saturday market

alumni & family weekend

this past weekend i took a trip up to my college town, ONEONTA, NY. i haven't been there in a year so it was really good to go back & feel nostalgic for college days.

the best part is the 3 hour car ride. i love listening to my music & knitting or drawing... the ride is very scenic as well, especially in the fall. we passed a lot of pretty overlooks & farmland.

the two days in oneonta included a lot of eating at the various establishments in town, hitting a few of the local bars & of course, shopping.

i stayed with my parents & brother in the hotel so it almost felt like a mini vacation!

at the campus bookstore i bought this 'vintage' style shirt & my brother bought a sticker for our car. we have lots of school spirit going on! there was a CRAFT FAIR as well & my mother and i bought a lot of goodies :)

it was a fun weekend & i hope to be back in oneonta soon!

LOVE, gabrielle

first days of autumn

hello! how have you been?

lately, i've been enjoying myself in the new apartment... i sewed curtains for my window, baked cupcakes multiple times & hosted my first little party for some friends! 

it's been busy around here too. summer has finally wound down & freelance work is picking up quickly.

i felt the first days of fall a few weeks ago, towards the end of september. it was chilly & rainy, but i honestly didn't mind throwing on jeans & my new blouse i bought so long ago but has been too hot to wear.

i love the menswear pattern of this blouse, while the silky material & the bib neckline keep it feminine. since buying this shirt at the end of the summer sort of inspired my autumn "look" this year!

i'm really looking forward to thrifting for lots of buttondowns, flannels & cable knit sweaters. i'm also really in the mood for black ankle boots & gold sparkly accessories! (i'm thinking about some DIYs for those, too)

what special pieces are you looking forward to this fall?

LOVE, gabrielle
