Our visit to Watkins Glen State Park
Our time in New York was pretty short and busy, but we wanted to fit in as much as possible. Our second day there we woke up at 5:30am and headed toward the finger lakes. They were about 2.5 hours away and we needed to be back in Buffalo for a dinner at 6pm. But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see Watkins Glen. It has been on my list for some time now and we were going to be so close to it! So, we rented a car for two days and crammed everything outside the city into it. The ride out there was so beautiful and most of…

The Embroidered Trend Continues
The embroidered trend continues into Spring and I can’t say I’m mad about it. This has to be one of my favorite fashion trends in awhile that I could wear every day. I remember when I was younger my mother use to sew embroidered ribbon to my pant’s legs to make them appear longer. I grew out of clothes so fast, this was an easy fix for an extra 2 inches. I always got excited to pick out the embroidered pattern, so you could guess how happy I was when it came back in style last Fall! One of my favorite embroidered pieces isn’t even clothing, it’s my phone case. Check out…

Velvet blazer
Zara always has some major sale going on and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to not get this blazer. I’ve been wanting a velvet blazer for some time, however, blazers are so hard to find that fit properly and aren’t over expensive! I took a chance and bought this one since it was under half the price it was original. And I love it! I took these photos before leaving on Vacation, so it’s much warmer now 🙂

Puerto Vallarta – Day 1
Heading to the New part of town Loved exploring the streets Made the mistake of petting the cat So, it followed us around a bit I’ve been back from Mexico two days and I’m ready to start planning for our next trip. I usually include all the details for our trip in one giant post, however, this time I am going to write smaller separate posts. For our first day in Mexico, we spent most of our time hanging out at our hotel/beach and exploring the city. This was the first trip that I did not plan everything before arriving. To tell you the truth, Puerto Vallarta seemed really touristy on…

Boyfriend coat
When I shared this look on Instagram, it received great feedback. So, I wanted to share it here where you can shop the look below. When I first saw it online I wasn’t too sure I would like it. I have such a love/hate relationship with anything boyfriend fit. I actually came back two days later to give it a try and I’m glad I did! I’ve been wearing this boyfriend coat non-stop lately. The fit is easily dressed up for the office or down for a day of errands and a plus its not too heavy!

Cardigan weather
As the weather gets warmer (then drops again) I cannot help to think of all the winter weather we did not have this year. I am such a fan of winter and upset I did not wear all of my winter coats to their fullest this year. Pretty soon I am going to be packing up all my winter clothes to make room for spring. Seems way too soon! Here are pictures from a warmer day last week. Below check out a few of my favorite cardigans for the warmer weather:

Rose Gold Christmas
This is my first year being able to really decorate for Christmas. Last year, we had a tree in our apartment but that’s about it! This year we don’t live in a small apartment and have room to decorate. I went with a rose gold silver theme, since our tree was mostly silver from last year and I didn’t want to buy all new ornaments. haha. Target and homegoods are my favorite places to look for decorations, I also picked up a few items from West Elm here and there. My favorite item has to be the Metal Snowflake Garland, I randomly ordered when I was buying Christmas gifts…

Shiny Knits
December has to be the most unpredictable month of the year in the south. Just the other day I was walking around the block in my workout shorts and now the weather is saying we are going to be getting freezing rain this weekend. I never know what to wear until I step outside in the mornings and the most frustrating is not being able to store my summer clothes away, because I might need them tomorrow! Anyway, while trying to organize my summer and winter clothes, I found this knit sweater dress I bought from MINKPINK (similar) during the Summer. I decided to dress it down a bit because…

The Grove Park Inn
See, huge fireplaces! Views from the Blue Ridge Restaurant “Smokey” because of the wild fires Have any of you ever been the the Grove Park Inn!?! If not, you need to make a trip tomorrow for real! Especially during the holidays when everything is decorated and beautiful. This was our second year making a trip to the Grove Park Inn to enjoy Sunday brunch with Colin’s parents. It never disappoints, it seriously is the best brunch I have ever had! Plus, it is a buffet and I never even have enough room to taste everything in the restaurant. I am still dreaming about the food 🙂 After brunch, we always spend some time…

The perfect tree
My boots were covered in dirt because it was so dry! Marley looks so confused lol Hot cider 🙂 This is our second year cutting our own tree and living together for the holidays!! I hope we can keep up this tradition up, because we both enjoy it. Last year we picked out the perfect little tree for our small one bedroom apartment (trust me, it was small!). This year we spent a good while finding one we thought would be small enough. However, when we brought it inside and opened it up, it was huge! We knew it was too big the second we stood it up and it hit our…
