Oh mead, oh my
When our friends asked us if we’d like to join them for a picnic at a meadery where they’ve recently become wine members (mead members?), the obvious response was, “Yes!” And I had the same response when Oana asked me if I wanted to get dressed up in a pretty spring time dress with her.…

Escadaria Selaron
On one particularly warm day in Rio we set off to explore Santa Teresa, which we had heard had both an artsy and a gritty side. One such artsy destination is Escadaria Selaron, which is a long set of famous steps covered in tiles and mosaics. We loved exploring and climbing these beautiful stairs, finding…

The girl from Ipanema
Happy Monday! Back at it with another outfit from Rio today. We spent this day lounging on the beaches of Ipanema, where you can rent a couple chairs and an umbrella and munch on delicious açaí bowls all day long. The one thing you can’t do is go in the water because it’s so polluted,…

Pão de Açúcar
Boa Noite! Just a few snaps from our first evening in Rio, where we rode the gondola up to Pão de Açúcar, or Sugarloaf Mountain. It’s known for having some of the best views of this tropical city and its harbor, so we went up in time to watch the sunset and stuck around to enjoy…

Behind the scenes with Viridian Bay
Today I’m so excited to share some behind the scenes shots from an exciting project that Omied and I got to work on together! Over the last few years as Omied has been shooting my outfits and our travels for WTFab, his photography has gotten really good, and I’ve been encouraging him to start thinking…

Roaring 20’s
A couple weekends ago we went to a Roaring 20’s themed birthday party (complete with a vague corner location instead of an address, where we had to find a man with a yellow hat and ask him if he was superstitious in order for him to lead us to a hidden speakeasy). As any San…

New Threads
Before I jump into talking about this outfit, I just have to say how totally blown away I was by all of the responses to my post last week about the unfortunate incidents at a recent Oak Ridge basketball game. After I shared that post, I spent over four hours that night reading and responding…

NYC
Sharing some photos from our New York trip today! Even with the frigid temperatures, we still managed to explore and go out and do everything we had intended on doing…even if we had to wear ski masks while doing it.
