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 💚

Private Etna Winery Tour > Any other tour in Sicil Private Etna Winery Tour > Any other tour in Sicily

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!

Where was your favorite place you visited this Sum Where was your favorite place you visited this Summer?

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 🏰

Before & After: My Home Office Nook Upgrade

My Home Office Nook | Work from Home Space | Small Home Office | Cost Plus World Market Campaign Desk | Home Office Ideas | Home Office Ideas for Women | Workspace Inspiration | How to Create a Home Office in a Living Room | Apartment Home Office Space

So it’s funny, when I moved into my apartment I actually got RID of the desk I had because I thought I wanted a sleek glass desk that disappeared in my space. Fast forward a year and that desk did anything but disappear, I feel like since it didn’t really meld with the rest of my decor it stuck out more.

Luckily the silver and glass desk that I was using when I moved in I wasn’t something I bought (my mom was getting rid of it so I took it from her), so I didn’t feel bad about getting rid of it, but I was still frustrated that what I thought I wanted didn’t work out. This is a reminder to everyone that sometimes decorating ideas don’t work out and that’s ok.

Before getting rid of the old desk I did a mock-up of what I wanted the entire space to look like (in case you missed it, I’m also redoing my living room…more on that later) and while initially I didn’t want “so much wood” in the space, it was exactly what I wanted in the end.

I was eyeing this desk for a few months, but once Quarantine hit EVERYONE was buying desks since they were working from home, like myself, so it kept going in and out of stock. But I FINALLY got it (ON SALE) and I’m SO happy with the purchase! It fits the vibe I was going for and I can’t wait to see it once the rest of my new furniture comes!

And PS it’s currently ONSALE along with my desk chair, so if you’re on the market for a new home office desk, office chair or dining room chairs I highly highly recommend checking these out!

In case you needed a reminder of what the space looked like before:
