Things To Do in Boston: King Richard’s Faire Plus a GIVEAWAY

Fall is far from my favorite season, however, there is so much to do in Boston this fall that I’ve been looking forward to!

Sure there’s apple picking and pumpkin patches, and trips to Salem. But one of my favorite things to do in the fall is to visit King Richard’s Faire.

If you’ve never been, here are some things to look forward to, in addition to their themed days–

Costumes

As the fashion lover that I am, one thing I love most about going to King Richard’s Faire is seeing all of the outfits and costumes that people wear. Don’t do cosplay or have anything to wear? You can rent a costume for the day from Seams Like a Dream located right by the entrance!

Food

The chicken tenders, fries and ice cream are always a hit with my niece and nephew, but if you really want to get into the Renaissance Faire spirit, I can’t recommend the turkey leg enough. 

Shows

Are you a theater kid at heart? I know I am, so I make sure to catch at least one musical performance on the King’s Stage. You’re sure to recognize a melody or two…

Jousting

Perhaps the most memorable experience is the jousting, a joust to the death and so much blood! But all in good fun, of course. 

Rides

A medieval amusement park, if you will! The swings were a favorite and worth waiting in line to ride several times.

Shopping

My personal favorite part is the shopping. We walked around with the queen of the faire herself, and learned about all things fashion and costuming. I will for sure have my own dress from Moresca Clothing & Costume, boots from Son of Sandlar and chainmaile or jewelry from Mardigan’s Maile to wear next year! And if you’re ever not sure of what to get for a gift for someone you know who happens to be into LARPing or role playing games, you’ll absolutely want to check out Dragonfly’s Realm and Dragon’s Den Candles.

Have you ever been to a Renaissance Faire? Sad you missed out on going to King Richard’s Faire with me this year? Well there’s still time! AND EVEN BETTER, I’m partnering with King Richard’s Faire to give one of you the chance to win four (4) tickets to their Fantasy Finale Weekend! To enter, leave a comment on this blog post sharing what you’re most looking forward to at King Richard’s Faire, along with your email address (so that I can contact you if you win). One (1) lucky winner will be selected and notified Monday, October 17, 2022. 

And make sure to check out my Instagram for even more photos from the faire!

Make a Difference with Nordstrom Made

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective, and contains affiliate links.

It has gotten so cold outside! And although I want to look cute when I step out, I am not trying to freeze in the process. This year I’m also trying to make the best purchases for both myself and the planet. So, when it comes to staying on trend and warm, I shop sustainable items and do my part to help make a difference with Nordstrom Made brands.

I’ve often shared that one of my favorite ever Nordstrom Made brands is Treasure & Bond. What I may have not shared is that my favorite trending item is the puffer jacket. Finding a sustainable long puffer jacket by Treasure & Bond was the best possible discovery!

I’m the most excited to wear it all winter long. Here are two of the ways that I’ve styled it already–

Since my style is more on the casual side, I had to wear it with my favorite sustainable jeans and a new ribbed tank top that I picked up with the puffer jacket with the comfy boots I essentially live in. 

Shop this look:

This dress is actually one that I’ve had for a while, I absolutely adore it and cannot recommend it enough. And with the boots and bag that everyone has been raving about, what’s not to love about this look?

Shop this look:

One of the best things happened when I purchased my puffer jacket, I was able to use $20 in Nordstrom Notes and ended up technically also getting the Treasure & Bond ribbed tank for free!

Make Moves with Nordstrom Made Athletic Apparel

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Nordstrom and ShopStyle Collective, and contains affiliate links.

Even though I am far from what anyone would consider a fitness fanatic, there is no denying my love of athletic apparel. One of my all time favorite brands to shop for athletic apparel is the Nordstrom Made brand Zella. And one of my favorite ever purchases is this Zella Longline Quilted Bomber Jacket. Not only is it great for cold weather, it’s super chic and under $200!

You can style it like I did here, over a sweatshirt or a hoodie with leggings. You can also find trendier Zella pieces, like a jumpsuit or slit front flare pants to wear it with. Not your taste? Try a performance vest instead.

Whether you’re shopping for last minute holiday gifts or looking to update your fitness staples for the new year, Nordstrom is sure to have whatever it is that you’re looking for!

8 Cute Picks to Wear to Your Next Football Game

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

While my favorite kind of football will always be soccer, seeing as how I did play in both high school and college, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love my New England Patriots something fierce. There’s hardly anything football related that I love more than showing my support for them in style with cute football game outfit ideas, even if I do tend to stay at home on game day.

If you’ve ever found yourself trying to figure out what to wear to a football game, this blog post is definitely for you!

Regardless of whether you’ll be in a stadium or on a couch, or watching college or NFL, here are three cute outfits to wear to a football game—

Fall Football Outfit
Cute Outfit to Wear to a Football Game
New England Patriots Game Day Outfit
Game Day Gear and Leggings Look
Tailgate NFL Sweatshirt

And here are eight picks to wear this season

I already own a some of these items, and all the others are on my Christmas list!

Please don’t think that you need to run out and buy team apparel just to look good at a game. If there’s anything in your closet that already own in your team’s colors that will work just perfectly as well. I know for other sports, I’ve also been known to rock and all black look.

Do you have any upcoming football related plans?

Lightweight Fall Pieces I Love A Lot, Perfect for Transitional Dressing

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and features gifted product from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The weather in New England can be pretty unpredictable, especially in the fall. The key to being prepared for the changing of seasons is lightweight fall staple pieces that you can layer differently throughout the day.

The number one lightweight fall piece that I love for transitional dressing is a fleece. Dick’s Sporting Goods has so many great options in this category, including my personal favorite, which is The North Face Denali Fleece

Not only do fleeces make the perfect jacket for this time of year, they look great with everything from a tank top to a turtleneck. And if you have a thin enough jacket or vest, you can layer one under your fleece as well.

Shop fleeces—

In addition to lightweight layering pieces, another way that I like to adjust to the dropping temperatures is to switch up my footwear. 

Shop footwear—

Just add crew socks and a beanie, and you’re good to go!

Plus with the holidays just around the corner, it’s worth noting that these cold weather accessories also make great gifts! Dick’s Sporting Goods has blankets, tumblers, and whatever else you might need for your next adventure.

Scary and Spooktacular Halloween Nail Items You Need Now

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links and some of the Static Nails products were gifted.

In case you couldn’t tell from my previous blog post, I’ve decided to go all out for Halloween this year. And the only thing that I might love even more than a stylish Halloween costume, are scary cute Halloween nails. I even went as far as to coordinate my nails with some of my Halloween costumes, like these snake accent nails that I wore with my Medusa costume.

Nail art has been blowing up on social media lately, so much so, that I recently took a Gel X class just so I could learn how to do my nails for myself. While I’m far from a professional nail technician by any means, I can now at least do my own nails a number of different ways. 

Even so, my go to way to do my nails is still to use press on nails.

To create my recent Halloween nails for the most part I used Static Nails Pop-On Reusable Manicure Sets. For the one set that I didn’t, I used the Scratch Limited Edition Hocus Pocus Nail Wraps from their Nina Nailed It October Monthly Mani Kit.
