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 💙

…and there’s a castle there 🏰

A Geometric Valentine’s Day Manicure

How to do a Tape Striped Manicure | Valentine's Day Nails | #LivingAfterMidnite
A geometric red & pink manicure just in time for Valentine’s Day Festivities! But I’m doing things a little differently with this nail art post! While I usually explain how to achieve the look with instructions they aren’t always easy to understand, so I’m sharing step-by-step photos that you can follow to recreate this look for yourself!

How to do a Tape Striped Manicure | Valentine's Day Nails | #LivingAfterMidnite

1. Start by painting your nails one color and let them completely dry.

2. With striping tape (or regular tape) create a design on your nail. Remember the part under the tape will be the part that stays the first color.

3. Paint your entire nail with 2 coats of another color. Let the first coat dry for a few seconds before applying the second coat.

4. Let dry for about 30 seconds and slow peel off the nail, one strip at a time. You can follow up with a little bit of metallic polish like I did after your nails are dry.

Voila! You’re now the proud wearer of some super chic Valentine’s Day nail art! Who said V-Day is all about hearts & kisses? This mani is seriously awesome, perfect for the single girl that loves to get festive but is over all the run of the mill gushy ideas!
