I go through different color-combination crushes often. You may remember it was navy blue + kelly green a few weeks ago, and right now it’s pale pink + gold. I’m thinking that means it’s Nutcracker season and all the ballet-inspired looks are getting to me…!

Spiked Cider

Cinnamon schnapps, cinnamon sticks, and warm apple cider? What’s not to love about this fall cocktail courtesy of one of my go-to books, Party Drinks!? I highly suggest this spiced treat this time of year, preferably while wearing similar attire.

Knit Sweater with Skirt, c/o Sincerely Sweet Boutique // Heartbreaker Sunglasses, Urban Outfitters // Belt, vintage // Bracelets, Skiler Love; Glitterboxjewelry via Etsy; Alex & Ani // Pearls, J.Crew // Desert boots, [similar]

Last Saturday may or may not have been the most perfect fall day in Boston. One of those days when you curse the sun for setting so early, and you have no shame prancing around in a tulle skirt with pearl details out of pure happiness– in this case, one that is attached to an adorable navy sweater that forms to make the most perfect little dress. I found this little gem at Sincerely Sweet Boutique– an online retailer based out of Orange County, CA with an endless supply of feminine, vintage-inspired, and downright sweet fashions and accessories. I also snagged this Peter Pan statement collar and cannot wait to pair it with a number of chunky knits this winter!

By the Fire

There is something so perfectly autumnal about cozying up around a big bonfire with hot chocolate and s’mores. My friends used to treck out to the quiet suburban areas of Cambridge from downtown Boston numerous times a year for these, but there is no better time to host them than fall.

AND, while we’re on the subject of photography– has anyone had any experience with the new Sony RX100? Point and shoot meets DSLR… I’m intrigued but need to hear more! Let me know! xx

As much as I love my New England summers, I can’t deny how beautiful a crisp fall day along the water can be as well. This Lighthouse is my happy place, has been since I was a little girl, and is during all seasons.

Sweater Weather

After a mild October up here in New England, it is now officially sweater weather. Here are some knits I’d be perfectly happy cozying up in as the temperature continues to drop…

I’m a little bit in love with mixing fancy skirts wine comfy knits lately. They help tone down the flashiness of the outfit, making daytime sequins all the more appropriate!
