It's A Beautiful Day In My Neighborhood


As soon as I woke up this morning I was beyond excited to hear that it was in the low 50s! HELLO AUTUMN! I have been waiting for this cooler weather for quite some time...mainly so I could wear my new faux fur coat. It's not heavy enough for winter wear...so I have to give it as much attention in fall as possible.

Today was also a great morning to go for a walk around my neighborhood (Williamsburg, Brooklyn). I definitely wanted to stop by this new mural that Kobra just put up last week. It is amazing! I mean, his work always is, but this mural made the art history major in me swoon.


Even Rocko liked it!!!  :-)


A staple in my wardrobe has to be black booties. I just realized that I have five pairs of short black ankle boots...and I don't think that is enough. Yeah, I'm kind of obsessed. What is your must have wardrobe staple???

Rocko and I might look happy here but we're both sick. I think I'm coming down with the cold my husband had last week (ugh!), and poor little Rocko is having the worst allergy attacks lately. I have to call the vet this morning, and hopefully his doctor can see him today. Fingers crossed! I hate it when this fluffball isn't feeling well.

Governors Island Adventure


Considering the amount of time my husband and I have lived in NYC it's kind of crazy that we have never ventured out to Governors Island. Knowing that this weekend was the last to head out there for the season, we decided to hop on the ferry and go on a little adventure! The weather was so fantastic (actually a little hot for me...where's autumn hiding???) it was great to be out of the apartment and exploring something new together.


I really love this dress. It's insanely soft and light. Have you tried the Conscious Collection at H&M? What do you think of their items?

Governors Island had beautiful parks and amazing sculptures everywhere. Here are some of my favorites...






And check out the views...




The homes that are there are also a sight to see.


While we were there most of the yellow houses were displaying artwork in them. Some really amazing pieces...and some really off the wall stuff. I wouldn't have it any other way.



Before we left we picked up an amazing ice cream sandwich from Melt Bakery. We opted for The Morticia which was crackly chocolate cookies + malted chocolate rum ice cream. Delicious!

I hope you all are having a great weekend. Get out there and enjoy it! And if you are in the NYC area, take the ferry to Governors Island tomorrow. It's definitely worth it!
