It is true what they say, as you get older, time really does speed up. It feels like 5 seconds ago that I was writing this post at the end of 2014. Or this one at the end of 2013 (or this one for 2012). This was a crazy year for me, with a lot of ups and a lot of downs. We settled into life…
I am so excited to finally fully share our new living room (you can see the before video here!) We were SO excited to work with West Elm on picking out furniture that feels like “us” since we’ve had mostly hand-me-downs at all of our other homes. After watching Mad Men, we felt so inspired by all of the mid century homes in the show. We knew we…
Happy Holidays from Matt, Claude & I! We’re so grateful for all of you, and hope you have a beautiful, magical Christmas! Xo…
My 2 brothers visited me, and we all went on a hike in upstate NY. It was a tough hike for me (I’m a wimp, and I had a blister about 5 mins in) but it was worth it for this view! It’s funny, because when I’m doing something scenic I always want to remain some semblance of cute, but also wear comfortable enough clothes…
IT IS CHRISTMAS WEEK! I am so excited, because this next weekend is a four-day weekend, and there’s so many exciting things coming up such as my in-laws visiting, christmas day with my cousins and a new years dinner double date we have planned! I know it is nerdy to always be looking forward to little things, but it’s fun to have things to keep…
I wore this casual festive outfit to our little dinner party that we hosted. Matt made homemade pizza, and we had all of our closest friends over, it was one of my favorite nights in a long time! Our dining room is still a work in progress, but it was so fun getting everyone together for a sit down meal for the holidays! I love…
Every holiday season there are two things I absolutely need – a new red dress as a holiday party go-to, and some cute around-the-house pieces (like a fun sweater, or a mug for hot chocolate, etc.) I love seeing our collection grow each year, as we make more traditions and soak in all of the holiday feels that we used to miss out on in…
On Sunday Matt and I went on a double date brunch to MIUSA in Williamsburg. It was lovely seeing our close friends who we haven’t caught up with in too long, and my french toast was so yummy. As overplayed as Sunday brunch is, I LOVE IT. We shared mimosas, bellini’s, and coffee (perfect combo, right?!) Later on in the evening Matt and I finally…
This holiday season, we decided we wanted to make cutting down our own tree a tradition! It’s the perfect time of year for a drive upstate, and it was a gorgeous day for the adventure! We found our tree standing all cute and tall, and then Matt sawed it down! Then we shared cider donuts, and drove home as the sun was setting while listening…
So, can we talk about these Boden flats. When they arrived, I couldn’t believe they were real. They’re too good to be true! I am so excited to wear them to some holiday parties, but also dressed down with jeans is perfect! This month is bittersweet, because it is so so cheery and sparkly, but it passes in a flash. I have so many great…
Oh, hello there December. You snuck up really quickly! 🙂 Here’s a few scenes from the past few days – I have been trying to catch up on work and simultaneously pull my house together before the holidays. It’s weird not having a routine, I think the hardest part is remembering to eat meals & remembering to exercise. As long as those two things happen…
