If You're Going to San Francisco

In the past two years I have been on an airplane more than I have been in my entire life. Traveling via airplane was a novelty growing up, being that my family preferred to do it the old fashioned way and load up into our family van and trek across the country (which does come with it's own wonderful memories and perks). 

However, it makes me giddy with excitement everytime I print out my boarding pass, clear through security and head to my gate. There is a romantic quality about flying. It might be because movies always have that crucial scene when they guy is running through the airport to stop his one true love from leaving (but let's be real, a true lover would let his girl chase after her dreams and not hold her back--but I'll touch on that later). 

Rather than chase me through the airport, me and my special someone decided to pack up and head to the west coast together--San Francisco. I had never been there before, and being an East Coast girl through n' through I was eager to see what this beautiful city had to offer. Man was I impressed. 

We booked our reservations through www.airbnb.com, which turned out to be a huge success. We stayed in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the Lower Pacific Heights area which is known for some really gorgeous victorian townhomes and views of the city. 

Because our time there was limited, we set out to hit everything we could. We hopped in an Uber and asked our drive to drop us off somewhere he loves to go. So we ended up at Fisherman's Warf which provided a gorgeous sunset view.

The next morning, we ate at Chow at the Park (right off of Golden Gate Park). The place was all natural, organic, and probably had some of the best potatoes I have ever eaten. I felt so strongly about the meal I insisted on standing up to take a picture of our wonderful meal. 

Next Stop: Golden Gate Park (Japanese Tea Garden). The Sencha Green Tea was slightly sweet and just warm enough for our perfectly brisk walk in the park.

I really recommend dating someone you can travel with. It makes life that much more colorful.

Transitioning Back to Tallahassee

Ahh tumblr, it has been too long. I just spent the last 20 minutes scrolling back through my posts and reminiscing about the amazing summer I spent in Philly.

But that doesn't mean I haven't been making my last year in Tallahassee count! Coming back to college after a professional internship is an eye opener. I have newfound inspiration to think about what I want from life, and enjoy my fleeting and precious college years.

Since being back I have had the opportunity to reconnect with many of my creative, hardworking and entrepreneurial friends.

One friend in particular never ceases to amaze me, Briana Ali. In the past I have written about Bri and her jewelry line, Bohindie Stream. Since then Bohindie Stream has expanded from crystal necklaces and into the realm of vintage wear. You could definitely say she's a #girlboss.

Here are a couple of photos from our recent shoot!

This weekend, my parents came to visit. I'm lucky enough to have parents that would drive across the country to come sit with me as I work endlessly on Financial Accounting on my days off from work. The past couple of weeks have been very difficult on me, which is unusual. I like to think I'm immune to stress and melt downs--but hey I'm only human.

My Dad gave an example that just like a rubber band, you never how much it could expand until you stretch its limits. I had no idea how far my "rubber band" could stretch. Despite this being the most challenging and overwhelming summer of my life, it has also been the most exciting, rewarding, and humbling. 

Philadelphia inspires me everyday to be better and to keep moving forward. Here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks that made me smile.

Philly: Week 2

My second week in Philly has been a whirlwind. Between my internship at URBN, the Drexel Fashion Show, Atlantic City, the Avett Brothers, New York City, home cooking, Orange is the New Black,  Magic Gardens, meeting new friends, and spending time with my boyfriend, I can say whole heartedly say it makes the top 10 best weeks ever. 

It has been rainy here, but I'm determined to make the most of it. Philadelphia has an incredible art gallery/labyrinth known as the "Philadelphia Magic Gardens". The garden is not a garden in the traditional sense. Instead of flowers and plants, there are a myriad of found objects and mosaics. "The garden inspires creativity and community engagement by educating the public about folk, mosaic, and visionary art. PMG preserves, interprets, and provides access to Isaiah Zagar’s unique mosaic art environment and his public murals."

I just wanted to share some snippets from this past week with you. 

Happy Saturday!

Weekly Snapshot of Life in Philly

Before moving here, I honestly never heard a  nice thing about Philadelphia. I'm pretty sure the word "sketchy" was thrown around a lot. So needless to say my expectations were pretty low, but man was I wrong.

Philadelphia. is. the. coolest. Seriously though. I am a huge fan of New York City, my favorite city is London, and I crave Paris on a daily basis. Philly though, feels like home. I feel a weird sense of patriotism walking down the same blocks as William Penn and Ben Franklin. Needless to say, I'm sure the 4th of July is going to be interesting here. 

In Center City I've already found a few gems thanks to the help of my subletter, including the restaurant Audrey Claire, which has the best grilled artichokes I have ever tasted in my life. 

I've also had the opportunity to explore a hip up and coming neighborhood, Northern Liberties. I loved the whole scene in Northern Liberties (street art, bikes, lots of beards). It reminded me of what I imagined Brooklyn to be before you had to have a super rich dad to live there. 

Now I'm snuggled up in my studio apartment, watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and sipping on a Lavender Latte from the cafe around the corner.  Life is pretty good.

[breadandbutton]

There are a few times in your life that you know what you're doing is a pivotal point in your life. Last summer I knew studying abroad was one of those moments. Suddenly, rather than planning your life, worrying, or obsessing I would find myself simply trying to live in the moment and enjoy the present.

Starting my summer internship in a new city is another exciting, twisting, and turning road in my life. This blog is an opportunity to cherish these changes and celebrate them. 

Here are a few shots from my first magical moments in Philadelphia. 

Cheers to a beautiful summer ahead of me, and appreciating what comes today!

Bonnaroo Babe: Mastering Crop Tops and Flower Crowns

June 12-15th is sure to be marked on calendars everywhere (or at least your iphone calendar). In just a few short weeks everyone from Elton John to Skrillex will be meeting up in Manchester, Tennessee to take part in one of the largest music festivals since Woodstock, Bonnaroo.  

For the past couple of months, festival wear has been all the rage at stores like Urban Outfitters, Free People, Zara, and Forever 21. So B&B is here to help you put together that perfect Bonnaroo look to help you get into the music festival spirit!

The look above is a popular and easily achievable bohemian look, without the layers. White crop tops are versatile and will not only go perfectly with high waisted denim shorts, but also a maxi skirt or under overalls. Try to find a crop top in an interesting fabric, such as eyelet to add textural interest.

Jewelry can define the aesthetic of any outfit. By layering chains, you can make an otherwise simple look pop with a bit of sass. 

(Our model Mallory with her cat, Captain Dudley Morse)

Temporary tattoos are a fun way to boho up your Bonnaroo experience! (For those of us that are scared of commitment) Find some stylish ones online at http://tattly.com/

Flower crowns can be found everywhere now, but if you're feeling creative it's also easy to make your own.

A few that we love can be found online on etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageDivinitiess?section_id=13595579

Are you a Bonnaroo Babe? #breadandbutton on Instagram to show us your best festival looks! You may be featured on B&B!

[breadandbutton]

Hey, I love love love your posts! I just wish you would maybe do a piece on different body types. Your outfits are cute, but mostly for one kind of frame. So many boho styles are limited to very tall, thin, flat girls. I would LOVE to see a series on hourglass-figure-flattering looks.

Thank you so much for this suggestion! I definitely will work on not only doing  a piece on different body types, but also trying to make sure each and every one of my posts are able to be adapted no matter what your shape. I really appreciate your feedback. :)

Taking on the Trend: Lace Shorts

Lace is a trend that comes back season after season, and arguably never goes out of style. However, I know I get a little iffy when it comes to styling this oh so feminine fabric. I don't wan't to walk out the door feeling like a frilly five year old in my lacy bottoms. 

In order to prevent you from suffering the same demise, B&B is here to show you how it's done. 

HOW TO STYLE LACE SHORTS LIKE A GROWN UP

(well, at least moderately grown up)

Lace shorts are great because they transition so easily from day to night. Neutral colored bottoms go a long way, acting as a blank canvas. 

DAY LOOK

(Pictured above clockwise from left: nude platform sandals (BCBG), Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenters (JD Salinger), taupe lace bralette (Target), oversized slouch sweater (Free People), ivory lace shorts (Dillards), oversized brown tote (Urban Outfitters))

1. Choose Your Color Palette

When creating an outfit, you want to establish a general color palette for your look. For daytime, I chose a warm color palette of pinks, nudes, and browns.

2. What's Up?

An oversized sweater looks great over lace shorts when the scalloped edges of the lace sticking out at the bottom. If you choose to wear a light weight gauzy top, this works well too--especially if you have a pretty bralette you want to show off. When choosing a top you want to balance the weight of the tiny short with a large top to add an interest in regard to proportion. 

3. The Casual Bag

During the day you're most likely running around either at work, school, or around town so a staple tote bag is a must have. It's also essential for packing the few must haves you'll need for your night look! 

NIGHT LOOK

Soon enough the day is over and for once you've decided to go out instead of crawl back into your girl cave and drink wine and watch Netflix. You go girl! Thankfully, you don't have to spend too much time prepping because your lace shorts have your back (or I guess technically, butt?) 

Pictured above starting clockwise from left (black chiffon blouse (GAP), black and nude lace bra (Kohls), Coco Noir Perfume (Chanel), black leather crossbody (Kate Spade), ivory lace short (Dillards), black pumps (Franco Sarto)

Inside of the frame pictured is a postcard I picked up while at Yves Saint Laurent's old studio in Paris last summer. It reads, 

“The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.”-YSL 

Even though I'm not styling with YSL, the sentiment still rings true.

1. Pulling a Mary Poppins 

Chances are you can probably fit all your night time essentials into your oversized tote bag. Make sure to bring a small crossbody for the night. I find that clutches get annoying to hold and are easily lost. 

2. Pretty Underthings are Everything

Nothing gives you a boost of confidence like a good bra/undies. Confidence is crucial.

3.Function meets Fabric

Chiffon is a largely popular fabric right now, and is gorgeous in black. It will dress up your lace shorts while still affording movement and comfort. 

Hope these two looks inspired you to either pull out a pair of lace shorts you haven't worn in a while, or run out and get a pair. This trend is too cute to miss.

Launches we LOVE: FP Movement

(Free People Printed Tattered Kimono-$48)

I'm not exactly what you would call a sporty person. I never played a sport in high school and I never truly felt adopted into the whole Nike athletic wear clan. Being described as fashionable, boho, artsy, and alternative packs on the pressure to be well dressed at all times. In reality, I would probably opt to wear leggings 24/7 if I didn't feel like a hobo when I see my classmates rocking cute frocks. 

But alas, once again Free People has come to the rescue. Now it's not a matter of sporty vs. cute or cute vs. comfortable. Free People has launched "Movement" an assortment of clothing designed specifically for ballet dancing, yoga, and surfing. The looks still maintain the Free People aesthetic, while also being trendy and functional. Pieces range from $22-$110. 

YOGA Free People Cody Top $60

BALLET Free People Hatha Crop Leggings $78

SURF Free People Hyde Cuff $28

Will there be a new campus trend away from running shorts and frat tanks with this new wave of comfort and style? Time will tell. In the meantime, I'm truly enjoying the fact that a healthy lifestyle is now considered on trend.

#GIRLBOSS: Jackie Skelding of Many Moons Vintage

Meet Jackie, Florida State University student and owner and curator of Many Moons Vintage. Many Moons vintage is a carefully curated online shop consisting of 1920s-1970s apparel, accessories, and home goods. This young entrepreneur is making waves in the Etsy community as well as the fashion world.

When and how did Many Moons Vintage start?

Back in 2009, I began getting restless with my career plans. I originally wanted to study to become a psychiatrist, but I found that nothing made me happier than hunting and collecting vintage treasures. I ditched my doctoral dreams (who could stand to go to school for that many years anyway!?) and the shop sprouted out of my own personal collection of vintage goodies. The transition sounds extreme in writing, but it came very organically. I think I finally realized the person I wanted to be---as cheesy & cliché as that sounds. 

How did you come up with the name Many Moons Vintage?

"Many moons ago" was an idiom I have been saying my whole life, meaning "long ago." It came to me as a name while sitting in my teeny apartment I had back in my freshman year of college. It seemed to just make sense-- I liked the way it represented the items I sell, which are all 1920s-1970s goods but I also liked the history it had in the conversations I had with people in my past. 

Favorite Tallahassee thrifting spot?

Oh! I can never fully divulge my secrets-- its like giving up the key ingredient to your secret sauce. But there is a new fantastic shop called Seven Hills Trading Post located on the south side of town. The owner, Jessica, is hilarious & charming as can be---she always has the most killer mid century digs.

How has your personal style evolved since starting your business?

I have never been the type to hold back, or care much what others thought of how I dressed. But I can say that I have felt even more confident about sporting my super old-timey duds around town after all of the support & positive feedback I've received in light of the success of my store. If any change has come about, its that I keep getting more extreme!Although I love the ability to mix modern & vintage pieces, you'll typically find my decked out head-to-toe in vintage. I tend to mix time periods rather than mixing contemporary into my wardrobe.  If you live in Tallahassee, you're guaranteed to catch me flaunting my 1960s hawaiian dresses, 1950s fur coats & insanely wonderful 1940s hats--but not all in the same outfit, of course. 

What’s the next step for your business?

I have plans of opening a retail location sometime this summer or next fall---fingers crossed! Until then, I will continue to send off vintage goodies to my lovely customers across the globe through Etsy.  I will definitely keep up my online business even after the brick-and-mortar shop opens, though. There is nothing quite like knowing the treasure I found is making someone happy on the other side of the world.

Items you can’t live without? 

Thats a tough one--but I have one vintage oil portrait that I picked up a couple years back. It features a stunning woman with jet black hair & flowers tucked behind her ear. It was painted in 1947 and it is one of my favorite possessions. I certainly have some go-to vintage dresses that I can't part with, but every time I look at that portrait, I fall in love with her all over again. The most interesting part of that piece (aside from her killer 40s hair-do) is that she was painted with her eyes closed--- for some reason, I immediately connected with her & I just can't shake it! She is one of many in my collection of portraits of vintage ladies, but she will always be my favorite gal.

Current Favorite Song?

Nous étions amies by Françoise Hardy will forever be my favorite song, but All of me by Billie Holiday is a very close second. 

Favorite place you have visited?

Nashville, Tennessee! Delicious food, beautiful antique homes, killer vintage scene & friendly folks. If I ever move from Tallahassee, it may certainly be to Nashville.

Meet Murphy, Green Thumb Goddess.

This is Murphy. Her amazing sense of style and colorful tattoos are what first drew me to her photos. Scrolling through my newsfeed, Murphy's images were particulary striking. Amidst adorable selfies, a baby chick appeared! It was then followed by an array of vegetable seeds and raised garden beds. Did Murphy join a super hip farmer co-op or what? 

Nope. She’s just a DIY gardener.  As someone with no knowledge about gardening, I naturally wanted to know how I  could end up with equally impressive garden (and instagram posts) myself. Looks like I’ll just have to reap what I sow.  

So I asked her a few questions about getting started.

What made you want to start gardening? 

Oh where to start? There are so many reasons but mainly because I want to know what I'm putting into my body. I think it's very important to know where your food is coming from and how it's made. Especially with all the genetically modified products on the market now. By starting my own garden I know that this product is all organic and all natural. Plus it's FREE! 

What is the hardest part about caring for chickens?

Well right now they are too young to stay outside so I guess the hardest part is cleaning up after them when I let them out inside of the house. Yes I said inside of the house, hah. But other than that they are the easiest "pet" I've ever had to care for. Who knew chickens could have so much personality! I just love them. 

How much time do you dedicate a week to caring for your garden? 

Everyday before I go to work I go out and check everything in the garden. Mainly for bugs (caterpillars, grasshoppers, worms) and when I come home from work the first thing I do is head to the garden! I would say I'm in the garden for at least two hours every single day. 

What are some basic supplies you would suggest to the amateur gardener?

 I always say that my best tools are my hands, so find a good pair of gardening gloves and a nice pair of pruning shears! But my main advice to starting a garden is to go ALL ORGANIC!  

How do you specifically garden in accordance with the Florida climate?

It's definitely tough because our area is so low and wet. Raised beds have really helped me with that. But also be careful about over watering, It's really easy to do here because of the afternoon thunderstorms that will start happening everyday, come summertime. 

Favorite part of the experience? 

Getting my hands dirty and watching everything grow. I also love that I learn something new almost everyday.

Thank you Murphy for the advice and gorgeous images!

Weather Forecast vs. Fashion Forecast

If you live in the Southeast you probably haven't seen the light of day in a while. Everything is hidden under a hazy fog of clouds and rain. However, being the troopers we are we push on despite our rainy day blues. 

There is a general rule of thumb for cuddle weather clothing. It has to be

1. Comfortable

2. Practical

3. Effortlessly cool

If you're a going to work, running to class, or simply hanging around with your crew there is a way to achieve each of these three points without sacrificing style.

For the Lady Boss 

Playing with proportions is fun! Don't be scared to break the typical skinny pants oversized top trend. Choosing pants with a flare leg and a slighty cropped tee can be just as flattering. A white topper coat with shortened sleeves makes a great cool to warm weather transition piece. Make the look pop with a brightly colored bag paired with some severe looking accessories. 

For the Normcore Prep

You do not look fat in boyfriend jeans. Let me repeat, you do not look fat in boyfriend jeans. You look comfortable and relaxed. Try to find a pair of bf jeans with a few wears and tears, to add some textural interest. I saw a girl yesterday sporting a bright red raincoat and I couldn't have been anymore jealous. It seemed like the perfect way to add a bit of color to an otherwise drab day. Mute down the look with a neutral top, layered chain jewelry, an oversized tote, and my favorite--classic Hunter boots.

For the Apathetic Hipster Hangout

Leggings are God's gift to the world. I probably wear black leggings 5 out of 7 days of the week. They act as a blank canvas for whatever top and accessories you want to wear. This oversized denim raincoat with a waterproof finish (how cool is that), is casual and cool over a loose graphic tee. To give the look a punk edge, try pairing it with Docs or another pair of lace up combat boots. Don't worry too much about jewelry (remember, you DGAF).  For good taste, add in an ironic beanie, always a winner.

Get Going

On rainy days I usually find myself wrapped burrito style in my comforter, binge watching "The Tudors" on Netflix. It's finals week in Tallahassee so there really hasn't been much of a reason for me to get dressed, style my hair, or bother doing my makeup. After a while though, I started to feel a little gross. Sick of watching all the beautiful people of Tudor England while I'm two day old yoga pants, I decided to get dressed and get going. 

Luckily I so happen to have a photographer roommate and bestie to help a sister out.

CLIQUE

The downside of having super creative friends?

Feeling the need to be super productive and artsy all the time. Really, this isn't a negative thing though even though I might be complaining. Having five best friends, two heading off to China to study abroad, one studying art and writing at SCAD, and one singer/songwriter/graphic artist that lives in the same apartment as you is probably one of the diverse and amazing friend groups someone can ask for. Throw an animator/illustrator boyfriend on top of that and you think I would have imploded from all of the creativity around me. 

I wanted to take some time to touch upon some of these amazing peeps and link you in the right direction.

Summer in The City

The clock is ticking. In two weeks I'll be back home in St. Augustine and then a few weeks after that I'll be boarding a plane to move to Philadelphia for the summer. I've been mentally preparing for this leap for a couple months now, but it still feels fairly unreal. 

URBN (Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, BHLD, Terrain) HQ in Philadelphia, PA

I used to dread change, but soon realized that with each change my life got substantially more interesting. Moving from city to city, traveling abroad for the first time, getting a new job, living with random people, ending up at a college I never expected have all led to colorful adventures and memories. I could have never planned all the things that have happened to me, and I certainly don't expect to have any idea how this summer will change me.

Last summer, studying broad changed my life. I met so many new people, experienced new cultures, and realized that this was the first summer of a new and exciting chapter in my life. I wanted to keep up the momentum of life changing summers, so I am thrilled to say I'll be interning at Urban Outfitters HQ in Philadelphia as a Talent Development Intern (working across all of the URBN brands). 

(Photo from my Interview Day this past January)

I've never lived by myself, have been to Philly a grand total of 2 times (including my 5th grade trip to the Liberty Bell), have no idea of what exactly I'll be doing, and hardly know a soul. But these things don't frighten me anymore, but pose as a new adventure and stories.

I am a firm believer that a person is as good as their stories. 

So this summer, I'll be documenting the fashion, food, entertainment, and my life as an intern at URBN HQ. I'd love it if you followed along.

xo,

A Time for Change

Let me tell you a little something about my friend Steve. Coincidentally we grew up in the same city of Long Beach, NY. Coincidentally both of our families both decided to pick up and move in the same year to  Saint Augustine, FL. Our families didn't know each other, but by a mutual connection Steve and his family became a part of our own. We spend almost every holiday sharing a huge meal and reminiscing about New York and all of our childhood adventures. 

This past Christmas, Steve starting talking about his call to help the homeless and other people that are just down and out. He knew he wanted to help and had an idea of what he wanted to do, but it seemed so vague and there were so many obstacles to overcome. 

He planned to set out to venture the East Coast, giving homeless people sandwiches. Sounds simple enough. However, the normal person would find a million excuses as to why they wouldn't be able to do this. 

Most people I know would say, I can't afford it? Will I have to get out of my current lease if I pick up and basically become a nomad? Where will I stay? Will my car make it? What will I get out of it? Isn't that dangerous?

Steve however just went for it. Starting out in Savannah Georgia (and crashing with my best friend Savannah--ironic I know), he set out and starting feeding the needy. He made his way to Charleston, DC, NY, and a couple of spots along the way, feeding over 200 people in some of the toughest neighborhoods (keep in mind Steve is a blonde, slender,approachable surfer guy). 

(Photo of David, By Steven Meehan)

I followed Steve's journey through social media and realized that his mission to feed the homeless is bigger than a few sandwiches. It's all about love. He talks to these people, knows their names, empathizes with their struggles. In a society where we dehumanize people that live on the streets, Steve is helping them become visible. The entire project adopted a kind of "Humans of New York" vibe, but with a philanthropic and spiritual twist. In addition, Steve takes all of his own photos, manages all his social media, and buys all the supplies for sandwiches with donations and his own money. 

(Photo of Distibuting Food, by Steve Meehan)

Yesterday as we sat around and ate Easter Brunch, he told a few of his many stories about the people he has met along his journey. I was so inspired I knew I needed to get others to hear his stories too.

Now that Steve is back in Florida, he is planning his next adventure to the West Coast in the fall.
