This is less of a fashion post and more of a “Virginia is one of the most beautiful places on earth” post. I’ve known this all along, but moving back to the VA has allowed me to get back in touch with my roots. B and I went to Skyline Drive on Sunday. We were late getting started, as we often are, but it ended up working out for the best, because we were able to see the sun set over this incredible view.
It’s only an hour away from DC and this is a great time of year to check it out. Everyone add it to their bucket lists now! And I highly recommend you stick around long enough to catch the sunset.
PS Going to NYC this weekend. Any updates on the bedbug epidemic? Do I need to worry about them in certain stores? Where can I shop??!
amazing pictures, wow!! VA looks a lot like southern NY.. tho we've never had a sunset that beautiful.
Patrick's grandparents were at Skyline Drive this past weekend as well! I've never been, sadly, but would like to go soon! SO beautiful. Also, the name of this post attracted me, I go to Old Dominion University!
woah gorgeous, I will most definitely go when I'm back in the District in a year!
The sky is soo beautiful! Lovely pictures!
GREAT pics, so beautiful. Even though you look casual you still look magazine-stylish!!
Great photos! I love your jacket. Have fun in NYC and don't let the bed bugs bite!
Beautiful photos and I love your jacket!
Beautiful thanks for sharing. Love the cape and that t-shirt.
Beautiful pictures!!! And I'm totally freaked out by the bed bug epidemic, too. My boyfriend lives up in NYC so I travel back and forth quite a bit. I usually take the bus between DC and NY and I'm paranoid that my luggage will get infested when I place it down in the compartment with everyone elses bag! So far, so good though, and I haven't encountered any infested stores yet either…whew!
The skyline and the cape like anorak are gorgeous.
Both are now on my bucket list.
That view is stunning!! Lovely photos!
I know you said that this is less of a fashion post, but you look gorgeous! love that jacket and boots.
I also always enjoy looking at scenery pics of different places. These ones are stunning!
ive never been to VA .. never thought i had a reason to but maybe i'll put it on my list of places to go .. it seems very relaxing. . i imagination anyplace is more relaxing than nyc and its hellish boroughs.
Such beautiful shots. I've been to VA a bunch and have always hated it, (because the only tickets I've ever had were received in VA … WTF is up with the highway patrol? How does the state have the budget for air patrol to find speeders? They should send the VA's police force to find Jimmy Hoffa!)but I dont ever remember it being so beautiful.
its so beautiful. I've been to DC twice and never explored outside of it, one day I'll have to. It's funny cause theres not much outside of vegas unless you go to california, but I'm going to try to get my work done this weekend so I can go to Utah!
Wow nice pics! You are on top of the world, yet still looking chic!
I am absolutely going to have to take a trip to Old Dominion! Thanks for the heads up and the pictures are stunning.
That view is ridiculous and so gorgeous!! I love your anorak – looks perfect for fall.
Gorgeous pictures of Skyline Drive!
Ooh, gooorgeous. What a view! Reminds me of being at my grandparents' place near the Italian alps.
That cape is too cool.
Beautiful setting! I love those boots!

And you look an effortlessly chic!
Beware of those bedbugs, but you'll be find as long as you wash you clothes before wearing them. Gorgeous setting for your photos.
So gorgeous. I adore the light in the last pic, it's just brilliant!
have fun in nyc! beautiful photos! aren't bedbugs the scariest things?
That second to last photo of you is absolutely brilliant. It made my heart catch it is so lovely.
even mention of bedbugs can't wreck that sunset.
VA really is beautiful, based on your photos!

NYC is fine don't worry… i've not heard of any new stores with the problem but i believe that as long as you stay away from most of the touristy shops and movie theaters you'll be fantastic!

Good luck in NYC, hope you find some great stuff!
