As Fall is my absolute favorite season, I have been wanting to travel to Vermont during Fall. Since I was very busy with writing papers and studying for exams, the first weekend I was able to go away was Thanksgiving weekend, after the first snow had already fallen in Vermont.

When I arrived in Vermont I was speechless – actually, I jumped around like a little kid in a candy store. I couldn’t decide where to look first and was just so excited to finally be in Vermont. I was absolutely mesmerized by the snowy mountains, the landscape and architecture – Vermont literally looks like Winter Wonderland.

Since I had never been on a winter vacation before, I wasn’t quite sure what exactly to pack. All I was sure of was that I needed a million layers, cozy warm knit sweaters and fuzzy socks. Right before my trip I ordered a pair of Sorel snow boots and I am so happy I did. They kept my feet super warm and dry, so I was able to fully enjoy Vermont (because let’s be honest, we all get a little grumpy when we have wet and cold feet). I brought 2 other pairs of boots, but they never saw daylight. Lesson learned – next time only snow boots 😀

The Vermont trip was the perfect time-out I needed from the busy New Jersey and college life. This was definitely not my last trip to Vermont – a Vermont travel guide will follow in the future 🙂 What is one of your favorite relaxing places to travel to? xx Joelle

Ruffles, suede and booties. Those are definitely some of my favorite to-go pieces for Fall. When H&M released their Fall collection about 2 weeks ago I went a little over board, because all their pieces are so beautiful! Fall is just my absolute favorite season. And since I’m very busy with college and work, I ordered everything online (my dear post man & neighbors please accept my apology for all the packages 😀 ) While I was walking through Manhattan I got so many compliments on this blouse, and I actually ordered this blouse in all three available colors. Hey, when you really love something get it in all different colors! This faux suede powder pink skirt is also one of my absolute favorite pieces from the new H&M collection, very trendy, feminine and so so soft.

These pictures were taken with my dear friend from Germany who was visiting with her boyfriend. I haven’t seen her in 7 years (man time flies!) and it was great to spend the day at Bryant Park and walking around the city with her. And thank you Paula for these beautiful pictures 🙂

And as always, thank you so much for reading and I would love to hear your thoughts. xx Joëlle
