A Look Inside the Octagon House

Last Monday I took myself on a solo adventure and went to visit the Armour-Stiner House.  The Octagon House is located in Irvington, in Westchester County, New York.  It is a National Historic Landmark since 1976 and it is the only domed octagonal residence.  It is truly a master piece! 

 For only $33 dollars you can tour the outside and inside of the house.  All while learning the history not only of the house but of every single family that owned it at some point. 

I of course had to dress for the occasion and wore this beautiful vintage dress, perfect colors for the house I swear I was blending in LOL 

 Needless tp say I asked the tour guide if there were any ghost in the house and to my surprised she said yes!  There is known to be a French decent girl living in the house and one of the owners wrote about her in his books.  The moment I heard that I immediately booked my Fall tour because during spooky season they speak all about this mysterious French girl. 

Truly an amazing site to see.

Have a nice weekend!

Life Is Better At The Beach

Driving that extra hour sitting in traffic and paying all the tolls doesn't stop me from going. We like to discover new places every year, and this year we are obsessed with Bradley Beach. We have been there 6 times already.   I got this little crochet top for free when Mandee was having a buy one get one free sale. Paired with high waisted shorts, flip flops and sunnies it is the perfect outfit for a fun beach day. xo, Yaudy One more... Mandee cover-up/H&M bathing suit

Drive-In

Old Navy shirt /Forever 21 shorts & earrings/Michael Kors sandals via T.J. Maxx /H&M bag/ Ulta lips in #236 My husband and I went to see a movie at the drive-in theater this past Saturday. It was my first time going and I really enjoyed it. Since we were going to be in the car, comfort was on my mind when I got dressed and thank God I brought a blanket the temperature dropped down to 60 degrees by the time we left.   Since comfort was on my mind, these shorts were the perfect pick. Paired with my chambray top, sparkly earrings and my new T.J Maxx find (sandals I got for a fraction of the price) was the perfect comfy look to sit in my car for two and a half hours. Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! xo, Yaudy
