Instagrams from around the city as the holiday gets closer and closer! Linking up with a {little} dash of ash!
Weekends at Home
These past four days were exactly what I needed. Weekends at our new home are perfectly filled with lots of:
food. drink.
crafting.
sparkle.
seafaring.
and not-too-bad views.
I hope you all had wonderful Thanksgiving weekends full of whatever makes you happy too 🙂 Linking up with a {little} dash of ash with these Instagrams! Happy Monday!

Thankful.
Cue typical day-before-Thanksgiving post.
But in all seriousness, I have a lot to be thankful for.
I’ll keep it short and sweet. I feel so lucky everyday for my supportive family, near and far. For my friends, old and new. For CEM II, who can brighten my day in a second.
For dance, for a job I love, for the blogging community. For cakepops, sequins, bows, chai tea lattes, pink, Pinterest, and parades.
Wishing everyone a very happy, safe, and filling Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’ll be back on Monday 🙂

Awkward:
-Holding an umbrella up for far too long before realizing I’m covered by the bus stop.
-Visiting NYC and of all the millions of people in that city, my friend/hostess and I run into her senior prom date. Who she has not spoken to since that night.
-Did anyone else know that vitamins absolutely must be taken with food? No just me? I learned that one the hard way this week.
-Returning to my college’s online career services page, which I used to stalk daily while in school searching for jobs and internships, only this time as an employer. Am I getting old?
Awesome:
–Once Upon a Time. I’m not saying it’s the best show on television right now. But it has got me intrigued like no other.
-Visits from my very own Prince Charming 🙂
-Food memoirs and food and Sassy Girl Book Club!
-Finding an old gift card I had won on a giveaway back in the summer and using it to purchase a very lovely party dress.
-A giveaway of my own! Have you entered yet?

New York City
Finally, some photos from my trip to NYC last week!
Every time I visit New York, I think I begin to see it less and less as a tourist. But I still can’t help but attempt to capture it through a thousand photos! So maybe once a tourist, always a tourist…

Awkward:
-Getting kicked out of Starbucks at 6:20 pm when they close at 7, so the employee could wash the floors. I understand, you’ve had a long day, but when I worked in the food industry, we didn’t even begin cleaning until our actual closing time. And even then we didn’t kick out dawdlers!
-Being caught as a part of the only group in costume not once but twice this Halloween season.
-Forgetting where the question mark key [?] is on my computer while typing this morning. How does that even happen?
Awesome:
-Going to NEW YORK this weekend to see my bff [kTk]!
-Hanging out with a certain funny character from a certain movie [Superbad] last weekend 🙂
-My Halloween outfit pictured above [since my office was not keen on dressing in costume] is pumpkin-themed!
–SYDNEY [the host of these glorious A&A Thursday link ups] HAD HER BABY!!

Halloween Scenes
Happy Halloween ladies n’ gents!! I hope you all enjoyed your Halloweekends and that your Monday is still candy- and costume-filled!
I realized this weekend that I love this city because ever since about Thursday, no matter what time of day, no matter where I was, there was always someone in costume. 1 pm bus ride on Saturday? Bumblebee. 5 pm dinner? Mummy. Etc, etc. I admire these people.
Linking up with a {little} dash of ash today to share all these Instagrams! You should too 😉

Awkward:
-Ran to catch a subway the other day and actually got stuck in the doors as they were closing. My friends had to help me squeeze in. Terrifying. Humiliating.
-I forgot to bring sneakers to my dance rehearsal last night. And the socks I brought were brand new. Let me tell you, attempting hip hop in slippery socks? Bad life choice.
-Got out of the shower this morning with virtually all of my shampoo and conditioner still in my hair….
-Our television now kind of turns on whenever it feels like it. Meaning we either have a ghost, or some funny neighbors who have very good aim with a remote.
-SIX MORE BUG BITES.
Awesome:
-Appetizers. Seriously I wish every meal could just be appetizers.
-My graduation memory boxes were featured on Molly’s Anthrofied DIY Challenge! The most exciting.
-ICED pumpkin lattes for these crazy warm but still fall-filled days! What a fabulous invention.
-Last weekend I went to an amazizing farmer’s market and loaded up on all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and cheeses, and and these pretty little babies:
Happy [almost] Friday everyone!
