Loving Lola!

20131026-102333.jpg

It’s no surprise that I love accessories as seen here, here, and here. There are also few things I love more than scoring a deal to add to my collection. Luckily for me, my old roommate and fellow fashion obsessed friend, Megan, opened an accessory store to fulfill both of these needs. While we were living together in the city, Megan was working for a department store in their corporate office but always had her sights set on opening her own store. Her tireless efforts paid off and Lola Accessory Boutique was born. The store is a reflection of Megan’s experience in the field and her astute eye for high quality, on trend pieces offered at affordable prices. Visit http://www.lolatoga.com to check out Megan’s selection and also stop by their Facebook page for the most recent additions.

Falling into a New Season

20130915-221612.jpg

Fall weather is finally back in the city and I couldn’t be more excited for the arrival of my favorite season. This weekend I had my first hot coffee in months, happily added a second layer to outfits and didn’t wear any sandals. It’s not that I don’t love summer; it’s actually pretty incredible considering I get over 10 weeks off! However, the city gets to be unbearably hot and humid especially for those who have ruined more white tees than they can count. The cool breeze and even slight nip in the air were greatly welcomed this weekend. Bring on the riding boots, booties, layers and lattes, I’m ready!

Puppy Walking

20130730-152410.jpg

Being a teacher, I have a great deal of time in the summer to spend with Hudson. We take lots of walks, sometimes more than ten a day. I decided to attach keys and a wallet with treats and a credit card to his leash because I am able to run errands on some of our walks. I have several unworn maxi dresses in my closet because Hudson isn’t really a fan or in reality too much of a fan. He thinks it’s fun to try bite the dresses as we walk so I typically end up in jean cut offs or other shorts and flip flops.

During walks I spend lots of time waiting for Hudson as he…
