Sometimes I get really excited to share photos with you guys and this is definitely one of those sets! Sometimes I'm really feeling shooting and other times I'm not. Well I was really feeling it for this shoot on one of my last days in NYC.  As you all know by now, Cory and I recently made the decision to leave our home in NYC to move to South Florida for a job opportunity. Full story here. As I talked about, it was a very hard decision for us to make as we were comfortable and happy in our NYC lives. But dreams over fears people. When I got this job offer, we knew we'd have to tak ..read more

Once we decided we were moving to Florida, I had 3 weeks left in NYC and so much I wanted to do! When you live somewhere you always feel like yeah but I could do that later and then you run out of time. I quickly snapped into gear and put together a NYC bucketlist for things I wanted to do before I was no longer a resident. Below, I've rounded up what I think are the NYC must-do's from downtown to uptown. 1 - Highline: The Highline is an above ground park along the Hudson River. Grab a friend and wander. I prefer to start at Chelsea Market with a taco from Los Tacos No 1 and walk uptown.&nbs ..read more

As you all know by now, I'm no longer an NYC-resident. So what a perfect time to finally write a dining guide to NYC. Stay tuned for my NYC bucket list coming in the next few weeks. There are 24,000 restaurants in NYC. That doesn't even make sense to me that's such a big number. I used to get so overwhelmed by the choices and panic and then never be able to actually pick a place to go - Cory refers to this as "falling down the Yelp hole." So, to save you the same stress in case you're a psycho like me. Below, are some of my absolute favorite NYC restaurants/bars. 1 - Uncle Boon's When you th ..read more

So today... I am leaving NYC and moving to South Florida. Cory and I are originally from South Florida and I recently received a job offer that we felt like we couldn't refuse so back to Florida we go! When we moved up to New York, we'd always planned to return to Florida one day, knowing we'd want to be closer to our families. And a little over 4 years later, that day has come.  We are so excited to be closer to family and start building roots in a place where we plan to stay long term. I accepted a position at another Advertising Agency and look forward to getting to know my ..read more

I'm obsessed with crop tops for summer. I wish almost daily that I could wear them to work and struggle to find a top that goes with these pants/shorts/skirt as well as a crop top. So I'm sharing my obsession. I've rounded up some of my favorites below and sharing how I've styled some of my favorite crop tops.  I love a crop top with just about anything. it adds a light feel to flowy pants, is perfect for the beach or pool with jean shorts or dressed up with a hat and a skirt for date night or drinks with the girls. Crop tops add a fun look to everything and are perfect for summe ..read more

Cory and I have lived in Jersey City for 2 years now and we love it. It's a nice escape from NYC while still being 1 quick subway stop away. Jersey City is such a cute city with so many fun things to do. We love going on walks after work in the summer and frequently run into live music events with one of our favorites being Groove on Grove on Wednesday nights at the Grove Street Path station. When we went out to take these pictures, we ran into some live music in a park near our apartment.  I'm obsessed with this romper. It runs a little big so you could size down but I like the oversiz ..read more

If you've been following me for any amount of time, you know how much I love summer. Can you believe it's already the middle of July and we're halfway through this sunny time of year!? Here's how I'm making the most of summer.  one - outdoor concerts Living in the NYC area, there's lots of live music throughout the summer. Jersey City has bands perform every Wednesday night outside on the Grove Street path station. Cory, Oliver and I have made it a recent habit to head down on Wednesdays to sit outside with a glass of wine and listen to whoever is playing this week. It's become one of my ..read more

I've been thinking about writing this post for a while now but was like no one wants to talk about money when it comes to your wedding they just want to see the fun stuff. And though that's true I recently had an adorable girl reach out to me on Instagram saying she'd fallen in love with my wedding through the feature on Inspired by This and her and her fiancé are planning and paying for their their own wedding so she'd love if I could share some details on my planning process (hey Brittany!). So that was the final push I needed to write this blog post. Below are my tips for planning your ..read more

Cory and I are lucky to have been traveling every weekend for the last month and a half! It's crazy. We've been to Philadelphia, Mexico, home to Florida and most recently to the Cape. So I've become quite the pro at packing for a weekend getaway. Only what you can fit in a carry on bag. Below are my essentials and tips for packing for a weekend at the beach.  one - romper/jumpsuit A romper or jumpsuit has become my recent go to outfit of choice for travel days because it's comfortable enough for the car or plane and also cute enough to head straight from the airport to lunch/the beac ..read more

People-pleasing is exhausting and it's something we all could probably stand to work on. Stop doing what everyone else wants you to do and do you. Here are three reasons to start saying no more often and start doing you.  reason #1 - you can do anything but you can't do it all I hear this in blogging a lot, you can talk to anyone but you can't talk to anyone because if you're talking to everyone you're really talking to no one. The same goes for your life. You can be anything you want to be but you can't do it all because if you're doing it all you're really doing nothing. We can't do it ..read more
