If there's one piece I'd like to live in on cold New England days, it'd be an oversized sweater. And it's easy to see why—they're comfy, casual, and easy to style with maxi skirts, jeans, and leggings. Oh, and this green one from Chicwish is also under $50! Not only is it great for a relaxed winter weekend, but it easily dresses up your sneaker and jeans outfit.
White Mountains, New Hampshire
It's been almost 15 years since I've lived in New England and experienced true autumn. One of the many things I loved about living in Los Angeles was the endless warm weather. However, after moving back here in September, I realized that there was a lot I missed about experiencing real seasons. That's why I wanted to make sure to take a road trip (or 5) to get a glimpse of some of the most quintessential New England fall views.
Franconia Notch and the Kancamagus Highway landed high on our must-see list and they definitely did not disappoint. We drove from Newburyport, MA, and on a normal day it should take about 2 hours, but with Saturday traffic, it ended up taking almost 4. So if you can, avoid driving up on the weekend! There seemed to be an endless amount of turn-offs all along the scenic Kancamagus route and at each, you can find pretty hikes and walking paths to explore. The highway winds through the mountains beneath a massive covering of foliage and the drive is just as pretty as you could imagine.
A few fun spots we enjoyed:
Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch (make reservations) which has great hikes/walking trails and waterfalls
One Love Brewery is a fun spot to grab a festive local beer and some snacks
Lincoln Woods Trailhead is a great place to stop and walk/hike along the Kancamagus Highway
