With the change of weather quickly upon us here in the big apple, all I want at the end of everyday is to cozy up and keep as warm as possible.  Now these heavenly homes have just what I'm looking for-- neutral color, pillows galore, a touch of glam, and plush blankets.  Need I say more?  Can Santa bring me these fab living spaces on December 25th?

Happy Heart

Check out a few things that are filling up my heart lately:


Spending time in my city with these great girls definitely recharged me.
Made it to the village Halloween parade, saw these skeletons in the sky.
Worshiped and enjoyed fellowship at my favorite place to spend my Sunday.
Harry's robes on display in D.C.
Couldn't stop staring at this beyond gorgeous underpass in Central Park.

Icon Item: The Hat

This season I have been loving hats.  I have been gathering inspiration from some of my favorite style bloggers.  Number one on my list is a red hat-- this is by far my favorite fall color.  A hat is a perfect way to pull together any daytime outfit and is great to throw over last night's hair for a quick and polished look.

In Full Swing

Fall is in full swing around here.  Saturday was the most beautiful fall day I have ever seen!  Coming from a season-less state, it's exciting to see the weather turn, the leaves change, and enjoy some brisk morning walks to soak it all in.  With daylights saving upon us, by the time I head home from work, it is pitch black outside.  Fortunately though, the mornings are much brighter and get me going for the day!  I plan on taking full advantage of this sweet season.
