Autumn in New York...

Each time I have visited New York, it has always been in the spring. Don’t get me wrong, the spring is lovely in New York, cherry blossoms and all, but Autumn in the New York…. well that is something special to see.

I just returned from a visit to the stylish city and hung out with some of my favorite ladies and favorite places.....and as usual instagram documented it all.

I left my heart in San Francisco….

As cliche as it sounds, it's always true. It was perfect to be there towards the end of July. While the weather back home in Arizona was in triple digits, I was completely spoiled and soaked up every bit of perfect weather and city life before heading home to the desert. San Francisco is such a vibrant city so full of diverse beauty + art, architecture, culture, style, treasure hunting and yummy food. All of the things I love to experience in one place. We decided to take the family road trip all the way up the California coast, through Big Sur and it was every bit of beautiful as I remembered from a childhood trip. I enjoyed every minute of it, and especially watching Romeo soak it all in and passing down the memories of family road trips and travel destinations to him.

I loved every minute of it, so I just had to share it with you. What are some of your favorite places in the city by the bay?

all images captured with none other than instagram of course....
