What I packed for the Finger Lakes


This week, we are going up to the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York. I am SO excited for this road trip- we have an Air BnB and plans to soak up everything the area has to offer. We picked the Finger Lakes because we could drive there, NY has great COVID protocols, and we knew that it would be easy to socially distance in all the outdoor spaces/activities/wineries. It might be a bit chilly, but I am packing all of my cute layers, and am ready!

I sorted this list somewhat by activity: outdoors/hiking, sightseeing (wineries 😋), and outerwear (yes, I am bringing my winter coats because I hate being cold!).

I took a quick photo of my messy packing pile, hah.


Outdoors/Hiking:

I mostly packed leggings and layers. I really do not like feeling cold, but some fall days start chilly and by midday you think its summer and you are roasting in your sweater, haha. I love the Swiftly's from Lululemon and also love their Wunder Under Luxtreme leggings for activity.

Sightseeing:

Here, I had fun bringing pieces to mix and match like sweaters, skirts and button-ups. I made sure to bring a few pairs of sweater tights! I really did not buy much new for this trip- just a sweater and a skirt- and it was fun to bring old pieces in my closet back to life in new looks!

Outerwear: 

I definitely brought my winter coat just in case. I do not like being/feeling cold! I also brought some lighter layers for jackets and mittens, a hat and a scarf. A scarf is great because you can use it as a shawl if it is not chilly enough for a full jacket but not warm enough to go without something.

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...
