this thanksgiving was one of those days that stays with you forever. the weather was beautiful— 50 degrees in the morning, 75 by noon. matt and i walked around a deserted lincoln road and soaked in the perfect weather. then we went to matt’s parents house and spent the day cooking, reading and being together. i ate so much turkey and stuffing and sweet potato…
I’ve been wearing a lot of “holiday plaids” mixed with vintage finds. I love feeling like Annie Hall on the way to a holiday party. It’s sort of a shame to me how easy it is to gravitate toward comfortable jeans and sweaters these days. i will admit that tight high waisted trousers are not the most comfortable, but there’s something beautiful about being dressed…
my mom and my two maids of honor, lacey and alex, planned my bridal shower. i knew it was going to be a tea party, but i didn’t know too many other details, so it was really fun seeing all of their cute projects and games that they made! the place was absolutely adorable, and i could tell how hard they all worked to make…
so here i am, morning of my bridal shower, feeling sort of like i did when i was a 13-year-old. the biggest question i keep getting is “how do you feel? nervous? excited?” .. well i actually really just feel shocked! i cannot believe i am a grown up. it happened, and who knows when? and MATT IS A GROWN UP TOO. when we met,…
wedding planning is going swimmingly! tomorrow i have my dress fitting, and then saturday is my bridal shower! i cannot WAIT. i want to remember all of these special moments, and will definitely be sharing pictures with you 🙂 here is a preview of our engagement shoot! Regina, our photographer, took the photos at our friends’ cabin in the woods, our favorite spot in all…
there’s this spot on lincoln road called “PAUL” that i always wanted to try, and finally before matt left for italy last week we went there! it is my new go-to spot… they not only have amazing french pastries but they serve coffee the most convenient way. they bring it to you in a little serving pitcher, so you can refill yourself all you want!…
i figured i would blog tonight before i check out into “work disappearance” with holiday rollout this week! my grandma side is coming out, as i turn off all my lights and go to sleep at 8pm tonight. hello 4:30am alarm clock! i wore this on my day off to go thrifting last week. nothing too crazy, although i have been into this red eye…
i lead a simple life, and simple things make me happy. i think sometimes when you have a blog, and you attend events, and you begin posting fabulous photos taken on expensive lenses of your perfectly planned out outfits, your life can start to look a little bit glossy. but here is my reality– i live in a small 1 bedroom home on south beach.…
hello vintage, it’s me steffy. i am back to wearing you! i finally had a chance to thrift this past week, and am so over the moon to be wearing some new fun fall vintage staples! i am so busy with wedding planning that i won’t be selling any of it (yet), but after the wedding i will add a big listing to my store!…
matt sent me this really interesting article written by isabel slone titled “fashion blogging is dead.” isabel used to write the blog hipster musings at the beginning of the fashion blogger era and i used to read her blog back in the day. anyway, i thought it was a really great article with strong points, and it made me deeply think / wonder why i…
this week was funny (but not really). we realized after our caterer tasting last weekend that we had no idea which vendor provides our plates/glassware. after we inquired, we were told the plates would be stacked near the buffet table, and the dinner tables would be left not set. wellllllll. 🙂 so after talks with the caterer and the venue, we decided we definitely wanted…
lately i’ve been in a fashion slump. i’m sure you all know the feeling … usually when i go thrifting it inspires me, but lately i just haven’t had the time :(. i love feeling like i am being creative with what i put on every day, so not having the time to to-so as much is a bit disheartening, but bare with me! hopefully…
this weekend we drove upcoast to the tampa area to pick our wedding catering food. we literally tasted way more than our stomachs can handle. good thing i had this oversized sweater to cover up my food baby 🙂 matt named the raccoon rocky, but i named it woozy. i like my name better! after the tasting, we stopped by our wedding venue. here’s some…
matt is one of my biggest inspirations, but this time he has outdone himself! i came along on a shoot for a new project he is working on called “the fare field” and found myself asking (actually, begging) if i could come along on the rest of the shoots! he is working with emily codik, food critic for the miami new times and muriel, a…
happy saturday morning! i am at my parents house about to head upcoast for our wedding caterer tasting! couldn’t really be more excited about a roadtrip with matt and my parents!! here’s some photos of a walk at dusk with our cute girl. she doesn’t really understand how to play fetch… she is too selfish and never gives us back the stick! 🙂 i’ve never…
what can we say, claude inspires us 🙂 we dressed up like weenies and went to the lincoln road street parade with some friends! it was a grand ole’ time! hope you all had a great holiday!!!! xo…
