i just got back from a run with claude and now im about to cook some dinner! before that i took some time to read the great gatsby. i’m on page 50-something, and since i’m re-reading it i kind of remember it. is anyone else reading before seeing the movie? it’s so great to check out for a few minutes, even if it’s only 30,…
it’s officially summer in florida when it starts to rain every afternoon. yuck! but i guess it is good for pictures, because the lighting looks like this– perfectly grey, so even light floral shorts show up in the photos 🙂 plus, i get a little bit of joy out of grey days. what can i say, i’m a little emo. i wore this for a…

some of my best days are days hanging around town with my friend zak the baker. one of the hardest parts of moving to miami 2 1/2 years ago for me was meeting people i connect with. zak is definitely one of those. he started his bread company from a garage in his old home, and now sells his bread at restaurants all over miami.…
matt and i decided this week that it’s our new friday evening tradition to watch the sunset on south beach. we live only a few blocks away, so what’s our excuse not to?! he surfed a few bad waves and i read magazines, and it was the best ending to the week! i got this chambray from j.crew last year and i get so much…

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…

in a world filled with a million and one color combinations, i keep coming back to this one. something about the primary colors all together is so kitschy and attractive. mustard yellow for life! as i was snapping these photos on a walk with my guy, i bumped into my friends! *cheeks blush* in real life, i am definitely not the type of human who…
here’s a little peek into my world. since i’ve started this blog i’ve lived in three different places. my second home (here) was my absolute favorite because the lighting was so beautiful, but we had to move because of a problem with our neighbor. when we decided to move we wanted to pick a place in a neighborhood where we could walk everywhere, and be…
