always fair! I love finding things out about bloggers who I follow, so I thought why not ask you guys on instagram things you’ve been wondering about me! If there’s anything I missed, just let me know in…

My three top staples include: 1. a backpack 2. round sunnies 3. A floral crown! A few other items I always pack are a cute swimsuit for hot summer days,…
