BOO

HAPPY HALLOWEEN



I cannot believe it's Halloween already. That means the Holiday Season is upon us. YAY! This is my favorite time of year!!

 I'm a little sad though, this also means no more pumpkin coffee or pumpkin muchkins

Hope you have a great Halloween. Watch out for the ghosts and goblins.

Have a great day!!

Coach Classics

Many moons ago, I was very into Coach. I had a bunch of their bags which all have since gone onto new homes. The leather on them was like buttah (butter). As I got a little older, my love for coach faded, I didn't like the new look of the bags. They became way to trendy for me and I didn't like all the logos.  Now that the classics have been reintroduced, I'm all over them!!!


City Bag


Willis Bag


Ramblers Bag



I'm LOVING the Coach Classics. I especially love the color, British Tan.  It's a great neutral color that gets better and better over time. Nothing like an aged tan bag.

I wouldn't mind adding to any of the above to my closet.
The leather on them looks fantastic and since they are the classics they won't go out of style. 


Are you a fan of the Coach Classics?

Plymouth, Massachusetts

Over the weekend, JenniSixx and I spent the day in Plymouth, Massachusetts. You may have heard of Plymouth before. It's where the Pilgrims landed in 1620 to start over in the New World. 


In September 1620, during the reign of King James I, around 100 English men and women–many of them members of the English Separatist Church–set sail for the New World aboard the Mayflower, a three-masted merchant ship. The ship landed on the shores of Cape Cod, in present-day Massachusetts, two months later, and in late December anchored at Plymouth Rock, where they would form the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England. Though more than half the original settlers died during that grueling first winter, the survivors were able to secure peace treaties with neighboring Native American tribes and build a largely self-sufficient economy within five years.


 We didn't do much but walk around the beautiful Harbor.  Since it was a warm fall day, it was quite enjoyable to just walk around and take in all the history that was surrounding us. 

Here are the pictures I took.

I don't even know where to begin about Plymouth. It holds such a significant role in American History and there really is so much to see and do. There is also so much to learn. 

We did make sure to see Plymouth Rock.  While we had seen The Rock before, we had to see it again. The reason for that is, well, as kids, we always heard about THE ROCK and when you are a kid, everything is bigger, right? So, when you finally see The Rock, you are like, "Oh, THAT'S the ROCK!!", you are kind of disappointed.  It's much smaller than you think.  For some reason, that just makes us laugh. Of course, it was packed with excited tourists taking of pictures of it and of course, we had to do the same. Lol. 

To learn more about Plymouth, visit Destination Plymouth County
It's a great website to learn about Plymouth and the history of the Pilgrims.

Home Decor-Anthopologie

I have been on the hunt for some new home decor items,  a few new things to freshen up my house. I hadn't been to Anthropologie in a long time but I always see people recommending them for their cute home department. When I was in DC, I decided to check out the store.

I totally fell in love! Great stuff!!

These are the items that caught my eye!!


Simpatico Hobnail Candle


Chevron Frame

Monogram Mug

Whale Tape Dispenser


I would like one of each, please!! I love using little items to freshen up my home. For me, a few small items can make a world of  a difference.

The Anthropologie store in Georgetown was simply fantastic!!! It was two huge floors of great stuff. Although, I liked some of the clothing, it's not really my style. I feel that some of it looks a bit like a costume, at least for my lifestyle. However, their home department is incredible!! Loved it!!

Friday's Fancies-Costume Prep

Linking up with {av} for Friday's Fancies



Orange & Black

      

This week's Friday's Fancies is Costume Prep. However, I will not be dressing up this year. If I did dress up, I have no idea what I would be. Instead, I was inspired by the colors Orange and Black.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the color Orange is Hermes. Orange is their color. LOL. The first thing I picked out for my outfit was an Orange Hermes Bag!! I created my outfit around the bag!!! Love that bag!!

I rarely wear the color orange because I don't want to look like a pumpkin. However, I will wear orange accessories especially anything from Hermes. Love Hermes!!!!


Much thanks to {av} for letting me link up for Friday's Fancies
