Brooklyn, Baby.

It's been nearly five years since we moved to Brooklyn, and we love it more and more everyday. Aside from the standard hectic pace of city life (which, since we're keeping it honest here, can at times be pretty stressful), and the occasional battle of escalating rent woes, we just love Brooklyn to bits. 

We can't imagine leaving behind loft apartments and dingy bars, just yet. 

Brooklyn, for life.

Oversized Sweaters

Nothing says Fall/Winter, like the perfect oversized knit. 

And, if you're anything like we are, you enjoy and respect a good oversized item (flannels, sweaters, vintage rocker tee's, the list goes on and on...). Anywho, there is no way to get around the fact that Fall in NYC has a bitter chill, and that more often than not, it's necessary to stroll around in a city-dwelling, chic version of a snowsuit. We get so layered at times, that we literally can't move our arms properly. 

So, our solution until it gets cold as hell, a la last year's snowstorm, is to layer, layer, layer and rely on chunky sweaters (and leathers) to save the day.

**PS. Don't forget to  peep some of our favorite items and check out our updated "Shop" section. Accessories and some Fall/Winter friendly garb for those who feel our pain.

This Goodnight Macaroon Sweater is amazzzzzzing, beyond words. Oversized to perfection.

Eugene is My Middle Name

Cozy weekend-wear is an absolute must. 

And, although we're taking a quick trip to Miami for the next few days, we could absolutely never deny just how charming weekends are in Brooklyn. We have a whole lotta love for our neighborhood, and after 4+ years of living in the same apartment, we've come to the realization that brunches at Beco, coffee runs, whiskey's on our fire escape and our "charming 2 bedroom apartment", is in fact what keeps us grounded and at ease. 

Brooklyn has been our anchor throughout lots of exhilarating transitions and those undeniable/inescapable early-twentie's growing pains. 

Who knows where the road will lead, but for now, we're two happy peas in a BK pod - strolling around Lorimer in broken-in-denim (the kind that only gets better with time and doesn't ever fade!), fuzzy sweaters and seriously old t-shirts. 

Wearing:

Erica: Sweater, Urban Outfitters. Jeans, c/o Eugene is My Middle Name. Heels, Zara.
