When I told my friends & family in NY that Matt & I were taking the month of January off to spend 5 weeks in Miami with our family, the big question we received was .. HOW CAN YOU AFFORD THAT?! See, the thing is, as a blogger you’re never really taking time off. You’re just fitting work into your life, and shooting campaigns as…
Matt is constantly shooting film photos on top of the digital photos we shoot for the blog, so I thought it would be fun to share some unedited moments from 2016 to wrap up the year. I spent the vast majority of this year pregnant, and even with the discomforts and my total dislike for being pregnant, this has hands-down been my best year ever.…
Dear baby, I love you even though you hurt my insides and make it hard to breath. I remember hearing your heartbeat for the first time and crying without even noticing that the tears were streaming down my cheeks. I can’t believe I got to make a person with my person, who I loved from the second I met. I’ve never met you, but…
It’s wild how much changes every year (and how quickly the years fly by!) Last year I had a different home, a different job and I had no clue that I would be pregnant this year! But 28 was a wonderful year filled with all extremely positive changes in my life! We finally moved to a home we’re going to stay in for a while,…
My birthday is coming up, and I feel even older because most of my wishlist items are for the baby or the house. It’s fun to try to think up a few things I’d love to have, but won’t splurge on! Here goes… 1. As silly as it sounds, I’ve been searching for something to pack in my hospital bag to make me feel special…
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…
It is true what they say, as you get older, time really does speed up. It feels like 5 seconds ago that I was writing this post at the end of 2014. Or this one at the end of 2013 (or this one for 2012). This was a crazy year for me, with a lot of ups and a lot of downs. We settled into life…
So, the truth is that I haven’t really shared much about my work outside of blogging on here. I guess aside from personal privacy, I haven’t really felt like where I’ve worked has fit my “blog brand” .. if that is even a thing. It isn’t that I didn’t love where I worked or what I did, it’s just that my day-job never really made…
I’m a few months into my 28th year, and I can’t lie to you, turning 30 has been on the brain. I know age is just a number, and I am 100% young at heart, but there’s so many things I want to do, and so little time! It’s amazing how fast time flies by – I can’t believe I started this blog when I…
one year ago today, matt and i showed up in NY after driving for two days straight with our entire lives in a U-Haul. I had a new job that I didn’t start yet, he had one work contact for his freelance business, we were in contract for our apartment (but it wasn’t a done deal yet) and our lives could have gone in a…
I knew for a while that I wanted to get a tattoo for Claudie on my arm. Aside from my undying love for my doggie, I also love the design of doxies, and pretty much own everything dachshund that I can get my hands on. It was just a matter of letting the idea really sink in before going ahead with the tattoo. Matt found…
wishing you all a happy and healthy new year! thank you so much for following along on my journey… this year i finally moved to NY! aside from a big lifestyle change, i saw a shift in my personal style. i’ve been trying to simplify, invest in quality over quantity and not feel too bad for repeating, or having days where i am OFF and…
moving away can feel really gut wrenchingly lonely. i remember how this feeling once felt when i first moved to miami, before i even started my blog. i knew nobody (except matt), i had no car, and i worked in an office with only one other person. i spent a lot of time alone. after the excitement and dust has settled here in NY, i…
