Hi guys! I'm feeling pretty ready for a cozy holiday tomorrow how about you? I have to go in to work in the morning (the shelter animals need to eat too on this holiday!) and then we are headed to R's moms for a super low key day of eating and relaxing. Also, I can't wait to put up our little baby christmas tree.

Outfit Details:
Dress + Coat - Vintage/ thrifted
Boots + Tights- Target
Bow - Blackberry Maverick

I know this next month is just going to fly by! With thanksgiving, my birthday next week, holiday gatherings, and then a flight home to NJ for Christmas, it's going to be quite the whirlwind. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow!

p.s. COLORADO FRIENDS! Have you guys heard of the 1940s & 50s White Christmas Ball that takes place in Denver on December 5th? It's an awesome event where you get to don your best vintage holiday frock, dance, and mingle! You can check out the website here and let me know if you think you'll be going, I think I'll be there!

A day in Siracusa, Sicily

Hi guys, long time no see! I've finally had a productive day off, shipping orders and cleaning my office and thought I'd post another overdue update from my trip to Sicily last month. These photos were taken on a day R and I wandered around the old part of Siracusa called Ortygia. Definitely one of the prettiest old cities and favorite days of the trip!

Outfit Details:
Dress - vintage
Tote - Baggu
Scarf - Charlotte Russe
Hat - Eddie Bauer
Sandals - Clarks

Winding alleys, crumbling ruins, and an adorable Sicilian boy playing the accordion in front of a church with a pimp cup out. I wish I had taken photos of the little apartment we rented here. If you are planning a trip here any time soon, definitely let me know because I would highly recommend the place we stayed! How have you guys been, I wish there were more hours in the day to catch up on blogs! Hope everyone is doing well!

Taormina Villa (Sicily Travel Journal Pt. 1)

Hi Friends,

Back from vacation now, wahhhh! Had an amazing time exploring Sicily the past two weeks though and thought I would share an outfit and a few photos from the trip. These were all taken on the grounds of a beautiful villa hotel next to an apartment we were renting in Taormina. It looked so pretty at dusk it was like a fairytale.

Anyway, back to the real world now. I am about to crawl in bed and its not even 7pm yet, but an 8 hour time difference will do that to you! Work should be interesting in the morning... What have you guys been up to?!

Welcome to Fall Roundup

Good Morning!

I thought it might be fun to welcome in fall with a little roundup of my favorite outfits from this time last year. I always enjoy looking through old posts because it makes me more excited to get dressed and get creative for the new season!

Do you have a favorite? With my new work schedule and the move, I have been having trouble trying to scrounge together time to take pictures of my outfits (or get dressed in anything other than leggings honestly)! I do feel a new burst of autumn inspiration now though. Off to enjoy my day off and check some things off my to-do list! Happy autumn to you!
