my favorite weather can be classified as easily as cold weather; this could mean a rainy, blustery day, or a day where the air is crisp and turning leaves are being stirred by whispering winds, or a day where the first flurry starts to fall. these different scenarios are the reason why i love the cold, and what makes new york during the fall oh so magical. if you were to ask me my favorite season, the decision between winter and fall is tough, but i’ve finally figured it out… i will say my favorite season is fall, but my favorite short and fleeting period of time is during christmas in new york. if you want to see real magic, i highly recommend visiting during this time of year.

however, instead of getting sidetracked, let’s get back to fall. you’ll find me bundled up in a flannel or a sweater coat, with a chai in hand and a book in my lap… throw in a new show on tv and we’re good to go.  (speaking of new shows, i highly recommend “good girls revolt” on amazon; i got through it in three days and it’s an easy to show to breeze through.) now it’s easy to stay cozy and warm indoors, but let’s not forget the walks to central park or along the high line, where the changing trees make up for the swarms of tourists new yorkers try to bypass. visits to the farmer markets on tiny side streets or grabbing some pumpkin treats at my favorite bakery is what makes this time of year one of my favorites. so november, i’m ready for you, in all the glory that you bring and all the beauty you bring to the city.

city style .jpg

a month has gone by since my last post, and here we are in december… i have zero idea how that happened, but i’ve gotten used to the whole “time flies” concept at this point. i will be posting a glimpse into my fall experiences in new york, but for now i wanted to talk a little bit about my cold weather staples…

the oversized coat | so this style has sadly sold out, but i love oversized sweater-style coats. they protect you from the cold, feel like a blanket, and this one here looks oh so stylish.

the turtleneck dress | i don’t know when or how my love for this style got reignited (dramatic, i know), but i have been into this look again. this dress is beyond comfortable, cozy, not itchy, and warm.

the nudes | i am all about nude lips in all different forms, whether it’s lip gloss, lipstick, lip tint. the same can also be said for my nail polish choices (essie bordeaux/picked perfect, i’m looking at you…). i stick to berries and nudes during the colder months, but if i’m going to be honest with myself it’s more often a “natural” lip that you’ll find me wearing.

the tartan scarf | here’s the thing: i love the cold. i love it so much that i don’t really have issues walking to work during the winter as long as i’m bundled up. i really love this option and this one.

the over the knee boot | god knows the 5050 boot by stuart weitzman is beautiful… but god also knows it’s ridiculously expensive. i have been trying to find a dupe for a long, LONG time, so when i found these on sale on amazon i was more than happy. plus they’re very comfy, which is a plus…

the minimalist jewelry |  i love rings, but the downside of them is that basically none of them ever fit my fingers. thankfully knuckle rings help a bit with this issue. i love this set from essie. they’re simply, pretty, and one or two actually make a big difference for your “look” (or so i’d like to think).

the open-toed booties | these shoes are where it’s at. i’ve been kind of obsessed with them for a while, but finally decided to go for them thanks to some insane cyber monday savings. seriously, amazon fashion is unreal and their deals are hard to beat. these shoes are full price everywhere else except for amazon and add an additional 30% off and you’ve got yourself a steal.

apartment

{ getting the new room all set up }

hello and goodbye to september, you were here and gone oh, so quickly. i’ve been told that you won’t really realize college is over until you get to october, and it starts to hit you. this is true… i’ve started to realize now more than ever, “here i am in the real world, and i’m not going anywhere.” it’s been a realization, but that’s what happens when you’re growing up… or so i’ve been told. here’s a little look into my september, which i still can’t believe is over.
