Window Shopping by Cynthia Catera

For a night, I played tourist with visiting all the store windows in Midtown and taking photos like it was going out of Fashion. My favorite, Saks, took home the gold for most creative display:

The Blaze Tour by Cynthia Catera

A few weeks back we embarked on a journey past Sleepy Hallow to Croton on Hudson for the annual Great Jack O'lantern Blaze Tour.  Being the last week of the tour, I was slightly skeptical on the condition these pumpkins would be in, but low-and-behold every jack o'latern was fully in tacked in colossal sculptures which were all hand carved.

CIZE it up!!!! by Cynthia Catera

So for almost a year now, I've been taking Insanity classes at my gym which combines cardio with body weight resistance. NOW, there's a new version out called CIZE, combining those same elements with hip-hop dance moves. This past Friday, in lieu of Halloween, we did an 80's version spiriting Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons at the Athleta store on the UWS. Here's me with my instructor, Sarah Elizondo, who's such an incredible and inspirational force of nature!

Battleview Orchards by Cynthia Catera

One of my favorite Fall-esque things to do is apple and pumpkin picking. And for 3 years now, we've been going out to Battleview Orchards for our annual picking. This year, we had an addition to our crew, Zoey, who was the best (and cutest) picker of all ! :)  And don't forget those apple cider doughnuts!

Picturesque Maine by Cynthia Catera

Maine has quite the scenic landscape at every glimpse and angle. From the waterfronts, to nature trails, even the breathtaking sunsets. Everywhere you look is picturesque. Here are some of my favs from the trip... 

DOWNTOWN PORTLAND & FREEPORT by Cynthia Catera

With the historic cobblestones and endless shops, Portland is a great weekend getaway. Be sure to check out my food post for all the top places to grab a bite :)

A short car ride away will take you to Freeport, home of LL Bean. Which surprisingly, the weekend we were visiting, they were having an arts and craft fair (my fav!) All I want to know is....can I get one of those Bootmobiles?!
