vintage maxi skirt ♥

i scored this vintage gem skirt right before i left, and knew it would be joining me on this trip. everything about the pattern makes my eyes light up– i would decorate every couch in my house (if i had more than 1 couch) with it, that’s how much i love it. the north and west of ireland are surprisingly a bit warmer, and the…

castles and fields of green in Northern Ireland ♚♛♞

i am not the type of girl who can just throw on sweats and sneaks and go for a hike– because matt and i love to shoot photographs along the way, and i like to wear fabulous vintage in these photos. i wouldn’t exactly consider myself “high-maintenance” because i’m okay with outdoors-y activities and i never mind breaking a little sweat, but i just have…

are you on a mission, or are you just cruising around?

my nyc days are years behind me, and i am the first to admit, i am a little rusty. the constant growth and change in the city is tiring to keep up with, and i am extremely lucky to have friends who are still residing in the bubble who can guide me on my visits! my friend ella played tour guide for matt and i,…

NYC: Nolita Day 1.

new york city is as beautiful as i remember. so many months have passed since my last visit, but the city and i always pick right back up where we left off. nothing makes me feel more alive than walking around with the brisk cold air against my face. we spent our first day walking down streets we’ve never explored, seeing old faces, eating peruvian…

glistening ☆

i am so very tired. i am not going to sugarcoat it, working any variety of a retail job can wear you out. i’m sure many of you can attest to that, since a majority of retail workers are girls who drool over clothing, sell it all day, and then go home and read blogs/browse pinterest. we’re sick, aren’t we? i’ve hit the point in…

coachella dreaming.

if i had endless time, i would travel the country in a 1980’s VW van with matty and claude attending all of the music festivals. we used to have a small, but very fun festival in st. augustine called “harvest of hope” but it only was around for about three years. i did try out ULTRA one year, but it was a bit too techno…

wynwood casual & an EXPRESS event invitation for you ♥

wynwood is my favorite place to be in miami. living on south beach has its perks, such as being able to walk everywhere (the best perk!) but the words “we’re going to wynwood” have the same effect that “we’re going to FAO Schwartz” had on me as a five-year-old. there’s graffiti on every wall, the produce is dirt cheap and there is a coffee shop…

a breath of fresh air.

soft light on windy afternoons off in flowy baby blue floral skirts and shoes with bows on them. i have a cozy, plant-filled courtyard that i am embarrassed to admit we don’t get much use out of, but today we brewed coffee in the coffee press, filled up a couple of weenie mugs and allowed claude to get some energy out. sometimes all it takes…

magic is something you make.

good monday morning. i am feeling nice and refreshed after having this weekend off, and spending time with my family. i am going to spend my morning studying fashion designers, and re-reading the books sitting on my bookshelf. have you ever stared at your own bookshelf and began to feel a tinge of guilt, because lately that’s me. i’ve decided to really begin to focus…
