Picking apples for a day

My friends and I escaped the city on a Saturday to partake in a quintessential fall outing: apple picking!

We passed the surprisingly hot and sunny afternoon tree climbing, taste testing and quite literally losing ourselves in the orchard ("I could have sworn we parked next to these red delicious trees!?") 

That evening, we triumphantly returned to our concrete jungle with enough yummy, crisp apples to see us through until November...

Man Sweaters

Confession: my coziest sweater is from the men's department. Hands down, guy sweaters are always the comfiest and most inviting to wear when the weather gets chillier. Some of the best in my collection were graciously "donated" by old sweethearts...

I'd wear these two pieces from Jack Spade with skinny jeans, lace-up oxfords and aviators as an homage to the beautiful fall light.

A Capitol Autumn

Happy November, everyone!

I was lucky enough to be in Washington, D.C. this past weekend for the Rally to Restore Sanity. I just couldn't help but post this photo that I took afterwards from a little bit east of the Lincoln Memorial. Isn't our capitol pretty? Hope you had a festive Halloween!
