Autumn in the City

Saturday was a beautiful autumn day. The air was crisp, the sun was shining, and the foliage was beautiful. It was also one of those days that reminds me why I love city living, specifically Boston city living.


Outfit: Jeans and Shirt- Old Navy; Jacket- thrifted JCrew; Boots- MeToo via DSW; Scarf- Target; Bag- H&M. 
I met up with my friend Kelly and we walked around the Rose Kennedy Greenway and Fanueil Hall a bit. Then went to the Boston vs New York Food truck throw down.



Unfortunately the lines were super long, so we only got to try two of the food trucks. We stuck to the New York trucks since we can eat at the Boston trucks almost any time. First we had tacos from Big D's Grub Truck. They were delicious and well worth the long wait.



For dessert we had apple, cranberry and nutella empanadas from the Nuchas truck. Yum!


Earlier in the day, while waiting for my friend Kelly outside of the Park Street T station, I had the kind of experience that could only happen in Boston. I was watching an antiwar/ pro- Green Party demonstration, near by there was a guy dressed in revolutionary war era clothing leading a freedom trail tour, a guy with a thick South Boston accent peddling fried dough, and the air smelled like burnt leaves. Then all of a sudden a parade of anti-rape culture demonstrators walked by. I love this city!

  4. What cute pattern mixing! The empanada looks delish. I don't think I actually ate from any of the food trucks when I lived in New York...

  8. Man, Boston sounds like such a awesome city to live, there's so much going on! (I'll admit, I'm really jealous about the food trucks.) This is such a crazy cute casual outfit, I love the combination of the bright, sunny striped shirt with the denim jacket and the tall boots. It looks cute and comfortable for walking around.

    Thank you as well for your really sweet comment this morning. You are just such a awesome lady and I feel really lucky to have met you through the blogging community, I look up to you a ton and your words really meant so much to me. Thank you so much!
