Celebrating Spring

Celebrating Spring         

Spring has sprung! Kind of! If you're in New England like me, you know temps are rising but they're not necessarily warm yet. But the promise of warmer seasons does make you want to change your wardrobe over to lighter clothes and brighter colors. Luckily, I've figured out a good uniform for putting out springtime vibes while still managing to stay warm enough. I present to you: a jumpsuit and a cardigan.  The jumpsuit itself is perfect for looking springy while keeping warm ; jumpsuits that are coming out now will be  lighter materials or fun patterns. The long pants keep you covered and a simple layered cardigan keeps you cozy on top while still not giving off winter vibes. I paired my outfit with a fair of wedge espadrilles for an extra dose of springtime celebration.

Gift Guide

Gift Guide

Picking out gifts is not always an easy task. I'm here to help by offering up some of my personal favorites of the season! This list can help you find gifts to give friends or family or even add to you own wish list. As a note, this guide is much easier to view on a laptop than on a mobile device due to the collage structure.

A Walk in the Park

A Walk in the Park

I am always thankful for where I go to school. Living right outside of Boston is nice; it allows you all the freedom to explore the city with none of the negatives like expenses and traffic. However, with such a busy academic life, sometimes I forget to utilize the amazing capital right next door. This weekend, I took some time to slow down and visit. Leon and I headed into Beacon Hill, known for its historic charm. We shared brunch and strolled through the park, realizing how quickly the cold was settling in on us. We grabbed coffee and cookies, we relaxed. It may sound uneventful, but it was exactly what I needed. The title of this particular post is actually rather ironic, because my life is anything but a walk in the park right now. Nearing the end of my senior fall semester, I am stressing about jobs, living situations, medical school and graduation. I recently registered for the MCAT and have officially started a schedule that dedicates 20 hours a week to studying, not to mention classes, homework, exercise, social life and remembering to feed myself. So I took this weekend to take my final deep breath before I plunged ahead with a new, rigorous schedule. It felt nice to enjoy my last few days of freedom, and I'm here to remind you that breaks are okay and sometimes necessary. Always schedule in free time for yourself and remember to practice self care. You'll thank yourself later. With some personal thoughts out of the way, I am happy to say I was finally able to break out my wool coat and winter accessories. This jewel-tone coat is a favorite of mine from last season, but J.Crew Factory still carries it for a steal!

November Pumpkins

November Pumpkins

I don't know about you guys, but I am a strong believer in pumpkins until December. For some reason, many people choose to jump right from Halloween to Christmas and completely leave out Thanksgiving. For me, this in between season is a nice time for relaxation, family and enjoying the end of autumn. With this belief in mind, we headed to Hanson's Farm to pick out a few more pumpkins for the front yard. This farm offers PYO pumpkins, a hayride, cornmaze and fully stocked farm stand. The pumpkins were HUGE and lots of fun to wander through. In this nice transitional weather, I was able to wear a suede skirt but opted to pair it with a heavier sweater. Also, if you don't have a pair of knee high boots, scroll down for a few options (they're a seasonal must have!).
