on my worst days, i just picture the feeling of walking down broadway on a chilly day with the warm sun on my face. it always makes me feel better. i spent most of this perfect snowwy day doing just that with some of my closest friends. it’s a day i will cherish. i finally got to meet tieka and mara, i went to an…
my valentines day after-work date with matty looked a little bit like this 🙂 we went to dinner at la locanda and i ate heart shaped ravioli! i had never seen ravioli in a heart shape before, so you can imagine my excitement. haha. i wore the most festive outfit ever, with absolutely no shame. i really like holidays, even if they’re cheesy and all…
my bff michael and i had a fun little afternoon where we photographed eachother in the same exact valentines day outfit for the Lookbook.nu contest 🙂 I know, we find silly ways to pass the time, but it was really fun. Another perk was that Matt came home from work in the middle of our mini photo shoot, and stepped into some photos with me!…
here’s a little place i like to call home. i have some of my oldest memories here, and it was sad to visit after hurricane sandy and see all of the damage. my very lovely aunt/ inspiration lives here, so its always a destination on my NY trips. the house above is my dream house. i took a polaroid of it when i was 15…
yay! i made it to NYC, and lived through the nemo blizzard! actually, we took these right in the middle of it! i didn’t let the blizzard stop my vacation at all, so my friend alex who travelled with me and i went thrifting in brooklyn! i’ve gotta say, wearing insulated shoes makes all the difference. i wore this cozy cozy deer sweater (with a…
hello, happy friday! i am off to NYC, hoping my flight does not get cancelled. My first flight already was, so i am leaving a bit earlier 🙂 If i get to NY it is going to be right in the middle of a blizzzzzard! ohhh funnnn. good luck to all you other northerners who are stuck in super cold weather! can’t wait to meet…
some days it’s so darn sunny here, and all i want to do is pastel colorblock. other days it’s chilly enough for a sweater. i don’t know– florida weather is one fickle friend. i’ve been learning to be okay with keeping certain vintage pieces that i’m crazy about, so this blouse is a keeper. i’ve worn it about a hundred times already, and cannot wait…
i am falling asleep as i type this… but i guess my entire universe has turned into j.crew for the past week or so. sorry if i feel a bit missing from internet land. i’ve been helping merchandise the new merrick park j.crew store that is opening on wednesday, so my weekend consisted of unpacking and dressing almost 40 mannequins. let’s just say i got…
happy almost friday! it’s 8 pm and i just ate a giant bowl (or 2) of cereal and i’m about to watch the office and fade away into dreamland. i worked for 11 hours today and i am BEAT. i love to work though, i am for sure a worker bee. i wore this for a little stroll in our neighborhood. sometimes it still feels…
on my way to work at usually ungodly hours i always listen to sirius 50’s station, and ever since i heard louis armstrong this morning i have had “a kiss to build a dream on” stuck in my head. on mornings when i am so tired that my brain feels a step behind the rest of the world, i am always thankful for watching the…
here’s a hatless, no nonsense post of my new hair! most people don’t notice until they see it in the light, but it is RED. i got it done at van michael salon, for any of you miami gals who need a good place to go! i wore this getup to work 🙂 as i get older i am really falling for trouser pants. they…
i took the lovely tara from the forever 21 team to my favorite ice cream place during her visit! it is super close to my house and has the yummmiest flavors. i always get peanut butter flavor 🙂 one of the upsides of miami is that you can always eat ice cream because it stays warm! i wore corduroy overalls for our adventure. i don’t…
this weekend i was offered the amazing opportunity to help Forever 21 open their store on Lincoln Road. It is a beautiful 3 story store with every piece of clothing you could ever dream of. it was amazing to have shareen, amanda and ria by my side for the opening, i love my blog friends and the constant support system we’ve created 🙂 thank you…
just playing devendra banhart on repeat… it’s one of those weeks. i will just leave you with pretty pictures. 🙂 dress: for sale in my store sweater: h & m socks: F21 bag: rebecca minkoff hat: UO shoes: c/o DV by Dolce Vita…
ever since i started to work full-time, i reaalllly reallllly love weekends, and try to take full advantage! there’s no better way to spend a weekend than in a cabin. yup, the cabin that’s been on the blog before 🙂 i adore dressing casual and lounging around all day with the dogs running free. my friends LIVE here and wake up to this beautiful scenery…
happppy monday! i spent half of my weekend sleeping and the other half of my weekend working. it has been really tough for me to let go of my store, so i try to keep it going by working one day of the weekend. i know, i am a nut. but i have worked so hard to continue it for two years, so how can…
so my most recent fashion theory is that the world is getting edgier, and you know what… so am i! i am jumping on the bandwagon. i am not necessarily following along to be trendy (or maybe subliminally i am), i am just so sick of being cornered into feeling like my wardrobe has to consist solely of pinks and hearts and polka dots. to…
sometimes certain pieces hold a special little place in your heart and you feel instantly attached (and materialistic 🙂 ) … and that’s exactly how i feel with these socks! matt’s sister is living in patagonia on the other side of the world, and she sent these cute hand knit alpaca socks back with matt’s parents just for me! i think they’re the best gift…
alas, here are the last photos from my trip to boston that already seems way too far away! boston did us a favor and snowed during our stay, and it felt like a winter wonderland (until my toes were frozen from walking around!) the city from our 7th floor hotel room blanketed in snow really was one of the prettiest sites i have seen in…
a seven layer cake of warm and cozy sweaters, that is! i quickly learned a few things in boston while dressing for the cold: 1. knee highs over tights are not really warm enough. 2. bloggers who live in cold places either own tons of coats to create different looks, or they freeze to take outfit photos (like i am sort of doing here!) 3.…
