a winter wonderland

how lovely is this season? besides the constant chill of an old colonial house in nh during decemeber, i do love this time of year. i spent today with an old friend. we enjoyed the snow and literally spent the entirety of today drinking coffee and reading magazine for inspiration for the upcoming season. my spring wish-list is currently under construction 

(kate spade, i'm coming for you). 

as you may be able to tell, the upper east corner of the us is facing quite a snowy season.

what i wore:

vintage sweater

madewell black skinnies

vintage belt

dolce vita booties

aint she a cutie? i do love this girl and her flawless sense of style.

what olivia wore:

madewell scarf

burberry coat

american eagle skinnies

nordstrom booties

my current reading list:

everyone needs to go pick up alexa chung's new book. it is amazing.

i hope everyone is having a stress-free holiday season! i can't wait to do spend tomorrow in the kitchen baking up a storm.

white riot

i feel so blessed at this point in my life. as the weather gets colder (and i get fatter) i get jollier. doesn't seem to make sense, but it is true. i love the christmas holiday, and don't even get me started on thanksgiving! we will be hosting thanksgiving at my house this year and i am quite excited. i love cooking and baking for the holidays. i have my pinterest board filled with delicious goodness. 

i got a haircut. chopped off close to seven inches, i was hyperventilating in the salon chair, but i was pleasantly surprised on how it turned out. thoughts?

i went out with a girlfriend last night for (epically delicious) sushi. we ate at genki ya and i would definitely recommend it. 

outfit cred: top shop skinnies, nasty gal top, & vintage biker jacket.

i am so excited for the holidays! get ready for many pictures of food & family.

fall inspirations | wildly simple

oh how i love fall, im very simplistic in fall. maybe its my october birthday or the acceptance of scarves, or maybe its the reminder christmas is approaching. fall is very a wonderful time of year, especially in new england.

 these are my new obsessions:

madewell's transport tote | i love this bag, it fits everything i need, its large yet simple and lays on my shoulder comfortably. i would definitely recommend it.

madewell's billie boot | no, madewell isn't paying me, i just love their products. these are super comfortable and lovely, they match everything and provide a polished look.

is it wrong i have started my christmas shopping? and christmas recipe collecting? its october, thats soon enough right? i cant wait for the lights and the snow and my parent's wood stove. my boyfriend and i just booked our late november trip for nyc and i am so excited. im going to spend the whole day in the met. hear that scott? the met, not the natural history museum. (we've been battling over it, he has already lost on a knick's game). im sad jimmy fallon is moving to la, although i am happy for his success, i never got a chance to see him live...maybe one day. 

oh yeah! something exciting happened, my birthday was monday and my boyfriend and i were leaving the movie theatre on the boston commons when out of nowhere comes tom brady and gisele. it was quite fun to experience--tom told me happy birthday (we are on a first-name basis now). 

oh fall, its only been a short while and the magic has already started. 

i shall leave you with this, it makes me smile. till next time friends.
