I'm here. In New England. Just for a short while but here none the less! It's been a measly month and a half since moving but it felt like this trip was long over due! And with that, I've been thinking about what to pack since I booked my flight (a month ago) and here's a little peek into what did, and didn't make the cut!
Pictured clockwise: My practically cheesecloth 30s floral dress, my new 30s dahlia print dress (this dress is in my top 5 favorites list... it's that good!) my pride and joy 30s tweed coat, a 30s felt hat, my boyfriends plaid cashmere scarf, 40s black heels and 80s two-tone oxfords, yee olde trusty black gladstone, a scrap yarn ball knitting project I'm doing in a k2p2 with circular needles (don't judge - I can't find anything but long circular needles in the midst of my mess!) my tweed Lyell shorts that are too dang big on me, andddddd - another pride and joy- my beautiful B sweater.
It's my new crush and it also happens to be a similarly displaced New Englander - purchased in San Francisco, hailing from Boston... This thing is all I need to keep me warm this weekend when I brave the windy seasides for a wedding!
AH, that sweater is so beautiful it makes me misty eyed! And it reminds me exactly of fall, and how good it can be here. Grey days with white clouds and that crisp bite to the air in combination with a distant smoky fireplace mixed with roasting nuts and sweaters and scarves and hands shoved into pockets ... Wool. Corduroy. Exactly how it should be!
And today was close, (sans corduroy) but it was so nice to wake up to the Boston skyline and spend the entire day with two of my favorite people, doing all of my favorite things and then getting to see the first snow fall of the year.
And it's on that note I'll end this. Good night North Country East Coast land ... there are no words that can properly express just how much I love you.

Aw you sound so happy to be back. I think you chose well in packing and that B sweater is cute. I hope you continue to have fun. :}
Your description of New England falls just made me swoon! I love that Gladstone and the black shoes and the floral dress on the right and... pretty much everything else, too!
I love your dresses and the tweed jacket! Would love to see more pictures of your new house, love all the pictures I saw so far!
Have fun on your trip!!!! bring back souvenirs to show us.
Everything is amazing! Those dresses are everything I'm about right now! There is nothing like the east coast! New England either, I'm starting to miss Maine.
That B sweater is amazing, very old collegiate.
Really nice stuff, I love the 30's floral!

Wow, your everything is amazing. That sweater! The tweed coat! Even your green radiator. AWESOME. Love the dresses and shoes too. Oh, and I really, REALLY need to visit Boston!
Ooh such a nice grey blazer. I'm in love!
Ugh I want that sweater! It would be perfect for me since I got married in Boston and I'm now a Mrs. B!
I love the tweed jacket. And the B sweater is lovely, like on Harry Potter. (ahem)

Just getting started so would appreciate some feedback
letter sweater! how wonderful!
Ahhh, the east coast should just about be breathtaking by now with the changing foliage! I'm ready to go back :)
That tweed coat is amazing - No wonder it's your pride and joy! I'm a bit jealous :)
Heh, I feel just exactly how you feel, and with as much passion--about the West Coast! Though there certainly is something to be said about an East Coast fall, even from a non-native perspective. I think it's probably the season that suits it the best.
Those dresses are so beautiful!
Good golly that B sweater is just about the greatest thing I've ever seen (not counting everything else in the photos!! Those dresses!!! oh my!)
ps: I love what you said about fall--it's so perfect and true! Fall is the greatest!
xx
those dresses are so so pretty, and I can see why the tweed jacket is a favourite - it's perfection!
oh, that all sound so wonderful. (: and i love the clothes you packed - so vintage lady travelling!
Lovely. I love you took the time to create this gorgeous photo too! So lovely!
wow! i love finding old vintage sweaters, especially ones with letters! :)
I'm sooo jealous of the B jumper! It is exactly what I want in a jumper!
