I’m not going to lie to you, I am so sad to be back home. For the first time in a while, I wasn’t looking forward to going home. I’ve been tired of living in Miami since forever and can’t wait to move once I graduate. While I still don’t know where life will take me, I’m hoping it’s to NYC! I have always loved this city. Ever since I was younger (around 6) and started visiting when I lived in Connecticut for a few years. There’s something so magical about it and I couldn’t think of a better place to grow my blog and myself than in New York City.

I shot this look over the weekend on the most quaint street right by Central Park. This red door is actually the front door of a townhouse!  I mean, come on. I’d take that in a heartbeat. This striped sweater is my go-to this fall and, although I wish I got it in a S and not a M, it is so cozy and perfect for on-the-go. They actually now added two more colors so it comes in a total of four! I love that it’s a classic but it doesn’t break the bank (only $34!).

I absolutely love mixing stripes and plaid. So I added in this plaid scarf that is only $20. It’s a tan multicolored scarf so it basically matches with anything!

As you can tell, I lightened my hair again. I’ll be keeping it like this until the spring and then I’ll decide what I want to do. I love my hair lighter, though! I’ll also be sharing a NYC travel diary this week and I’ll go over some of my favorite places I ate, shopped and more.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! xo
