On Me: Boohoo Sweater (no longer available, but see below); SOREL Conquest Carly Boot (possibly the best fall/winter boot ever)
Where we spent Sunday: in one of my favorite day-trip towns.
Warwick, NY is about an hour north of the city, and is sort of tailor-made for a fall escape: it’s all orchards and wineries and bed and breakfasts and cute little taverns and artisanal ice cream parlors. Super cute; highly recommend that you go (go soon if you’re planning to pick apples; the trees get kind of picked over by early October).
– Pick up some sparkle at Forever Yours Jewelers
– Eat the Beef Stew and get a pint at Yesterday’s Saloon
– Browse the shelves at The Book Store on Main Street (great children’s section)
– Take a pony ride and pick some apples at Masker’s Orchard
– Stop by Applewood Orchards for a wine tasting
– Spend the night at the Warwickshire B&B
– Drive out to the Iron Forge Inn for amazing upscale pub dishes in a (very) romantic setting
Best for eating: McIntosh, Pink Lady, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Cortland
Best for baking: Empire, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gala, Braeburn, Cortland, Winesap (I usually combine a mix of several varieties in a single pie; it makes for more interesting flavor and texture)
P.S. While the sweater pictured above is ridiculous (and yet amazing, so I had to show it to you), horse sweaters in general are the best.
Let’s look at a few, shall we?
