Neon + Tartan.

coat // bag // skirt

Friday! I am taking a half day today! I’m going home to Cape Cod tomorrow, and before I leave I’m having lunch with a friend in the city and doing a bit of museum hopping and experiencing the pretty, magical city. Since moving to Brooklyn I don’t get uptown very much but it’s just so wonderful this time of year.

Yesterday was one of those manic days. I finished up the bulk of my Christmas shopping, got to the post office to mail all of my long distance gifts (which will probably all be late – #fail), ran 1,000,000 errands, and made it to the Apple store. My laptop has been on the fritz (and it’s 7 years old which probably isn’t helping) so I bought a new one so that I can work a bit while I’m home, and I got the new iPhone X. Oh my god – I am a creature of habit and having a hard time dealing with the new interface.. anyone else? The lack of a home button is so strange and I’ve been doing a lot of googling (i.e. how to take a screenshot!) but I LOVE the new camera and being able to send those funny animojis. So I mean, obviously it’s worth it since I can now send talking unicorn texts to all my friends, right? Ha.

I hope you guys had a good week and that you’re through the last of the holiday madness. We’re almost there!!! XOXO

    Happy Friday to you! Dang, I’m jealous you got the new iPhone X. My iPhone 6 needs some serious upgrading, haha!

    I love the colour combination of this outfit, especially the coat. Such a nice way to add a little cheer to the cold weather. 🙂

    Hope you have a great weekend! ❤❤

    Love this color combination! I just upgraded to the iPhone 8 Plus and, while it’s not as different as the X, it’s been so great. Loving Portrait mode photos!

    Happy holidays, girl!
