night life | the north end

i will not be the first to say boston's north end is simply wonderful. good food, quaint surroundings, fun and interesting people. you cannot go wrong. 

i love boston night life. perhaps it's because boston remains a relatively early-bird city, unlike nyc, most bostonians actually go to bed at a reasonable hour. i am an early riser (at least i try to be) and i never feel alone or outcasted for liking to be in bed before the clock ticks midnight. 

the line at this tiny little place in the north end is ridiculous! every time i pass by there is a line of at least 20 people. i have waited in this line (in the middle of winter) and it was worth it. the food is incredible! you are rushed when eating (its a very small and crammed  place) but it is certainly an experience.

i drink coffee as if it was holy water. i love checking out new cafes. i found this one called equal exchange between the north end and north station and i loved the coffee and the atmosphere. i would definitely recommend it.

friends + coffee = daily joys

i love this city. that is the only way i can explain it. im so gracious to universe for providing me with such opportunity.

harvard | cambridge

ahh what a day. five hours of class, a two hour meeting, dinner with a friend, an early screening of last vegas, and coffee with a colleague. i am quite tired. 

yesterday was more of a relaxing day. i went to cambridge with my lovely gent for the holiday. the weather couldn't of been more perfect. we took a stroll through harvard university and a slow and peaceful walk admiring the old colonials down brattle street, i kept thinking one day...one day i may call a house of such grace home (dream big right?). until then ill just dream and stand back in awe. 

a picture of me on brattle st. i loved the cast iron fence. 

(jcrew jeans, madewell shoes, a vintage sweater, vintage dana buchman jacket, and madewell's transport tote).

harvard is just gorgeous. the courtyard was filled with hundreds of brightly covered chairs and benches. no matter the season, harvard always finds a way to look absolutely stunning. it is the best place to people watch (besides ikea of course). 

a trip to cambridge would not be complete without shopping in harvard square. the square has the best cafes and there is an adorable hat shop i would undoubtfully recommend. the music is usually fantastic as well. 

i enjoyed the day so much im already planning my next trip.

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.
