I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! I am still stuffed but had a great day.  Today we're getting our Christmas Tree!

I wore this yesterday to my internship, which I will have some exciting news about soon (don't want to say anything just yet).  It was also my birthday so I wore my Alexander Wang Freja booties because they were my gift last year! I'm so glad it's finally bootie weather, you'll be seeing these a lot again this year!  I also decided to show you guys my huge work bag, I needed to find something that would fit my 17 inch laptop, no easy feat! I found this bag, and one other at Marshalls in my search for an affordable option.  I would have liked the 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli, Alexander Wang Emilie, Alexander Wang Dimanche or Proenza Schouler PS11 but that's not in the budget right now.

(I took these photos on Monday. And I wore maroon tights and threw on my Theyskens' Theory leather jacket yesterday because it was a little too chilly in the morning to go bare legged)

This past Sunday my roommate and I went apple picking at Lyman Orchards!  After we went I made a delicious apple crisp with some of the apples we picked.  But back to the orchard, the weather was amazing! It was actually a bit hot at times but, when the wind was blowing, the temperature was perfect.  I took the opportunity to wear a bunch of new pieces: my new LAMade top that came in the mail last week and a skirt and necklace I bought on Saturday!

Watch out folks, I'm breaking out the sweaters!! I have a slight addition to knitwear, it's so comfortable and cardigans are the perfect thing to throw on an outfit if it gets chilly.  Yesterday I took the opportunity to layer with my new top from LAmade, it's such a fun print and I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it.

P.S. Today is my first day interning at an online fashion website in the city: New York City, that is! No details yet, not sure if I can share, but I'm very excited/nervous and hope it goes well!

P.P.S. Today is my older sister's 26th birthday! Happy Birthday, Alaina! :)
