<p>This was my first holiday season spent in New York and it has been nothing short of magical. From every last drop of the city being decorated to the visitors and experiences with family and friends I&#8217;ve had the past few weeks, I feel so full of happiness and am left feeling very, very blessed. Tonight I head home to spend the next couple of weeks at home with my family, see my cousin get married and enjoy a lot of R&amp;R while catching up with old friends.</p>
<p>Here are a few snapshots from the past few weeks- looking back on them I feel like one very lucky gal!</p>

<p>My Sunday was spent as a truly perfect East Coast fall day (my first of many, I hope). I headed upstate New York bright and early with Taylor and some girlfriends for a day spent embracing the fall weather and everything great that comes with it.</p>
<p>We visited a farm where we did cheese tasting (and indulged in pre-lunch pumpkin ice cream- soooo good) as well as played with some of the cutest farm animals (including the four day old calf seen above- precious!), shopped in antique stores, wine tasted and rounded out the day on an orchard with apples ripe for the picking where I also picked up some pumpkin bread and a mini apple pie (alas, my schedule this week won&#8217;t allow for me to indulge in an apple version of <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/2009/11/01/mmm-peach-raspberry-crisp/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">this</a>).</p>
<p>It was the perfect way to round out such a great weekend in New York. Hope you all had a great one as well. Happy Monday&#8230;xo!</p>

<p>When I declared via Twitter earlier this summer that I was finally on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> I had many an exclamation back that I was way late in the game. At first I was thinking &#8220;What could possibly be so great about this site that would evoke such reactions&#8221; and then I got to pinning&#8230;.oh what fun it is!</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t use it, Pinterest is like one big inspiration board and insight into those of others all in one spot. It&#8217;s an amazing display of just what true beauty actually does live out on the web. The images &#8220;pinned&#8221; are often stunning, thought-provoking, inspiring and downright delightful and leave you wanting more&#8230;more color in your life, more fresh berries in your summer cocktail, more clean lines and decorative accents in your home, more mixed prints in your wardrobe and more freshness and flair in your everyday life.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example of some of the things I&#8217;ve pinned or have seen pinned recently on Pinterest to give you an idea. Personally, I pin on everything from <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/i-wish-my-home-looked-like/" target="_blank">home decor</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/yum/" target="_blank">all things yummy</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/just-my-style/" target="_blank">personal style</a> to <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/isn-t-she-lovely/" target="_blank">looks and ladies I love</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9428" title="Screen shot 2011-08-30 at 10.43.51 PM" src="http://witwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Screen-shot-2011-08-30-at-10.43.51-PM-450x334.png" alt="" width="470" height="348" /></p>
<p>And if you follow anyone on Pinterest&#8230;let it be <a href="http://pinterest.com/dallasshaw/" target="_blank">Dallas Shaw </a>and <a href="http://pinterest.com/glitterguide/" target="_blank">Glitter Guide</a>. Sensational finds every day that showcase just how much there is out in life to delight in. (Oh, and there&#8217;s <a href="http://pinterest.com/meghandono/" target="_blank">me</a>, too <img src='http://witwhimsy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) Are you on Pinterest??</p>
<p>p.s. one week till <a href="http://witwhimsy.com/2011/08/30/see-me-speak-at-ifbs-evolving-influence/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">IFB</a>! Will I see you there?!</p>
<p>p.p.s- check out Aussie label <a href="http://toietmoi.com.au/site/" target="_blank">Toi et Moi</a> for some serious style lusting. Their pieces are so effortlessly cool. They remind me of California! Have a few being sent my way and already cannot wait to style them!</p>

<p>This week I&#8217;m out in my favorite place on earth: Beaver Creek, Colorado. Spending time with my family, laying by the pool, cooking, driving throughout the Rocky Mountains, visiting Farmer&#8217;s Markets, shopping and soaking up the most breathtaking views that I&#8217;ll never get sick of. I may be more spare in posting this week, but if you <a href="http://www.twitter.com/meghandono" target="_blank">follow me on Twitter</a> you can get in on all the beautiful surroundings I&#8217;m taking in!</p>
<p>p.s. have you taken a sec to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/witwhimsy" target="_blank">like w&amp;w on Facebook</a>?!</p>
<p>Hope you all had fabulous weekends! XO</p>
