Basic Friendcation and Cold Weather Favorites

Hey Babes. So as much as I love Boston, sometimes you just need a vacation away from the noise and closer to the mountains and the wine, ya know? As a wise woman once said- I don't know what I did to you, but I'll take a Pinot Grigio. 

So myself and some friends made our way to Lincoln, New Hampshire to see some real foliage. Lincoln has become the go to getaway for my friends. One of them has a lovely family condo right next to Loon Mountain. We have spent many weekends here including Friends-giving, beautiful ski trips, and the Fourth of July. Lincoln holds a substantial amount of sentimental value for all of us. Going up to Loon gives us the same feeling that Basic Babes get when they hear the opening music to the Notebook. Super excited for whats about to happen even though you know will be so sad when it ends. THEIR LOVE TOOK THEM AWAY TOGETHER! #relationshipgoals

So we spent Saturday hiking through nature, taking pictures, and brainstorming captions for Instagram. A few of us went to The Flume at Franconia Notch Park and the others went to hike Mount Pemigewasset. It was not intended for the group split up but we ended up in different places so we went with the flow and everyone had a great day. We had better flow than Zach Morris on a GOOD hair day.

New Hampshire was as chilly as it was beautiful. It was a reminder that we are once again transitioning into colder weather which means it is time for scarves, earmuffs, puffy coats, and an infinite amount of candles to keep us Basic Babes warm. Why is it always so cold everywhere.... always?

So in honor of the colder weather approaching (except for the 70 degree day we are supposed to have this week, thanks climate change) here are a few of my must haves as November approaches:

• My Anthropologie candles and coffee table books. - I know they are a bit pricey but they smell amazing and they make me so happy. One of my favorite ways to end my night is to light one of these candles and read from this book of poetry. These are a couple of candles I bought last year and I am so excited to go back for this years winter purchase.

• My infinity Scar from TJ Maxx. - This is my favorite scarf ever and, yes, it is from TJ Maxx. I just spent all my money on candles, what do you expect? It is black and white so it goes with everything I own (which is also mainly black and white) and it has a little pom pom tassel on the end which is super cute.
• My Surrell Tech Earmuffs. I LOVE THESE EARMUFFS. They are SO warm and I can listen to my music while I wait for the train or walk down Newbury Street. They also have a built in mic so I can make phone calls (mostly to my mother) easily when I wear them.
• My Impo Stretch Leopard Print Wedge Boots. I know, animal print can be a bit overwhelming at times but it can be done right. I love these boots because they are warm and so comfortable even though they have a decent wedge. LEGS FOR DAYS BABES. A simple outfit paired with these boots and I am walking with the confidence of a thousand Kaynes. 

That's it from me Babes. Enjoy the nice weather this week, it is going to be winter before we know it!
