This tree has since dropped every single one of these pretty yellow leaves. I was hoping they’d hang on for longer, but I think the snowstorm wasn’t too kind to the leaves this year.
The changing seasons always remind me of wabi-sabi (the fleetingness of all things). Fall is the only season I’ve never seen in Japan and I’d love to go and stay for the entire season. I imagine it’s even more beautiful than winter and spring. All the red maple trees must look amazing.

I really like your lipstick here. It looks so classy with the rest of your outfit! Despite not being a makeup person, I’d love to try red or otherwise strongly-colored lipstick sometimes, but I worry that it would just look out-of-place on my face.

Alex, that sweater is beautiful girl. Anthropologie does it again! They churn out winners. HAHA These photos are beautiful.

Thanks Kim! I love this sweater. It’s actually from the lounge collection, so it’s really comfortable. I think a lot of Anthropologie’s lounge things are definitely nice enough for daywear.

The trees there are gorgeous! All of the leaves here in Indiana have blown away, so now you New Yorkers are getting a taste of them!
Alex Elizabeth says
Ahh fooled you, unfortunately this is not New York, though it could pass for one of the big parks. More on that tomorrow.

red maples are so pretty! I suppose this sounds odd, but I have a tree wish list. As in, when I someday have a home of my own I have a list of trees that must be present in the yard. Red Maple and Cherry Blossom are at the very top of the list. Especially the cherry blossom, which is the best thing about the spring.
Alex Elizabeth says
It’s totally not weird. Red maple and cherry blossom are two of my favorites, too. I also like holly trees. They’re prickly, but still pretty during winter.
