Five Things

February 10th, 2012

{View at sunset from my hotel room}

This week kicked off with one of my favorite traditions – high tea with girlfriends on Superbowl Sunday.  Since then, things have been moving nonstop ever since I arrived in New York on Tuesday afternoon. This weekend is supposed to be cold (even by east coast standards), but luckily my fiancé’s flying in for a few days, so I look forward to ducking into quaint restaurants together and attempting to document a true winter wardrobe.

    I WISH I had the confidence to buy a crisp white coat.

    But I would spill wine on it, guaranteed!
