Trend and Its Influence: Tights

 

Urban Outfitters is a prime resource for general fashion necessities. It particularly specializes in  one of my personal favorite fashion basics; tights. The UO tight selection is diverse and fun, offering an extensive selection of both colored and patterned tights. As displayed above in some distinctive looks from lookbook, tights can diversify any outfit, casual or formal, on a bitter fall day. I also find them particularly comfortable to wear! Below are some of my favorite types of tights from UO that can all be found here. Enjoy!

Autumn in Vermont

This weekend was filled with many autumnal activities. I taste-tested organic produce and delectable treats at a local farmers market, shopped for warm attire on Church Street and took a trip to the Shelburne Museum where I quickly fell in love with Vermont foliage in addition to the museum's many diverse galleries and sites. If you happen to take a trip to Burlington in the future, I highly recommend visiting the Shelburne Museum; displays vary from Impressionist paintings to historic Steamboat Ticonderoga. Here are some photos of the museum's grounds!

Happy fall!

   

Sisterly Love

 My phenomenal friend Hannah (we frequently introduce ourselves as "Hannah Squared" with zero shame) and I share many things in common other than our name. One of those things is our tremendous appreciation and empathy for our families, and particularly for our sisters. Hannah, having recently posted a dedication to her sister, inspired me to do the same. I never thought being away from home would lead to an unsettling yearning for my sister, Kait, since we haven't officially lived together for many years now. I unsurprisingly misjudged.

My sister and I became particularly close when she was in the midst of her college years and I was just entering high school (she is six years older.) Our inevitable bond with one another is one I am most grateful for. She constantly inspires me with her intelligent, creative and compassionate interests, talents and overall path in life. I am constantly thinking about my Sis here in Vermont, and spend a solid amount of time considering what activities we both need to partake in when we reunite over Thanksgiving break. Below is the list thus far, consisting of some of our most favored past-times.

Cooking, cooking and lots of cooking. We are foodies at heart and enjoy creating food as much as we enjoy eating it. This gem of a recipe is without-a-doubt on the list of things to cook.

Thrifting. My mom, sister and I have recently established a tradition of taking a ritualistic Sunday trip to a local antique shop back home, all being thrifters and heavily interested in antiques and bobbles of all sorts.

 

Crafting. Though the possibilities are endless, I know my sister and I will inevitably spend time crafting once reunited... perhaps making this necklace, a craft project I've been eyeing.

Going to the movies (or cuddling up beneath a comforter and watching them at home.) Yet another basic pastime. A diminutive theater resides in the next town over back home, offering home-baked items to munch on and a select four or so indie films for viewing. These few flicks are on my current list of must-see's: 50/50, The Debt and Restless.

Love and miss you to the moon and back Katie!
