In My Life : Home Time

from the top…

Oy, another 8 hour drive to Buffalo. I tried to keep myself busy by editing photos and and queuing up posts on the go. Until I shorted the fuse in our pluggy-thing. Awesome. But it got better when the very first thing I did when we got into Western New York was get some Tim Horton’s coffee. Nothing says home like some Timmy Ho’s. 

Most of my week at home was just spent relaxing. I spent a lot of time in my pajamas and lounging around with Kiki. Even Thanksgiving was low-key. Dinner at my dads and then tv time with the brother. 

And the best way to finish off a week at home - A Sabres game, of course!

Theres A Place I know In Ontario....

"…. where the sea lions kiss, so the story goes. Its amazing shows and friendship cove. Everyone looooooves Marineland!" I wish we would’ve had time to go to Marineland. I always have that song stuck in my head!

Well we didn’t get to go kiss any belugas, but we spend the day near the Falls and Clifton Hill area. This isn’t an outfit I would normally blog, but we were in front of Niagara Falls so of course I had to take a few photos. I’m usually pretty good at packing. But not so much this time. Instead of packing in outfits like I usually do, it seems I packed just random items. And I didn’t even pack any jeans. These are actually my “back up” jeans that I keep there. So yeah, I was pretty bored with my options. 

But that is neither her nor there, because the day was definitely not boring. We played mini golf, laser tag, had ice cream, and played some arcade games. It was a gorgeous day. I love Niagara Falls!

Down At The Pond

worn on August 10th, 2011

On wednesday of our week at home, Boo and I went to my Dad’s for lunch. If you saw my engagement photos post a few weeks ago, you may recognize the place. My dad has a couple ponds, a cabin, and a lot of woodsy areas, and I love to go down there and take pictures when we visit. He is also busy building his own sugar shanty, and plans on having it finished this fall. New photo spot, maybe?

Rain, Laziness, and Sequence

worn on August 9th, 2011

The entire first half of our trip home was pretty rainy and blah. But on tuesday, after lunch with my stepdad, we managed to sneak in a few outfit photos in between the rain. And thats about all we did - lunch, photos, and then we sat on the couch the rest of the evening. There was some pretty intense games of Sequence going on, though. Exciting.

In My Life.... At Home Again

As usual, I have some instagram photos from our trip home to share with you. And I have quite a few this time……

The day we left, I packed while listening to some She&Him. And then we enjoyed a lovely 8 hour evening drive back to Buffalo. 

This is how we party in the country :) 

Just some randoms:

Me and my Kiki

a random photo of the Peace Bridge while driving through Buffalo

my favorite John & Mary’s sub for dinner

and a baby eating a cupcake. 

We spent a day at Niagara Falls with my oldest friend Amanda and her boyfriend, Daniel. There was some mini golf and laser tag involved. Just sayin. And then we spent 1 1/2 hours in the immigration office at the border for a missing stamp on a certain Dutch man’s papers :)

(p.s - Snape waz here)

Haha, I guess we have a difference in opinion. 

Just a peek

Hi everyone! I’m back in Boston now and getting settled back into routine. I’ll be returning with outfit posts tomorrow, but (as usual) I thought I would share a few photos from the trip home.

Photos from home.... again

So I was home again this past weekend for the second time this month. We booked our venue, had our engagement party (and I didn’t take any pictures. whoops), went to the casino for my birthday, and painted my face for the sabres game. For some reason, I’m horrible at taking outfit photos when I’m home. Even though I have all my stuff to do it. Sorry about that. I do have one more, but I haven’t gotten around to editing them yet. But, as last time, heres a few other photos from the weekend:

traveling in style / card games with the family

brother is hilarious during Sabres games / tacos for my birthday dinner!

bunny birthday cake! / scenery at home

heading into Canada for a little birthday gambling / Sass-a-frass checking out my outfit photo session

Sorry I don’t have a cute easter sunday outfit to show you. This is actually what I looked like on sunday. In our neck of the woods, a hockey playoff game trumps most everything.

My Trip Home

I’ve been a bad little blogger. I had every intention to keep up with blogging while I was home. I took home everything I need to take my photos and post. But day after day went by and at the end of the trip - I had no outfit photos. My bad. We will back to regular scheduled programming tomorrow. But I did take a few random photos with my nifty new ipad that I thought I would share!

1. Little Nevy - my flower girl. We went to the mall with her and she insisted on riding every one of these rides. And then when she was done with them - she wanted to ride the escalator. Over and over and over. Kids. 

2. My kiki! She ignored me for the most part. As usual. 

3. My favorite place on earth. HSBC arena for the Sabres game. And yay! We won!

4. Seesters!

5. It rained. It snowed. Thats right- snowed. Hey Buffalo - its April. Just thought you should know.

6. Tim Horton’s Iced Capp. So yum. 

Day 1 - Keeping It Simple

     

November 9th, 2010

top: Splendid (from Anthropologie), jeans: Gap, headband: Hollydoll, boots: Miu Miu, necklace: custom made by Metal Pressions and Ekate

Worn For:  Monday - few errands, cleaning around the house, a little sewing. Not that exciting of a day - so I stuck with a simple tee and jeans combo to start out my 30 for 30 remix. I realized today that all the pants I chose for the challenge are from Gap. Hmmm, well I guess I know what I like. Also, the headband was made by me - check it out in my etsy shop. But, my favorite part is………

My necklace. I’ve posted this necklace before, but I love it so much. Its a mix of charms that signify home for me. Showing: map of my town, Buffalo’s area code, Sabres dog tag, Miller olympic ring, and ‘Believe’ in braille (gift from my bf). There are other charms too, but they aren’t showing. I just love it. Its personal and unique to me. 

I'm a Sabres Fan.

   

October 23rd, 2010

sunglasses: U.O, scarf: Antropologie, cords: Gap, flats: Moschino Cheap and Chic

Worn For: Well, this is what I was wearing around the house - as it was a game day. But then my boyfriend and I decided to go out and do a little shopping and I didn’t feel like changing. Threw on some adorable flats and warm scarf, and it was good enough for me. Its very bright and colorful. And I like it. I told you there would be a lot of sabre- centered outfits.
