It's the day before Thanksgiving and all through the house... we're going crazy prepping for a drive to South Florida! I am so very thankful that my family and Matt's family will be joining forces together to have a Thanksgiving celebration. Luckily, the weather has cooled off to help us really feel like we're celebrating fall! 

Stay safe traveling, everyone!

I'm still adjusting. 

Adjusting to life back in Florida and definitely missing fall in Brooklyn (super jealous of everyone bundled up in their coat/sweater weather!). The transition into my new job in St. Augustine has filled my days with new challenges and left me really pumped on how I can help impact the health of this community. My evenings are filled with personal training sessions at the gym (more details on that coming soon) and I am putting the blame on those two things for my lack of blog posts. I was really so happy to have a spare moment with Matt today after work to shoot this outfit! Went a little crazy on a recent Ann Taylor 60% off sale - but how could you not love this dress? No matter if you're living in the bustling streets of NYC or the breezy coasts of Florida, this dress could hang with you anywhere. Buttoned up high with black/gold accessories make this 70's vibe dress perfection.

Happy New Year to you! 

I hope yesterday was filled with much rest and relaxation to re-energize for an inspiring and blessed 2015. Matt and I slept in after a fun NYE celebration with friends in Union Square at Penny Farthing and spent the afternoon walking around in Dumbo. It's the most picture perfect location in Brooklyn where you can see up to 3 bridges at the same time--the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges. And to top it off, it's the very spot where Matt proposed :) January 1st is definitely a day where we all start to think of things we resolve to do or accomplish during the upcoming year and I realized, while gazing up at these magnificent structures, how symbolic they are for the new year. 

Let's resolve to build our own bridges. Not walls. Let's resolve not to wait for things to just happen, but be that spark that ignites the path to our goals and dreams. Let's resolve to build our own bridges and walk across them always keeping our heads high toward what lies ahead in 2015. 

Lastly, a very big thank you to YOU for reading and supporting my blog! I'm so thankful for all of the awesome opportunities afforded to me and remarkable people I've met this year because of it. I can't wait to share more of my fashion and wedding adventures with you this year. Comment below to share what you'd like to see more of! I'd love to hear from you :)

xo,

Becca

Back in NYC and back in this coat weather. Surprisingly, some light coat weather! No complaints here. Matt and I took these photos last weekend, after we ate the most delicious Sunday brunch at Mother's Ruin. Live music, a chill atmosphere, and probably one of the most delicious chicken and waffles I've ever had (east coast wise). For some other satisfying chicken and waffle options, try Maharlika in the East Village, Sweet Chick in LES or Willyburg or SoCo in Downtown Brooklyn. Then, shop and style the look below so you can easily hide your happy belly ;)

Happy last Monday of 2014!
