Tastes of Autumn

I'm definitely one who loves the sights, tastes and sounds of autumn. The foliage changing colours, the tastes of cinnamon, spiced apple, and nutmeg, and the crisp sound of leaves crunching beneath your boots; I love it all! In light of fall's arrival last week I am rounding up some of favourite fall themed recipes on P&P that you should definitely bookmark and try out this weekend.

Treat yourself to a moist, dense, and delicious white chocolate pumpkin cookie and a homemade pumpkin pie latte on the side. Better yet, whip up a whole pumpkin inspired brunch at home complete with pumpkin pancakes, banana-almond butter bites, maple glazed turkey bacon, and those fantastic cookies and lattes you just made! Heading to the orchard sometime soon? You're bound to have countless leftover apples. I give you two options: the healthy alternative, scrumptious apple chips lightly doused in cinnamon (which I am now addicted too), or the classic caramel apple. The choice is yours!

Enjoy!

Big Apple Red

Since I was only in NYC for a few days and I prefer to travel with carry on luggage only, (thanks Joëlle for the toiletry packing tips), packing was kept to a minimal. For my one vibrant piece I chose this red skirt. Easily transitioned from day to night with a new pair of heels, but for day-time adventures I kept it simple with a versatile white tank, and minimal accessories. We kicked off the morning with breakfast at Bluestone Lane Collective Cafe, and then headed to Chelsea Market, not before grabbing another cup of coffee in the heart of the Meatpacking District. I love the Meatpacking District for the High Line and shopping, but had never ventured into Chelsea Market. I already can't wait to get back here! The food scene is insane, and the shops are a plenty!

Simple in SoHo

New York City was perfect. The weather was incredible, the food was delicious and the company was oh so lovely. I just love the energy of that city; it's so rejuvenating and inspiring! After jumping off our plane and checking into our hotel (where I ran into Aimee Song!), we spent the rest of the day wandering through the streets of SoHo, checking out our favourite spots and discovering some new ones. Since the weather was stifling I opted for my go-to cross-season pairing-- shorts and booties. It's a perfect way to start breaking into your autumn wardrobe all while ensuring you won't be sweating your jeans off.  I'm also obsessed with army green as of late; the colour has literally besieged my wardrobe! To complement the fall colours I whipped out an old Longchamp tote to carry all the necessities around town with me. They are just classic and so functional! I do love travelling with cross-bodies but these cameras are just too bulky! And you all know this girl loves snapping photos! 

What do you think of the booties and shorts look? And, yes,  this topic has been brought up before, but what are tips for travelling with large cameras?

More from NYC soon!
