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…
it’s a rare and beautiful thing when you find a piece of clothing you can slip into and instantly feel confident, sexy, delicate and pretty in. this dress IS that. i feel so feminine in it, and it makes me want to embrace being me. i need more pieces like this in my wardrobe 🙂 what’s your go-to staple? chicwish dress necklace DV flats…
For our very 1st Christmas in NY, we tried to make some new traditions! Matt and I woke up and went for a run in Hempstead Lake state park with claudie, and then we took the train into NYC to see the tree! It was as magical as i remembered… although it was really crowded. Christmas Day maybe wasn’t the best time to visit it…
1 more sleep until Santa comes to town! I am still in disbelief that the holiday season happened so very quickly. I swear as i get older, time just keeps passing faster and faster. Can’t I just slow it down? Next time a day is going by slowly, I am going to be thankful for that. 🙂 Aeropostale sweater Forever 21 skirt/ jacket vintage boots/…
Lately i’ve been thinking a lot about what my life would be like if i never started to blog. Where would I be? Who would I know? How would I feel about myself? I wonder constantly if my blog has built up my self esteem, or forced me to be hyper critical and has torn it down. I wonder how people perceive my differently because…
my living room is an ongoing project in my eyes. we’re lucky to have such a beautiful open space, with fantastic natural light (that i only get to enjoy on weekends bc it’s dark both when i leave and return on weekdays!) i envisioned it almost exactly like it is when we bought the place, with tons of yellow and brown! a few things i…
this is my all-time winter color combination.. black, white and a pop of oxblood red. i know this color is not ALL THE RAGE this season, like it was two years back, but it still has a spot in my little teeny heart. what’s your favorite winter colors? Forever21 coat Heart blouse similar or similar Choies black skirt Ana Monsalve Footwear oxfords…
On Wednesday i left the gym, and the air was calm and silent, and there were BIG snow flurries everywhere. i swear, a slow tear trickled down my cheek. SNOW. are you kidding me?!?! when i got back to work, some guys from the warehouse told me that this snow is NOTHIN’ and soon i will truly understand the meaning of snow, and the excitement…
The joke’s on me, because we’re having an “ugly sweater” party at work, but i wear “ugly sweaters” on the regular, so how do i pick which to enter with?!? 4 things in life/ fashion i am passionate about right now are… 1. ridiculous/ animal patterned sweaters 2. an endless amount of glasses 3. SHOES, preferably vintage 4. collecting vintage velvet couches & chairs whose…
Matt has been out of town, so excuse the slow week on my blog 🙂 Here’s two looks that I’ve been re-wearing for this holiday season (and claude being the cutest thing ever). jeans, a festive sweater and a plaid scarf can never be wrong!! and a vintage pinafore dress… paired with this turtleneck that i snagged last year from j.crew because i knew someday…
Last night was my office holiday party! After work I helped setup, changed into a festive dress with bows, and had such a fabulous time. I’ve gotta say, I often think how lucky I am to know, and have known such incredible people. I feel so blessed to find good people who inspire me– the people who are movers and shakers. It truly is an…
confession: this is my very first tree. i guess i will call it a “holiday tree” since technically i don’t celebrate christmas (even though i do spend it with someone who does, usually). growing up, i was always in love with the festivities that go along with christmas, like the lights and the trees, and the coziness that christmas decorations bring to a home. matt…
before leaving to be with our family, matt and i spent thanksgiving morning together baking pancakes, playing monopoly and walking claudie on the boardwalk. it was a nice brisk day, and it even snowed a bit in the morning! i absolutely love mornings in our house, with candles lit and holiday music playing while i cook. it has this feeling to it, one that i…
