a day in Da Bronx

Last week we had a little adventure to da Bronx. John's mom has been talking about wanting to visit the neighborhood she grew up in, so John drove us all down for a little day trip! We got to see the house she lived in, her favorite pizza place, the school she went to, her favorite bakery, and hear stories from her childhood. We also had some real good pizza which I had been craving since being in Brooklyn the night before and not getting any. Anyway, I think we made his Mom very happy. It was a really nice day that we are thinking of making into a fall tradition.

Don't forget to check out my tumblr for The Fancy Bear Vintage! I've been posting shop updates, but also some outfits, random vintage inspired things and almost selfies! (this is my first time using the word "selfie", by the way).. anyway... you just might find a nice fall coupon code if you scroll through too!

Burlington, VT.

We spent Sunday wondering around with no plans other than finding a good lunch spot and making sure that John touched Lake Champlain. We ended up at Sky Burgers which I wasn't thrilled about at first, but suprisingly they had some yummy vegan / veggie options. After lunch we walked around a bit and checked out a few shops before heading back to Rutland. My time in Burlington is always short and sweet.

Jam-Packed Weekend!

This weekend was non-stop celebration. We were surrounded by family and friends as we celebrated birthdays, Father's Day, our friend's newborn baby, and John's graduation! It started out with barbequing and hot air balloon watching at my grandparents house upstate NY. My dad and younger sister were there too, which implies that we were all laughing the entire time. Sunday morning John and I headed down to Jersey to celebrate his college graduation at a lovely Italian restaurant. I am super proud of my cutie graduate boyfriend! The food was awesome and we got to spend time with more family and friends. Then we headed out to one of John's friend's house to meet his new little baby, Fay. She is the sweetest thing! I love having a good jam-packed weekend. Especially when I have Monday's off to relax and take it all in. <3
