happy halloween(ie)

Growing up I loved Halloween because of the amazing parties my parents hosted--we watched spooky movies and trick-o-treated to our hearts desires which measures to about one pillow case full of candy. I remember feeling happy and exhausted. Plus I always had matching costumes with my dear friend Caitlin (usually of the princess variety). As I've gotten older the novelty of Halloween has worn off but this year was surprisingly perfect.  

Saturday morning was my roommate Becca's birthday and we celebrated by having a brunch feast. We made baked brie with cranberry sauce and apples, crepes with nutella and bananas, Spanish tortilla omelette, bacon, coffee, apple cider champagne cocktails and carrot cake.

Aren't my roommates the cutest?

This week my mama is coming to visit and I'm so excited! Happy Halloween everyone!

Hello there from Boston! Even though I've been on hiatus from blogging in the midst of my move from Los Angeles I hope to continue to document the changes some insights while exploring yet another change of locale. I've been spending time with family, working at two museums here in the  city, enjoying my new roommates and lovely new neighborhood (Somerville). My favorite part about fall here is the gorgeous leaves changing colors. I can't help but stop and collect all the yellows, reds and orangey ones during my walks around the city.
