Hello from sunny California! It is strange coming back to the state of my childhood after all these years, knowing that it is now my home once again…

A layer of snow covering the ground, and a roaring fire in the fire pit. Woodsmoke mixed with the sounds of Henry Mancini wafting through the air. 15 degree temps, and hot cheese boiling away in the pot. Pretzels hanging from a stand, and a Toblerone at every place. THIS is how you throw a Fondue party in the winter…

Every part of New Hampshire is beautiful, but the crème de la crème of this gorgeous state is the White Mountain range.

Riding the coat tails of my “How to Enjoy Winter” post, I wanted to share some winter fashion pieces I am loving at the moment! I grew up in southern CA, and didn’t really own any real sweaters; there was no need. Now that I am in the snowier, colder climate of New England, I go overboard every year with my sweater buying.

I can’t believe it’s been 100 years since the start of the roaring 20’s, can you?! In celebration, we rang in the New Year at the one of my favorite places in New England, Nantucket!
