Landed in Pennsylvania! I took a red eye flight and by the time I landed, picked up my rental car, picked up my daughter, ate lunch, and checked into the hotel, I was beat! So, we decided to do something low key before getting ready for dinner.

Bellefonte always decorates for Christmas, and since the city is historical, it is always beautiful and nostalgic. We took a leisurely walk through the park and enjoyed the beautiful decorations, the adorable ducks, and the scenery. It’s so pretty!

After we enjoyed the park, we walked through the historic downtown and enjoyed taking in more historic sites than the last time we visited Bellefonte. It’s such a beautiful city!

I am thankful I wore my new sneakers because they were incredibly comfortable. I was able to insert my orthotics inside, so my planter fasciitis was pain-free. Love that!

What I wore for exploring Bellefonte:

Stay tuned for more destinations from our Thanksgiving week trip to Pennsylvania!

Thanks for stopping by!

What’s in my winter travel suitcase

It’s that time of year when we are traveling for the holidays and need to pack thick, winter gear! This often means packing less in order to bring a carry-on bag or moving into a larger suitcase we can check. Either way, it is important to remember to pack for the weather we are traveling to; especially us California girls who aren’t used to dressing for the snow!

I am off to Pennsylvania, so my puffy winter coat is part of my airplane outfit. In my suitcase, will be sweaters, long sleeve tee’s, extra socks, scarves, gloves, an umbrella, and shoes with treads; except for my black boots which I hope to wear on non-snow days.

Since a suitcase is a small capsule wardrobe for a week, I am keeping the color theme in berry hues with a little blue and black. I try to pack as little as possible with pieces I can mix and match. Of course, jeans and black pants can easily mix and match with everything. This makes for an easy travel wardrobe I can fit into my suitcase with room to spare; you never know when I might pick up some chocolate to bring home for the holidays!

What’s in my winter travel suitcase:

Stay tuned for my adventures from Pennsylvania!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving! If you didn’t finish getting through your holiday gift list, this is the weekend to knock it out! I am loving this holiday sweater, and beauty gift sets for gifts!

There are a lot of great deals out there, but don’t buy something because it is on sale, only buy it if you would have paid full price anyway. It is easy to get carried away with sales! Make a list and stick to it! Happy shopping!

XOXO
