the first snow

Today is october 18 and it's snowing. As excited as I was for the first snow, I was hoping it would hold off until December, maybe November. I was looking forward to a magical Lorelei Gilmore moment of experiencing the first snow of the season. Smelling the snow and running outside in the middle of the night to see the fluffy stuff blanketing everything in shimmering white snow. I had, after all, never experienced a first snow until today.

Here's hoping for a few more weeks of fall and a few more warm days until the cold settles in.

daydreaming: a weekend in nyc

Lately, I've been dreaming of a little weekend getaway to New York City. There's something magical about being in the city during the changing of the seasons. The window displays, the colorful leaves in central park, the chill in the air. ah...

This is what I've been dreaming about doing for a weekend away:

Staying here. Because, how cute?

Eating here. My city friends rave about it.

Shopping here. Because I've only been dreaming about it for last year.

Visiting this museum. Have you been? It looks incredible.

Going to an aerial yoga class here. Because it is so much fun, and I miss my regular practice.

And, of course, a little stop at this favorite spot for a delicious dinner and chai.

What about you? What are your favorite things to do in the city?

happy weekend!

Happy weekend from these new little corner of the internet! It's rainy and chilly here in Western Mass, which means I'll probably be spending most of my weekend curled under my covers or in a cozy little tea shop.

What are your plans for the weekend?
