my weekend in Boston

  Hi guys! As you all probably know by now just because of my overload of pictures (as well as the blogpost named 'packing for Boston' on here)...I went to Boston this weekend with my man, Adam, to visit one of my high school best friend's and to scratch visiting Beacon Hill off my Autumn bucket list. But let me tell you, Boston is seriously way more than that. 

There was something just so beautifully nostalgic about it all, and different from the nostalgia you feel in New York City. It was thin sidewalks with cracked red bricks, tons of vintage bikes with brown and white details, tumbling red-and-yellow leaves against old brownstones. It was literally all my wishful vibes in a nutshell.

 First off, we ended up staying in an Airbnb for our trip! It had 4 floors, a library, wonderfully classic fireplace, an antique tub, and rustic wooden floors. Here is the link just in case you wanted to book a trip and needed a cheaper yet beautiful place to stay (but only if you are familiar with Airbnb/staying with other guests).

Now, let's get into the photos of Boston! This will basically be an overload of the photos I took and will be posting in the next months on Instagram because I can't seem to let go of the beauty. All these photos were taken in either Beacon Hill (where are those brownstones are), the North End, the Commons, or elsewhere that I wouldn't even know of if it wasn't for my best friend. If you want to know where a specific photo was taken, just comment below and I will try my best to tell you exactly where!

A beautiful coffee shop you must visit. It's really busy though so plan accordingly! 

I'm sorry he is just so handsome... 

And that is it! This whole trip just ended up making me feel so inspired and happy. Again, if you want any recommendations/specific places just let me know! Hope you guys enjoyed!

Xoxo,

packing for Boston

Hi guys! So I did say on Instagram that I'm going to Boston this weekend with Adam because I've yearned to see Boston in the fall (cough cough Beacon Hill) and visit my best friend from high school who goes to school there! This is the weekend we're finally going and I could not be more excited. So, whilst I was packing my suitcase, I decided why not photograph it a little and show you guys what I'm bringing along!

My mom got me this vintage suitcase from Goodwill last year! I am so in love with it--and it is perfect for a simple, 2-day trip, since these babies can't really hold much. I'm bringing 2 outfits with me (Saturday, Sunday) and just wearing a simple outfit for the train and car ride there which consists of Re/Done jeans and a flannel. I'm also bringing along my huge teddy-bear looking coat from Free People (which you'll see on my chair in the next couple of photos).

What I have packed: Free People scarf (orange), Ray Bans, Free People Lieutenant Hat, Brandy Melville plaid pants, Zara navy turtleneck. I am bringing along the Aesop bags because I recycle the little bags I get from stores for packing toiletries, makeup, and underwear, which is a really simple thing to do and it is so handy! Plus they look cute!

That Aesop bag will be my makeup bag for this weekend! It's great because of the material it can just fit in anywhere in my suitcase. Seriously one of my #1 tips for packing!

And that's really it! I have pajamas and I am packing my night stuff later (I'm bringing Mario Badescu along with me for this one) and of course I will be bringing my camera to photograph and video our trip! I am so excited! Stay tuned for a blogpost about Boston next week when I get back :")

Xoxo,
