style spotter: nyc sunday brunch
For New Yorkers, there’s one word that’s synonymous with Sunday: brunch. We’ll travel from one end of the city to the next to try the huevos rancheros at a tiny hole in the wall. We’ll wait in an hour-long line for a table, as long as we have sunglasses to shield our bloodshot eyes from the night before. NYC Sunday brunch is, hands down, the best event of the week. End of story. It seems like many moons ago that the romantic & I shared a New York brunch. While browsing through old Instagram photos, I found this gem from…

Then, as we boarded our near-empty flight to Nadi, an attendant gleefully told us most had cancelled. Apparently, it had started to rain a few days earlier and there was no end in sight.…

no travel required // #winewednesday, temporary roots, & a lost egyptian city
Ohhh hey. Happy #winewednesday! Unfortunately, the wino is off the sauce this week in preparation for a 10-mile race on Sunday. Fortunately, every day is #winewednesday for the romantic & the hubs since they are currently in Australia on leg four of their RTW. For everyone else, wine or not, you’ll always have our daily dose of NTR. YA WELCOME. Neither of us have ever been to Catalonia, YET. But obviously, every single one of these photos are really just rubbing salt in our wounds. Searching for a Place to Put Down Temporary Roots Um yeah, is this a lost…
