endless summer

Hey there, beauties! I apologize for the lack of updates lately, but big news: Matt and I moved back to the state known for its endless summer - sunny Florida! It's been a whirlwind leaving NYC behind, moving back our home state, getting adjusted to the relaxed pace and the new job. But in the end, I have a good feeling about this all. Nothing that an It's-It ice cream sandwich won't fix! Try the cappuccino or this season's pumpkin flavors ;) It was so much fun to collab with them for this post with their vintage style apparel. With this tee, I went for a classic combo with ripped jeans and some killer heels. For the fall, I also love this crewneck sweatshirt. I'm such a sucker for a comfy sweatshirt, especially this grey color that could be tied around your waist with any outfit.

Cheers to moving TSR to Florida! Any recommendations on photo shoot sites or food spots that you love, let me know below!

Happy Friday, everyone! Here's my last post from Florida (def not taken in this 3 degree NYC weather!). My sister and I shot these photos while shopping last Sunday at the Sawgrass Mills outlet mall, my absolute fav mall to go to whenever I visit home. I always have to stop by Neiman Marcus Last Call and we did some major damage there! On the rotation, will soon be the start of a series of "How I Shop" - how to find great deals and how to score investment designer pieces at specific stores and online sites. I hope you find it fun and useful! You're definitely going to want to see what I found... Stay tuned!

beach is better

Hello from St. Augustine, FL! After our reception menu tasting, we made a quick stop by the beach for some much needed Vitamin D (as evidenced by my pale complexion). I truly missed the unending sunshine, salty air and warm sand.. and I can't wait to come back and celebrate our wedding here in just a few short months! Matt and I have been working hard on ironing out the details of the wedding weekend events and honeymoon (which is booked!!) and I just can't stop smiling.

About to jump on a plane back home to NYC, hopefully we won't catch too much snow on the way back up. Here's to a great week!

A quick post from my weekend in Florida! One closet staple that I always travel with (and keep an extra pair at my parents' house) is my Express jeans. I've been wearing their denim for years because they fit my waist and curves perfectly. I'm a sucker for skinny jeans and their Stella and leggings styles are always the best. I usually travel with one blue denim pair and one black legging pair because they are comfortable enough for the plane ride and go easily with any top. I am trying to expand my denim repetoire, any favs that you have?

I can't believe I'm already back in this NYC slush, but as long as I got my Sorel boots on, nothing's stopping me. Luckily, I get to travel back to St. Augustine, FL again this weekend for our wedding reception tasting :) Can't wait! 3 more months til the big day! 

Hope you have a great week!

A fitted dress/tall boots/long overcoat has been my uniform during these freezing winter days. I'm looking forward to traveling back to Florida's sunshine during the next few weeks for wedding errands and family time. Less than 4 months to the wedding.. it's not time to start freaking out yet, right?! But you can start freaking out because this boucle overcoat I've been rocking all fall/winter is now buy one get one free! See how I styled the camel one here and here and the cranberry color here. 

Happy shopping!
