Warm Wishes

Warm Wishes

Happy Tuesday, loves! Hope your all having a great start to the week. Brrr it's been really cold here the past few days. Yesterday it actually snowed a bit in NYC if you can believe! What happened to fall? I feels more like winter.

I dream of staying indoors in my nice toasty apartment but unfortunately that's not a possibility. Guess I'm just gonna have to resort to lots of coffee and a warm coat.

Have a lovely day! xoxo

Bundle Up, Beautiful!

Bundle Up, Beautiful!

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! Well, it certainly has gotten very cold, very quickly here in NYC. Yesterday my bones were shivering from the second I walked out of the apartment until the moment I got back home later that night. And to think, the day before I was enjoying brunch outdoors. What happened??? Guess November's telling me it's time to break out all of the layers and scarves, gloves and hats.

What's the weather like around your neck of the woods?

Nuts For Knits

Nuts For Knits

One of my favorite things about the fall season is the chance to break out all of the fabulous knitwear. I mean, Missoni has been my weakness for as long as I can remember. And what could be better than layers upon layers of gorgeous knits in perfect neutrals? Bundle me up. I'm in heaven!

Soothing Strolls

Soothing Strolls

Happy mid-week, darlings! Fall brings so many little pleasures, doesn't it? Leaves changing colors, fabulous fashion, boots, tights and amazing outerwear, a return to warm coffee and those amazing leisurely days spent taking in the sights of the city. I love nothing better than hitting the streets on a cool autumn day. Everything seems to slow down a bit and I feel like I could walk for miles strolling by fabulous shops, quaint cafes, beautiful architecture and neighborhood parks. It's a little feast for the eyes.

And since the days are shorter this time of year I even try to get out during the work day for a brief stroll and a little glimpse of daylight. It just feels so indulgent and good for the soul.

Hope you all get the chance to escape for a little soul soother today. Have a wonderful one! xoxo

Fall Fabulousness

Fall Fabulousness

Loving the mixtures of neutrals here. Camel, grey, & taupe topped with a little leopard for good measure. And the little peak of leg under heavy layers looks so fresh, doesn't it? Not so sure I'd be brave enough to pull it off but she looks fabulous.

Weekend Snapshots & A Winner!

Weekend Snapshots & A Winner!

Good Monday morning, lovelies! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. As you can probably tell from the photos, I finally got to realize my foliage fantasies. My family & I hit the road on Saturday, a picture perfect day. We drove on up to Bear Mountain, Warwick and Sleepy Hollow and were treated to gorgeous views and yummy fall festivities.

We pumpkin picked and ate caramel apples, exactly what I had hopped for. The hills were bursting with vibrant shades of red, yellow, orange and green and then we were treated to the most gorgeous sunset over the most placid pond. The mirrored reflection of the sky and the trees over the pond was so magical. Only the darkness could make me leave.

Before I go, I wanted to announce the winner of the Shopbop Giveaway. And the winner is....

Helena from A Diary of Lovely!!!

Congrats Helena and happy shopping, darling! I'll be in touch shortly with the details. Thanks to all for entering!

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! xoxo

Folliage Take Two!

Folliage Take Two!

Happy Friday, lovelies! The weekend's finally here and I couldn't be happier! I'm finally feeling all better and am ready to take on this foliage I so long to see. Planning on heading out on a little excursion with J, my sister and brother-in-law to pumpkin pick, sip some cider, eat some caramel apples and at long last spot some magnificent foliage.

What do you all have planned this weekend? Hope you all have a lovely one!
