Jumped into a time machine and took a trip down memory lane! 🛸🛸🛸

I was scouted for my first modeling job at the Mall of America when I was 9. It was for a Nordstrom’s catalogue and I was so excited that I stayed up all night for the first time 🙃 That same year I was casted in my first independent film, The 99ers (if you’ve seen it, you’re deep in my heart). I loved to be on set and feel what it was like to be so deliberately creative at such a young age!

Fast forward to the college years, putting myself through school and starting a blog to share my vintage lewks. I cared about sustainability, upcycling, and thought everyone should thrift too! Little did I know, creating that outlet would give me the most unforgettable experiences to reminisce over forever.

Teen Vogue was the first to call, and I answered with disbelief. From being on set with Maybelline, or dyeing my hair for the first and only time in my entire life (BLONDE) for Loreal. To crying on the subway over our @timberland spread for Marie Claire! Hiding out in the @indego_africa offices when I needed an escape, or my last campaign with @target that sent me off to live upstate.

Through the years, I’ve kept this channel and continued to share bc

Nothing Real Can Be Increased Except By Sharing.

I have loved holding the light with you and shining it on what really matters. Thank you all for sharing with me through the years! I love you! by @ericalave

A look back at our intimate winter wedding inside our soon-to-be Brooklyn Pizzeria 🤍 as seen on @theknot.

On our six year anniversary, we were married in a spiritual ceremony surrounded by loved ones. We couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to celebrate and begin this next chapter than the pizza shop, @agata.pizza.

Thank you to the most iconic vendors ever, we love you all so much //

As relevant today as it ever was. A book of shared visceral feeling. A telling of collective truth. Of being and existing. Of radical joy. Resistance. Our right to freedom and expression, beyond beyond beyond oppression.

Feat. Excerpts from ‘Assata’ by Assata Shakur - Originally published in 1987. Plus Alice Coltrane & other Black girl ting. 🖤🌹 by @ericalave

Nourishing our home-space and (specifically) organizing tiny corners is a type of nesting-joy that sparks an inner-peace, of which I can’t quite describe. Our home is still a work in progress, so we found these new @plankandbeamfurniture Aria + Grande Consoles to add more functionality to some of the rooms that needed extra love. #ad https://liketk.it/55ylN @shop.ltk by @ericalave

A tiny something for the souuuuul..

🥔 >> Our Creamy (Dairy Free) Potato Leek Soup Recipe that we’ve been obsessing over. (Also, since it’s ~dairy-free, you can freeze it, to enjoy throughout the week. Which is a game changer) by @ericalave

Y’alllllll, we have a fur son! Almost two months with Rain, our newest addition to the growing fam! 🐶 We rescued our little man-very-good-boy, but he really rescued us. We met him on a rainy Sunday in NYC and on the car ride home discovered that his favorite song was Rain God by Hermanos Gutiérrez (he obvi has great taste!) 😉 Anyway, he might be named Rain, but he’s been the sunshine of our days. He loves to play soccer, go to @hillsidedogpark and is obsessed with watching the sunrise at the beach. Lol. by @ericalave

The year of quality time. Family, chosen family, moving back to Brooklyn and spending some weekends upstate. 🫀 Renovating. Writing. Stillness. ~(Lots-a) Giggling. Phone on dnd. Subway rides with no headphones. Summer in the City with the littles. Back in Love with Ballet. Holistic therapy (TG!). Rescuing Rain, our very good bébé-boy. Saying Yes to Mon Amour! 💍 But, that was all so last year. HNY angels. Love you. by @ericalave
