Fall Favorites

These are some things I really like:

Bright coats. Plaid. Over-the-knee boots. Puffer vests. Burgundy. Felt hats. Leather jackets.

“Really like” means they rank above “like” but below “love.” So for comparison’s sake, I like The Office, but I love Parks and Rec. I like salsa, but I love guacamole. I like bunnies, but I love cats. I like brunch, but I love boozy brunch. Just kidding, I love all brunch. But you get the idea.

Just to prove how much I really like that list of things up there, here’s how I’ve been wearing all of them over the past couple weeks! (Shop the goods in the widgets below.)

Black Friday in NYC

When: Black Friday // Weather: 50s // Real life: day 2 in NYC!

Fun fact: I bought this hat on a whim while at Target getting stuff for my trip. Another fun fact: I took it to New York and wore it for 10 minutes before a pigeon pooped on my head. I guess it’s better than poop in my hair?

Anyway, Day 2 in NYC was a big one! We started the day at the 9/11 Museum. Despite the fact the flow of the main exhibit is terrible, and despite the fact the subject matter is depressing as hell, it is still worth a visit. In 2001, I was too busy being an angry teenager to really process and care about everything that happened. This time around, I had a lot more appreciation for what so many people went through that day. That’s about as close as this heartless fembot comes to empathy. 😉

To balance out the somber start to the day, we partook in the great American past time of Black Friday shopping. In SoHo. Go big or go home, right? Surprisingly, I didn’t go too crazy. My favorite purchase was a pair of tassel earrings from Club Monaco.

But wait! I saved the best for last. The day ended with Waitress the Musical (thanks to my MIL for the tickets)! It. Was. Amazing. I usually prefer a dance-heavy musical and this one was pretty minimal on movement, but it was funny and sweet and happy and sad and Jessie Mueller melted my face off and it smelled like pie (seriously). And…AND…after the show we met Headmaster Charleston from Gilmore Girls!!!

Told you it was a big day. Totally forgot about my poop hat by the end.
