on the blue ridge mountains

Last week I travelled with my friends down to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have wanted to go for a long time now and it finally happened. We went when the peak of the foliage was ending so the colors of autumn surrounded us. You can actually go to the Shenandoah website and check their weekly fall color report to know what to expect and plan your trip accordingly.

You never know how amazing a mountain is until you can admire it on the top.There are over 500 hiking trails and multiple waterfalls in the park. The Shenandoah is truly grand. We drove through 50 miles of mountains on Skyline Drive with Fleet Foxes in the background. We picnicked in the woods. We hiked down a waterfall where we climbed a rock and admired it from there. I can't wait to go back.

Exploring Harper's Ferry

One of the good things of living in the DC area is that there is so much to explore. It's incredible that just 10 minutes away from my house I feel that I'm really far away. In other words, it's easy to escape sometimes. I went for a short day trip to Harper's Ferry in Virginia. Sadly, the park was closed (thanks to government shutdown...) but the little quaint town has a lot of history and views to offer by itself. 

Although I'm amazed that I can wear shorts in the middle of October, I can't wait to take out my box filled with oversized sweaters and chunky cardigans. I decided to wear a simple outfit.

Go out there and explore your surroundings, you never know what you might discover. 

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Downtown Grey

Hello! This weekend I went to downtown DC to have lunch with my family. So here is a quick post of what I wore. It's finally starting to get chilly so I decided to just put a simple sweater over a lace dress and pair it up with black platform shoes.

I wasn't really planning to take pictures but I couldn't resist the picturesque brick walls.

Close Up: I love these shoes. They can easily add a more edgy look to any outfit. I feel like a fashionable badass when I wear them.

 That is all. Have a great weekend everyone!

Welcoming Autumn

I think that Fall reminds us on how beautiful nature is...

This time of year makes me happy because I love the crunch of leaves under my leaves, sweater weather, and I can fall back again in my pumpkin obsession (bad pun I know)

The other day I went to the local apple orchard with my best friend Erielle. 

HOW GOOD DO THESE APPLES LOOK?

I'm loving this chunky orange cardigan from Free People. It says Fall like nothing else and it's also quite cozy.

I'm so excited to what this season has to bring. This weather is welcomed to stay here forever. Hope everyone has a lovely Fall!
