lights up my day

i had the most amazing valentine's day. from the moment i got home from work i was showered with loads of pink and yellow tulips, love notes, and the gift of LIGHT! since we moved into our place in july our home still needs some finishing touches here and there. as a valentine gift to each other ryan and i picked up the most amazing mid-century, 1960's martz lamp. both gordon and jane martz, a married couple, were artists known for their work mixing ceramic and wood. we love it and it completes a little nook in the livingroom.



we then headed out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants, the continental. late night we snuggled on the sofa and watched amelie! ahhh, perfect!

tell me, how did you spend the day?

our first christmas

this is our first christmas together in our new home and ryan has been doing everything to make it special. we picked our tree from a lot by our apartment, sang to christmas carols, and decorated the tree with a mix of vintage ornaments and miniature planes ryan has been collecting. i think our first tree came out pretty great.

back to brooklyn

i haven't been to brooklyn in a while and i missed it so much. the flea markets, cafes, vintage shopping, and people watching are so captivating.
our main goal today was to hit the brooklyn flea market in williamsburg.we walked away with a few things... a vintage navajo blanket in muted colors, an old bottle opener, a vintage bag, and some snacks from some of the many yummy food vendors.





i think the strangest thing was walking away with a bag that i already had except a lot more worn. the vendor thought i was crazy when i asked to trade, but i finally got my perfectly worn in, brown leather coach bag and i love it!


after the flea market we met my friend, leigh, for a late lunch at rabbit hole cafe and some more shopping at some other local vintage spots.




we had such a great time. i need to visit a lot more.

just another fall outfit post

i had this up on instagram, but the app cropped so much of the image i removed it. i mostly just liked all of the fall colors in the photo and background, so i decided to do a quick outfit post.

acne jacket, zara sweater, vintage skirt, rag and bone boots, and a vintage belt to hold it all together (minus my head).

today is my birthday

i received the most beautiful flowers,

then headed to lovin' oven in frenchtown, nj for brunch. we shared the curry corn chowder, breakfast burrito, and challah french toast with strawberry compote and honey vanilla cream cheese drizzles.





and ate all of it:)

back from austin

i spent the week in austin, texas styling free people's july catalog. before i show you some behind the scenes i wanted to share my most favorite parts of sweet austin, texas...

number 1 is their plentiful vintage shopping!! i did some of my best vintage shopping there from feathers vintage to the little festival truck that was filled with the best, most inexpensive vintage of all. we went crazy dressing and undressing in that little truck, but the experience was most fun!






i forget where this was taken, but look at all those boots!


lucky us the sisters of the black moon took us shopping. these gals have the best style and are so, so sweet. rachel let me take tons of photos. i love her patch work jeans and all of those beautiful rings.





here are some of my austin finds... an embroidered mexican dress, wool navajo short sleeve cardigan, harley tee, velvet and fringe scarf, coral beaded necklace, indian bangles, levi's denim shorts, and black and white crochet shorts.


that's all for now. more favorites to come, but this couldn't wait. we went gaga over these girls and all the vintage we found!
