Just because the leaves 🍁🍂haven’t changed Just because the leaves 🍁🍂haven’t changed yet doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit New England right now

Last minute end of Summer/beginning of Fall weekend trips are my favorite because the weather is perfect, popular summer destinations are usually quiet, the water is warm & I swear there’s just something magical in the air!

I just got back from Cape Ann, Massachusetts on the North Shore of Boston and when I tell you you need to go…YOU NEED TO GO 😍

Check back tomorrow I’ll be sharing a round of my favorite early Fall weekend trip ideas from NYC/Westchester!

The Fatherland 🇮🇹 Wanting to visit Cefalu w The Fatherland 🇮🇹

Wanting to visit Cefalu was what prompted my trip to Sicily & while I may be biased because some of my family is from here, but this Sicilian hidden gem is not to be missed!

This charming historical city is a fishing port at heart, but is truly one of the most picturesque locations in all of Sicily. Its beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, hilltop castle, fortress like cathedral and amazing food are just some of the reasons that it’s so loved.

& I think after swiping through these photos you’ll agree that you need to add it to your Sicily itinerary 💚

But seriously if you book any tour while visiting Sicily have it be a private tour of 3 of the best Etna wineries with @prestellisicilytours 🍷

We drank, we ate, we laughed, we learned SO much and we had the absolutely best time & I can’t recommend it enough! 

I love to visit wineries when I travel and I truly have no idea how anywhere is ever going to top this one!

Mine was 100% Gloucester, Massachusetts 😍 I honestly didn’t think I was going to love it as much as I did, but I can not recommend it enough!

It’s a laid back fishing town only a few hours away from Westchester with the most amazing fresh seafood and the bluest water 💙

August 2019 Round Up

Shein Ditsy Floral Print Dress | Casual Weekend Wear | Labor Day Weekend Outfit | Upstate Life | August 2019 Round Up

I can’t believe August is OVER, at least we still have another few weeks of Summer to soften the blow (because even though I’m the ultimate Fall girl, I’ll be participating in Summer activities as long as possible).

But onto the good stuff…I actually gave myself a little bit of a blog goal this month because I’ve been really struggling to get content out. I made a promise that I was going to publish 15 posts during the month of August…as you can probably tell that definitely didn’t happen (this is only my 6th post of the month), BUT August 2019 was actually my highest trafficked month EVER (in 9 years). So while I technically failed at my original plan, it was a big win in my book. I never thought I’d actually type this, but I’m pretty proud of myself for this. And let’s see if I can make September even bigger than August!

August 2019 Travel

The only place I went this month was to Long Island to the beach for 2 days and to New Jersey for a wedding, but I got up a TON of travel content that I hadn’t had a chance to earlier this summer so if you haven’t read my New Orleans Guide, Bahamar Guide and Coney Island Guide.

I’m still in full on Summer mode as you’ll see from scrolling through the rest of this post, BUT I did round up my favorite Fall items from H&M so definitely check that out if you plan on doing a little shopping over the long weekend!

I posted my first IG TV video this month and while I almost didn’t hit publish because I’m such a perfectionist, I’m SO glad I did because it seems like you guys loved it. Definitely look out for more in the very near future and if you haven’t seen the first one yet I embedded it right here for you to watch!

Most Popular Items of August 2019

It’s no surprise to me that this dress was the most popular item of the month that I shared. When I wore it for the first time I was doing one of my morning chats on Instagram stories and I don’t think I’ve even gotten more DMs about something I was wearing. You guys clearly loved it, and I think you loved it even more once you found out it was only $19! And if you use code: JACKIEG15Q3 you can get 15% off!
