Growing up, there weren’t many places close by to shop. In fact, the closet mall and the closet outlet stores were both around 45 minutes away. So it wasn’t odd to make a weekend trip out of shopping and exploring what else the area had to offer to make the traveling worth it. One of…
While I grew up in upstate New York, I probably spent 25% of my awake hours one state over in Bennington, Vermont. To be fair, I lived right near the VT/NY border, so heading on over to Vermont was only a 15 or 20-minute drive. Bennington is where I worked (I worked in a deli…
Whether you’re doing family photos with a professional or just taking a few snaps yourself, your outfit is a huge part of the experience. I’d dare to say the outfit can really make or break the photos. Fall backdrops (think red/orange/yellow leaves, hay bales, and pumpkins) lend themselves to great photos and lots of color…
Last fall, James and I drove upstate to visit my parents for our annual fall weekend. We usually go to our same fall spots (The Apple Barn to get the best cider donuts ever, and Liberty Ridge Farms to do fun fall things), but not this year. My parents wanted to take us to Weston, Vermont,…
Dorset, Vermont is a small town in Southern Vermont known for the gorgeous fall views and hiking trails. Last fall we spent a day exploring Dorset and the surrounding areas. While we ate and shopped a little, the main attraction was taking photos outdoors and then walking through the Dorset Marble Quarry. Here is my…

While some people go crazy with Halloween-themed decorations, I prefer to stick to a neutral fall style. When we lived in an apartment, I barely decorated for any holiday. The apartment was old and gross, and I…
Fall is a tricky season to dress for. Since it turned fall officially here in NJ/NYC, I’ve worn both my winter coat and my summer sandals. But global warming isn’t real, right? rolls eyes It’s even tougher to dress for when you’re going to be inside and not sure if the heat will be turned…
Summer and fall are my two favorite seasons. In fact, the transition from summer’s heat to the fresh scent of fall (“crisp leaves” is how I would describe this scent) is my favorite time of the entire year. We obviously all change our wardrobes during this seasonal transition, but how many of us think of…
