Yesterday, Jess and I had the best little morning. We met up at the Nespresso flagship boutique and cafe on the Upper East Side. The cafe is dangerously close to my apartment and way more than a typical coffee shop. I had already been there to pick up more capsules for my VertuoLine machine (which I am obsessed with), but hadn’t been to the cafe section. We had a perfect breakfast of toast and jam for Jess and a fruit parfait for me with lattes on the side. I think this might just be my new favorite meeting spot.
The back of the store is where you can taste the different coffees and espressos and watch the machines in action. Or pick up more capsules. (One note: when I first went I ended up with four sleeves… aka 40 capsules. When I went to checkout, I was fully convinced that I would be spending a fortune on the coffee… but the 40 cups ended up being under $40. Less than a dollar per capsule! Woo woo!)
After breakfast, we hopped in a car and went to Sur La Table for lots of holiday shopping. We got to pick out a bunch of festive finds. For me, the holidays and baking go hand in hand. I picked up a bunch of new baking supplies to make all kinds of family favorite goodies like mixing bowls, baking sheets, and lots of mixes for pancakes/waffles/doughnuts.
You should do a post about how you manage to organize your kitchen cupboards. Since you have mentioned how tiny your kitchen is. It would be interesting to see how you manage all the cooking and baking essentials with little space.
I love Nespresso coffee – I'd love to check out the café next time I'm in New York! That breakfast looks amazing, and I love all of the yummy seasonal things you picked up at Sur le Table! I'm already in the holiday cooking mood, and this post just made me more so!
Goshhhh that place absolutely heaven!! I couldn't imagine myself having breakfast in that cafe. We have something similiar here called Dolce Gusto, I'm not sure it is a same thing or not, but I want it so badddd. Glad to know you such had a great time, waiting for your baking recipes!
I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad
I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad
