This weekend, Sean and I headed out to the Denver Botanic Gardens Corn Maze for a fun Sunday afternoon. The weather all weekend was so warm and sunny--it felt more like fall in California than fall in Denver! I'm holding out hope that it might stay warm for Halloween.
I have another post from my recent trip to Boston for you today! Although it rained for part of my visit, we got a couple beautiful fall days, too. Sean and I spent a sunny Sunday in the Back Bay area, meeting up with friends, checking out some restaurants and pubs, and strolling around near the Boston Public Library, where we took these photos.
I was thrilled when a friend of mine from Spain told me she was taking an internship near Boston for a year. We had a fun reunion lunch at Flour Bakery. Later on that day, Sean and I met up with fellow petite blogger Jean of Extra Petite and her fiance, Nick, for some drinks at The Salty Pig. It was so much fun to talk shop and to meet an online friend in person! (For Jean's outfit details, see her post here.)
I've partnered with H&M this week to show you a couple pieces I love from their latest batch of fall outerwear arrivals! I loved picking out a cozy and chic look to style for colder weather, which I'm hoping will hit us here in Denver soon.
The coat I picked to style was from The Look by Elle for H&M. It's a sophisticated, un-fussy, minimalistic coat in an go-with-everything gray. I decided to style it with some neutral pieces for this look to keep the color scheme simple, adding a super-cozy blush-colored scarf.
I tried on a bunch of coats at my local H&M, and the one I chose ended up being the most petite-friendly. The shorter sleeves, narrow shoulders, and tailored fit worked on my frame, and while the length looks shorter styled on H&M's model, it was still a flattering length on me.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I spent Columbus Day weekend in Boston, visiting with some family and friends and seeing my adorable goddaughter. My last visit with her was two years ago, so she has changed and grown a lot! We spent a rainy Saturday at a cute French bistro in Back Bay and taking a rainy walk through Boston Public Garden.
Fall in Colorado is gorgeous, but the foliage really can't hold a candle to New England's bright reds and oranges. The fall colors weren't in full swing in Boston yet, but there were enough red leaves around to delight this Denver girl.
Since I knew rain was in the forecast, I packed my trusty Hunter boots and stayed warm and dry in the wet weather. I wrote a review about these boots a couple years ago, and I love them just as much now as I did then. They have lasted me through hundreds of miles of walking through puddles and slush, and they've been consistently comfortable, even in chilly temperatures. I particularly like this Savoy style from Hunter because they are styled more like riding boots than traditional galoshes (I like the Sandhurst and Carlyle styles, too), and they have a light quilted lining inside that helps keep my feet from getting too hot or cold.
I'll leave you with a pic of the brightest, prettiest fall foliage in Boston Public Garden and my favorite little lady at brunch at Bistro du Midi.
