Grounded, for Now

10/12/17 | Travel

Hello from a very cold and rainy Seattle! Something went wonky with the time change on the scheduled post this morning so you are getting this a bit later than expected but better late than never! I have not written a day-of blog post in years but as I’m delayed on my seventh trip of the last three weeks it seemed like a good use of time. But don’t worry, the photos that were supposed to be up this morning from my Charleston trip are coming soon! 

Pikes Place Market

Starting September 21st I have been in New York City, New Hampshire, New York City, Seattle, New York City, Southern New Jersey, New York City, Charleston, New York City, Seattle, and by tonight back in New York City. Even for a girl who likes travel, that is a bit too much. The good news is that for the next short stretch of time I’m grounded and so excited to get reacquainted with my own bed. Both trips to Seattle were for work and I got some good shots, most of which I shared on Insta but I wanted to show them here as well:

    Wow that is a lot of miles you traveled between work, weddings, family etc. Girl you need a break from airports for a while. Love the floral dress with ankle booties pose. You should have saved that one for the space needle. (:) Possible Fashion Friday post. Safe travels home.

    Sounds like a lot of fun, but that’s definitely a lot of traveling! Glad you’ll be getting to stay home for a little while 🙂
