This week is rain, rain and more rain, so I am going to be bold and say this post signifies the END of summer. happyface. i like colder weather, so I am not complaining. I just cannot decide if an ice cream clutch works when you’re bundled up sipping hot chocolate! Glad I could take it out on an afternoon walk so it had its…
When all else fails… we go to the Laurel Diner. I can’t even list how many dinners I’ve had for breakfast, and breakfasts I’ve had for dinner at this place. Now that pumpkin is ALL THE RAGE, I had to try their pumpkin muffin and break my sweets ban temporarily. I almost want to keep logs of Matt and I’s conversations here year-to-year, I am…
I’m a few months into my 28th year, and I can’t lie to you, turning 30 has been on the brain. I know age is just a number, and I am 100% young at heart, but there’s so many things I want to do, and so little time! It’s amazing how fast time flies by – I can’t believe I started this blog when I…
Since before I can remember, I’ve been one of those people who lived on sugar. It made me happy, it made me nostalgic and it was integrated into part of who i was – so much so that my instagram description even said “sweets lover!” Well, a month or so ago, I decided I wanted to make a big change, and cut out sweets. Obviously…
the 1970’s are back, and i couldn’t be more thrilled. it is by far the decade that influences both my personal style and my decorating style the most! mini-skirts, rust colors, loafers… my dreams coming true. I’ve compiled a little wishlist of some of my favorite 70’s inspired items… 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8…
The 70’s are back, and you don’t see me complaining. I can remember my mom wearing skirts like this when I was little, because she literally never throws away her clothing and she continued to wear it through the decades. Now I own one – funny how that works. Have a lovely weekend, TGIF working gals! Make sure to follow my weekend adventures in instagram…
1. Cream: I haven’t been eating sweets lately, but I made an exception for this place. You get to pick your own cookie flavor from a long list of options, and then pick the ice cream flavor you like most along with toppings. It’s adorable AND tastes amazing. 2. La Taqueria: DELICIOUS local joint with on of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The avocado…
NYC is my favorite place in the entire world. when i close my eyes and think about where i would want to be on a day off, or a vacation, i would pick it every time. it is THE ONE. It’s not that i don’t love other places, because I do. San Francisco was beautiful and calm and scenic. But i think me and NYC…
Just a fun day wandering around San Francisco feeling a little like Minnie Mouse in my timeless go-to – dots and red lips! It’s such a classic option to pack for vacation! In celebration of my undying love for red lips and “Minnie Style” I’m excited to announce the launch of the @MinnieStyle Instagram account- follow along HERE. Red lips for life! * This post…
We spent labor day wandering around the Redwoods, and it was breathtaking. It is so quiet as you walk around, and we didn’t see a single animal! The climate is so different from what we’re used to – dry and cool. It was refreshing, and perfect for bundling up all cozy. !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p =…
After 1 canceled flight, we finally made it to San Francisco yesterday morning! I wanted to focus on traveling smart and light this trip, so i brought these jeans from Urban that I am OBSESSED WITH (slim fit, but also slouchy) and these Aysen shoes that I received last week and haven’t taken off since. They are genuine leather and hand crafted, and they feel…
After an INSANELY hectic week of my full-time job paired with the stresses that go into buying a house paired with blog work, i am super excited to be headed off to san francisco for the next few days! we’re visiting our best friends and exploring the city! I’ve only been once when I was 14, so any tips on places to go are much…
A place really begins to feel like home when you form set routines. It’s tough to make those happen during the week when most of my time is spent at work, but on Saturday every single week matt and I grab coffee at gentle brew and catch up on the week. it’s something so simple, but seeing the familiar faces of people who work there…
