Autumn Vibes + Highlights

Another week in the books. I had a full week at work and now I’m ready for the weekend! The school I work at has an annual fall fair, which is happening this weekend. So, I’ll be working at the fair this weekend (I’m going to be face painting!) as well as celebrating a girlfriend’s birthday at Sunny Spot. I can’t wait for her birthday brunch! I’m also doing a cooking class with Sweet Laurel Bakery. It’s going to a yummy afternoon! Have a wonderful fall weekend!

Highlights:

1. The 25 best museums in the world. (townandcountrymag.com)

2. Remember when I posted about L.L. Bean Boots last week? Well, here’s an explanation as to why they are so in-demand and why they sell out so fast. (bloomberg.com)
