MSP Beauty: My Makeup Must-haves
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 /7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 I haven't done a makeup related post in a while so I thought I would pull together a round up of the beauty products that I use on a daily basis. I feel like my routine is fairly quick and I usually keep my makeup pretty light and natural looking but lately I've been playing around with creating dramatic brows, sexy smoky eyes and red lips, which has been fun, especially since we are heading into more wintry weather. So, here we go! I usually wash my ... Read the post
Cabin Cozy
Now that the winter months are here, it's time for me to start doubling up on moisturizing. I've talked about it before on the blog, but I have really sensitive and dry skin and have had times where my skin is so itchy it's unbearable. I try all sorts of products, but in the end I usually go back to tried and true brands that I grew up with. I use Vaseline products at home for my lips and hands, but when the brand contacted me to talk about how I stay moisturized this winter, and if I would give their body lotion a try, I ...

Over the (Wedding) Weekend: Julia and Blake Eat Cake!
Hey guys! Sorry for not posting yesterday - I left my camera in my friend's car and on top of that, my iPhoto was on the fritz (thank goodness, it seems like it's back to normal now), so I was worried about not being able to post, but I finally gathered all my photos together from this past weekend and am so excited to share them with you. But first, let's discuss my dress. (Excuse the raindrops all over us- it was drippy and wet all weekend.) I was a bridesmaid in a wedding on Saturday and got to spend the past couple ...

Wilkens Fruit & Fir Farm
A couple weeks ago, Casey and I took a trip up to Warwick (thanks to Ford, who helped us get there by loaning us a sweet ride) where we visited Applewood Orchards for an afternoon. The next day we drove down to meet up with the crew from Hudson Jeans for another fun fall day full of apple picking, cider drinking and picture taking. We also left with two mighty fine looking pumpkins to carve because apparently Casey is a master carver, so we shall see. I can't seem to get enough of the fall foliage this year and so yet ...

The past couple weekends I have been lucky enough to experience New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts in the fall and see beautiful foliage, stay in quaint homes and pick apples from adorable orchards. I look at my photos afterward and am so blown away at the scenery I get to experience and love being able to share it with you guys on the blog. Needless to say, I don't take it for granted! So seeing that it's now mid-October, I've slowly been breaking out my sweaters and boots, but was finally able to rock an actual ... Read the post
Over the Weekend: Marblehead (Warning…Photo overload!)
Happy Tuesday! We spent a long weekend in Massachusetts by the water with our friends Kristen and Ray, at their new home in Marblehead, where we just relaxed and soaked up quiet time in their idyllic town. It was so wonderful to sit outside in the sun, walk through the little town and play Cards Against Humanity and drink wine at night. We were so lucky with the weather as well. It was sunny and crisp all weekend and the fall foliage in full effect. I'll let the photos do the talking now... Ray's quaint little office ... Read the post
Applewood Orchards
Last week, Casey and I went apple picking up at Applewood Orchards and stayed overnight at my favorite B&B, the Inn at Stony Creek. We also met up with a fun crew of friends the following day at a different orchard for more apple and pumpkin picking, but more on that soon. For now, here are some cute photos from our time in Warwick! Outfit credits available at the very bottom. Pumpkin cider with a side of pumpkins! My dapper man, Bow Tie Casey. :) The orchard pup, Cuddles! We picked all the apples! ... Read the post
