My Weekend in Photographs

{One of my favorite signs from the Occupy Wall Street protest}

Last week was stressful and exhausting so I was looking forward to my 3 day weekend even more than usual. I packed it full of "festively fancy" dinner parties (that was on the invitation!), quality time with my baby brother, baking cakes, a jaunt down to Wall Street to check out the protests (full post on that tomorrow), Sunday family dinner and football, and some serious wedding planning.

As you can tell by many of my posts this fall (like this and this), I can't get enough of mixing plaids up in new ways! I went to a sale at my friend's vintage studio in Brooklyn last week, and wanted to display some of my new finds like the sparkly brooch and comfy white vest pictured here.
