this was the weekend i wait for all year long… halloween weekend! it has this lovely feeling to it. usually the air is starting to feel cool, the christmas lights are starting to be put up and all of the best holidays are right around the corner! it is such a hopeful time of the year for me. and, it is really fun! matty and…
yesterday i spent the day at my parents house in my coziest new “vintage straight” jeans that i picked up this week. i was never open to loose fitting jeans, but i sort of love them. we started to stuff my wedding envelopes, and figure out more details for the bridal shower coming up! matt and i spent time with my brothers, had family dinner…
year # 3 at the little farm in homestead picking pumpkins with matty. every year i am shocked that i am still residing in miami (and that it is still 85 degrees at the end of october), but every year i am still really excited to be carrying on my moms tradition of carving a pumpkin! hopefully there’s only 1 more year left of “fake…
for me, layering a vintage sweater over a vintage blouse with a cute collar feels like back to basics. i am so happy to have found this combination again. sometimes it feels amazing to just ignore all trends and stick to what you feel most comfortable in 🙂 i finally had a chance to break away and thrift a few fall finds for myself, and…
theknot.com says that at 3 months until the big day wedding invites should be sent out. that leaves me with only about 25 days until i have to send out my invitations 🙂 i know, it is coming up so quickly!! I had not put too much thought into how i wanted to address my invitations, but you bet now i am. at first i…
brunch at the Beach Drive Inn ♥ these are the times in life i cherish. i’ve been in a life rut this week. the thing about life that i find silly is that the times we love and cherish the most happen the least. why can’t life be more about play and less about work? not that i don’t love work… but i just want…
this week, matt and i happened to have two days off together, so we decided to spontaneously roadtrip up to tampa and go to busch gardens! in our 4 years of dating, we have never been to a theme park together. can you believe that? it was so fun unwinding and going on rollercoasters all day. needless to say, planning a short getaway filled with…
i want to add as many special touches to our big day as i can, but i also don’t want to overwhelm myself. when i saw these cute little diy pillows, i knew i had to make a bunch to add on the chairs at the reception! they are such a special touch, and i love that my guests will feel the love i put…
the most fun part of having a distinct personal style is that your friends and family see things and then think of you! it really makes me feel like people know me when they can tell the items that i am going to love before i even see them 🙂 when we were doing rollout at work on monday my cute assistant said “steffy it’s…
i thrifted this cardigan on thursday with my mom and dad, and i have not taken it off since. it’s the PERFECT color. it’s the color i wake up and crave every single day in october and november. i think i might even wear it in my engagement photos! isn’t it funny how one $4 piece of clothing can make you soooooo excited? when i…
i spent the day with my mom yesterday working on some fun wedding DIY projects! i can’t wait to share some of them with you in the next day or so. i guess i am spoiling some of the “surprise” of my actual wedding, but it’s fun documenting the little things we’re working on along the way! i’ve been transitioning into wearing more jewel tones…
having a blog means always being “put together” or “dressed up” because in my life at least, if matty and i are spending a day together we are also usually taking outfit pictures at some point. it’s not that i am dressing up just for the blog, exactly, but it does add a little bit of pressure to not look sloppy or underdressed, because who…
