Holiday Away

After months of slight deliberation, my family decided to go on a mini vacay away from the [extended] family. Makes Christmas all the more special- of overcrowding and annoying one another .

For a country that's a mere 3 (or so) hours from NY, it just took about all day to get there. Luckily our layover was in Miami, where the people were friendly and the food was delicious.

Anyway, this adventure starts on the northern portion of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata. Where I thought the mountains were volcanoes {but really they were just really large hills.}

We went on a little adventure with my new best friend Paloma, the pathetic looking horse, that was anything but. I certainly wouldn't say that I am a connoisseur of the whole horse back riding situation, but I have a better feel of what it's like riding along the country side. Although completely beautiful with the backdrop of hills and plenty of farmland [cows and chickens included], it was horrifying with my stubborn out of control horse. I love you P!

We obvi went to go to the various beaches along the island {{granted it was areas within the resort.}} Although overcast, it was nice not dealing with the New York chill.

Best part ... We found Walmart, ok Wall*Mart but nonetheless a super cute boutique right on the beach!!

Last but not least, one outfit post. Why? Because vacations mean dressing like a slob and relaxing, and I'm a huge fan of both!

Excuse the over exposure of these images, my beautiful new camera took these pictures from the back porch of the gparents house late Chrismy evening.

Now that was more than a mouthful. I am after all a believer of run-on sentences and imperfect grammar especially when it makes the most amount of sense in the weirdest kind of way.

Think on that.

Wintry beginnings mean one thing, layers- tons of them. This happens to be one of the rare times I've actually matched a day in my life. And i happened to be super comfortable in my excessively baggy attire- hint hint for some of us it makes us look thinner. Just Saying.

Side note, with the ridic amount of holidays in these fallish kind of winterish month's there seems to be a ton of animal traveling. Breaks my heart, in the few flights i took over the holidays, I saw but one sad little pup in his traveling bag looking all pathetic like on the SUBWAY. Yeah i meant it, I heard more crying babies than traveling pets. Where did the puppies go y'all?

Luckily this is not that poor puppy, but it is after all my cousin. Yup, I meant it, by default this pooch is my cousin because it belongs to my uncle. No regrets here, sweetest dog ever and I miss him already.

Now I will continue on with listening to some poorly written pop music of the nineties and pretend read a book. 

Night B. Yes each and every one of you.
