Putting up the tree

Henri Bendel aka the best place on Earth

   Yesterday I spent the day in the city with my best friend shopping & walking around the city.  I absolutely love the city this time of year.  The weather is perfect and the few Christmas decorations are beautiful!  I can't wait until after Thanksgiving to see more go up!  The christmas tree in Rockerfeller center was put up yesterday and it was, as always, something fun to see.  We also got a chance to see some of the Veteran’s day parade on Fifth Avenue.

I love wearing big chunky sweaters with leggings and boots during the Fall/Winter seasons.  It’s my go to outfit.  I recently bought this sweater at Century 21 and love the neck.  I usually hate turtlenecks and cowl necks, however I really like this one.  It was perfect for the chilly weather yesterday.

Have a great week!

Blackout in October

 I was so excited to finally have the chance to blog this weekend since my soccer season is now over and I finally have some free time...however then we lost power due to the 'snowstorm' here in New Jersey. It was luckily restored today! When I first heard we were going to get some snow I thought it would just be a few flurries, but we got a decent amount of snow.  Powerlines and trees are down all over town and resulted in no school tomorrow!  It's so crazy since it isn't even halloween yet!  

     Anyway, I love how yesterday was a chance to try out some new goodies from Nordstrom!  I bought this sweater and these leggings when they had their anniversary sale and it was finally cold enough yesterday to wear them.  I love big, chunky sweaters in the wintertime with leggings and jeans.  I'm really into patterns for this fall/winter instead of dark solids like previous years.  And I absolutely love the leggings!  The front is a nylon/faux-leather material while the back is a comfy, warm fabric.

Hope everyone who was affected by the snow is safe!

Have a Happy Halloween!
