Truth be told, I have a hard time putting together super-casual outfits. When I look into my closet, my first instinct is to reach for sparkly shoes, faux fur shrugs and party dresses. In other words… I’m basically a 5-year-old at heart! But since performing tasks like picking up the laundry, shopping for new furniture and making a trip to the hardware store generally call for less formal attire (adulting is SO HARD sometimes), I put this outfit on instead this past weekend. To give the look a little panache, I borrowed one of my husband’s pocket squares to tie around  my neck and threw on a pair of oversized shades… well oversized on most people’s domes. On me, they just look normal. #BigHeadProblems

Travel Diary: The Perfect Fall Day at Bear Mountain

I was born and raised in Detroit and never spent much time in the great outdoors growing up. Once I came to NYC for college, my idea of nature was cutting across Central Park on my to the Metropolitan Museum of Art… and even that gave me allergies. As you can probably tell, I’m a city-slicker through and through. But over the past few years, I’ve started stepping out of my comfort zone and have actually come to love spending time in nature. Eric and I have tried our hands (and feet) at skiing, horseback riding, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, mountain climbing, and more, but I think the major turning point was our trip to Alaska last summer. We had so many WOW experiences during those 10 days that made us truly appreciate all that nature has to offer. Oh, and we also bought a TON of outdoor sports apparel that we now feel compelled to put to good use!

The temps have finally started to cool down in NYC, and I’m loving it. The mornings are crisp enough for cardigan or light jacket, and the afternoons are absolute bliss with temps in the low 70s or high 60s. So while I wait to break out my boots and sweaters, I’m enjoying this time with great transitional pieces like this long-sleeve maxi dress that I picked up over the summer. I recently wore it to a weekend jaunt to Parker & Quinn for drinks and an early dinner after an afternoon of power shopping.
