WHICH SWEATER IS YOUR FAVORITE?

Sweater weather is officially here and I'm pretty excited about it. I haven't done much fall shopping yet but here's my ultimate wishlist for fall sweaters. Bring on the comfy, cozy goodness:


(3) Joie  (4) Equipment

My top three are this casual option, this cozy pullover, and this embellished number. Help me decide! Which sweater is your favorite? 

P.S. A few more I love under $100: a cable knit cardigan that would be adorable with a belt, a cute colorblock crewneck, an easy basic you can monogram, a pretty peplum in winter white, and a thermal cardigan that's perfect for errands and the gym.

NEW YORK CITY GUIDE: JACK'S WIFE FREDA

Practically everyone I've met in New York has a list of restaurants they're anxious to try. I started mine after reading your comments on this post and have been adding to it based on friends' recommendations and pretty Instagram photos ever since. As a challenge to myself to a) try new places in new neighborhoods and b) branch out into more lifestyle content without posting recipes I can't cook, I decided to start sharing some of my newfound favorites here on the blog with the help of my friend Amy's fabulous photography!



What: Sunday brunch at Jack's Wife Freda

Where: 224 Lafayette Street, SoHo

Why: Adorable branding, avocado toast, cute waiters, outdoor seating, waffles made with rosewater... Yum

Have any of you been to Jack's Wife Freda? What are some of your favorite brunch spots in the city? You know I'm taking notes!

5 TRAVEL BAGS I LOVE



As I gear up for my month of travel, I need a travel bag that's big enough to accommodate my overpacking tendencies, small enough to tuck in an overhead compartment, and stylish enough that I'm not embarrassed to lug it around the airport. You might remember my monogrammed luggage from this post but I figured I'd do a little round-up for anyone else who might be traveling this month (or the holidays — how is it fall already?!). Seriously lusting after the Tory Burch but the $70 option is too good to resist!
