robinette's in the rain

It's apple season and I was insanely excited to check out robinette's apple orchard in Michigan for homemade donuts, hot cider, hay rides & apple picking. Turns out, Pure Michigan should change its slogan to Monsoon Michigan...little known fact: it rains 90% of the time here (technically I don't have scientific proof of this but I'm 90% positive).

Obviously a little torrential downpour wasn't coming between me and my treats, so we braved the elements & loaded up. I'd post the photo of me & my donut, but it just isn't pretty. To quote brian "you literally have sugar all over yourself". And I wouldn't change a thing. Except I'd probably buy more donuts.

I like this outfit because it reminds me of a recent girls' trip to nyc. After tragically leaving my favorite karen walker's on the train, we headed straight to barneys to replace them. I was drawn to the shoe department, and walked out of there with sneakers, instead of sunglasses. The sweater was the result of an inability to properly read my mom's iphone, fortuitously resulting in us stumbling upon a gorgeous boutique in williamsburg, brooklyn.
