Fall Family Fun
Earlier this month we went to Lewin Farm, out in Calverton, NY for some pumpkin and apple picking. Whenever I had gone pumpkin picking in the past, the pumpkins were already picked, laid out in a field, or on a table. Since this was how I had always done it, it was fine. BUT, a dear friend told me that it is not real pumpkin picking (cue initial eye roll), and recommended we go to Lewin Farm, where the pumpkins were still on the vine! I have to admit, it was super cute. I don’t know why it made such a difference for me, but it did feel like a…

Leather Weather
It’s officially fall in New York! I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this season. Chilly weather, cuddles, beautiful leaves. Not to mention, apple pie <3 . It’s perfection. Today was chilly enough that I had to wear my (vegan) leather jacket! Next up? Boots and vests and scarves.. OH MY!

Road to Rhode Island
This past weekend, Hubs and I went to Newport, RI for our anniversary (awwww.) I had previously been there some years ago, but he had never been, so I booked a quick little getaway for us. IT. WAS. LOVELY!!! Our first stop was to tour a couple of the mansions, because, duh, Newport. We saw the Breakers and Rose Cliff, the latter of which was my dream wedding spot. Unfortunately some of the outside walls and grounds were being restored, but all in all, still great tours. After the mansions we checked into an adorable little B&B, and headed off the lunch. Lunch at the Wharf Pub was soooo good.…

A Day at the Open
A few days ago we went to the US Open. While it proved a little difficult going with a cranky and teething toddler, overall we had a good time, and were even able to watch a whole match (Monfils vs. Almagro)! And of course, we had to have the Grey Goose Honey Deuce; definitely one of my favorite sweet drinks, and one that I’ve enjoyed making this weekend as well. The grounds for the most part are pretty stroller friendly, and the stadiums (at least Ashe & “new” Grandstand) had elevators. And even though we didn’t really take our little one out of the stroller, it does help if…

Singing in the rain (natch)
Dress: BCBG | Shoes: Coach (via 6pm) | Watch: Burberry | Bracelets: Michelle Valerie Boutique, J. Crew Factory, New York & Company | Umbrella: San Francisco Umbrella Company This umbrella is my absolute favorite umbrella! I have a very goofy and lovable golden retriever, so when I saw this on Gilt a couple of years ago, I, of course, had to have it. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how sturdy it is. This umbrella holds up to the wind SO well, which comes in handy whether I’m caught in a summer downpour, or winter snow storm!
