BAY RIDGE, I LOVE YOU

All I have to say is that I love my new neighborhood. So stinkin' much.

Who wants to come visit?!

Hey, guess what? It's finally a post from where I actually live.. New York City. Photos from my weekends spent outside the city have overtaken my blog, but I promise that my city of residence will be showing up more.

Can't wait to get on the bus to head back to Maryland tonight. Praying the ride flies by!

These photos are from a little park Zachary and I stopped at this past Sunday. We enjoyed a quick picnic lunch while we were on the way back to the bus stop. I am extra excited that today is Wednesday because tomorrow I will be heading home to Maryland after work for an exciting event this weekend (I will share more details soon!). It will be a super long day, but it will all be worth it in the end. Cannot wait to see my family and friends back home. 

Hope everyone's week is going well. Cheers to it almost being the weekend!

TRAIL MAGIC

(Free People romper, sweater from Nordstrom, Madden girl sandals - similar, vintage bag, Michael Kors watch, bracelet from Plato's Closet, random sunglasses)

These photos are from a little stroll Zachary and I took in Harper's Ferry, WV on Memorial Day. Didn't know a post was going to come out of this, but I couldn't resist sharing one of my favorite places here again on the blog. Zachary was like a little kid in a candy store when he found out the Appalachian Trail runs through the town. The box of "trail magic" was outside of someone's house and filled with goodies for the hikers. Never knew there was this other whole world of hiking out there. It's true that we learn something new every day! 

SUNDAY BRUNCH

This Sunday was spent at brunch with Chanelle (check out her cute upside down braid), after being gifted with a Living Social deal from my lovely momma. The deal was for this little Italian restaurant near Cobble Hill in Brooklyn. Since we did not make reservations, they gave us the option of sitting outside. Just went with it, but the downside of that was slow service since we were the only ones out there. Not the best experience, but thankful that my mom thought of us! The day was also spent being brave and entering Trader Joe's for some groceries. If you don't know already, that place is one big madhouse here in the city. But, to me it's all worth it! I was one happy girl to finally make it there.

Now, we are spending this rainy night cooking up some french onion soup (well.. I am just kind of watching). She claims to be a pro, so I am ready to find out! Love spending my Sundays with good food, rest, and relaxation before starting another work week.

BUTTONED UP

(Collective Concepts dress, Hue tights, Nine West boots- similar, Danielle Nicole bag, Michael Kors watch, all vintage jewelry) 

I got this dress last summer when I was interning for Nordstrom in Dallas, but have only worn it a few times. It's one of those simple and easy dresses you don't have to add anything to. Decided to throw it on this morning with some tights and boots (since the weather has decided to turn into winter again). Surprised that it has not shown up on the blog sooner. Oh, and I thought I had lost this bag somewhere in between my travels last fall. Found it when I went back home and was so excited! It's one of my favorite bags. Love the Missoni-inspired chevron print.
