If you’ve been following my blog thus far or know me well – all I love is grey. I don’t know what it is about this neutral but I can’t get enough of it.

It’s also the perfect hue to travel with this Thanksgiving weekend!

When it comes to traveling – it’s all about layering. I used to be an “over-packer” but now since moving to NYC, I’ve gotten much better at it due to my favorite people living in various cities and I can’t lug so much luggage around alone!

It’s all about packing with items I can wear in different ways to maximize my outfits for the weekend.

This look is ideal and perfect for the airport – with the key item; the cocoon cardigan.

I love a good oversized sweater, but it’s important to understand how to wear it so you still keep your shape.

With my favorite go-to American Eagle Outfitters hi-rise jeggings, I tucked in my Aerie turtleneck and added this Forever 21 concho belt to show-off my waist. This allows me to break-up the monotone look and add some 90’s flare.

Now time to talk about this hat – it’s everything. I literally visited Madewell a total of three times before I purchased because I wasn’t quite sure about the hat, but after dreaming about it and saving a selfie I took on Snapchat (#thesearemyconfessions) I knew the hat had to be mine!

_MG_4302 The last piece – my favorite Ray-Bans and Rachel Comey booties and I’m ready to hit the weekend in style.

I can’t think of a better look to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – ready to recreate?

Rooftops are probably one of my favorite things about NYC. There’s something about being sky high among the tall buildings and feeling like you’re on top of the world. You can feel this way at The Skylark — a hidden gem in midtown Manhattan.

When you’re looking for a great spot to hang with your friends after work, The Skylark is the perfect Monday-Friday lounge. Besides the Instagramworthy views, the menu offers some delicious items that are for sure to leave your work worries behind.

I had the pleasure of checking out this NYC hotspot on a Friday evening. For these early Fall nights, I love a great shirt dress. This one is a neutral number from Forever 21. That’s right — this dress was a steal and the perfect day to night silhouette.

I love shades of white and cream that allows your summer tan to pop for a perfect contrast. To add a bit of color, I added these fun turquoise earrings from H&M – another steal for under $13.00!

I added my Scotch & Soda beaded clutch I scored at a sample sale last summer and my go-to All Saints pumps and I was ready to hit the city in style. To make this dress transition into the cooler weather we’ve been feeling lately, I love a great structured blazer on top or your favorite leather bomber jacket to edge it up.

Be sure to check out the Skylark to enjoy amazing views of the city that never sleeps. 🙂
