This past weekend, the boy surprised me with a quick getaway trip to Southampton for some much needed adventure. The picturesque train ride, made even better by a steaming hot soy latte and great company, reminded me that there was life (and real foliage) outside of the city. Staying cooped up in the city for so long sometimes makes me forget what natural landscape is...
Outfit details: Chloé bell sleeve cardigan with attached scarf, Chloé silk floral blouse, Topshop moto skinny jeans, Chloé paraty bag and susan boots
TATE'S BAKE SHOP
One of my favorite highlights of this trip was our breakfast at Tate's bakery. They're most well-known for their chocolate chip cookies (a bit too crunchy for my taste and my heart belongs to Levain bakery's cookies), but I think that their other baked goods should get some more credit.
As if their delectable treats weren't adorable enough, the bakery is actually a little house - picket white fence included. I'm a sucker for all restaurants/cafes/bakeries with outdoor seating so this place in my book automatically gets about a 50pt bonus.
I let out a mini *gasp* when I bit into this raisin scone. Yes - it was that good.
Peanut butter and flax seed "health" cookie - somewhat acceptable to eat for breakfast? ☺
Cinnamon bun - the boy pretty much gobbled this little guy up in a few minutes flat. Unlike a lot of cinnamon buns, this one is really fluffy and soft with equally as perfect frosting. The end result is kind of like eating a cloud of cushioney, pillow-like sweet cinnamon dough whilst getting sticky gooey frosting all over your lips and fingers. Wouldn't have it any other way while eating a cinnamon bun - if you're going to go there, I say go all the way.
SEVEN PONDS ORCHARD
I was most excited on this trip to go apple picking because what could possibly be better to do on a beautiful fall day in the countryside?
They also had lots of lovely produce to choose from - locavores eat your heart out!

So beautiful photos and everything looks so delicious ( especially coconut cupcake, yum! ).
You have this Chloe thing going on there :D
Hope you had lots of fun!
Fall means vibrant colors, and wonderful patches of pumpkins! And I am obsessed with anything pumpkin. With that said...I was on bloglovin tonight and noticed that I haven't been getting any updates from you. So I went on your blog to check, and there it said that you hadn't posted anything since mid October. So imagine my surprise and happiness when I finally saw a new post! As always, your post made me ridiculously hungry and made me want to travel and see the world. And...your coat is positively lovely.
super gorgeous photos woman! man this makes me want to go out there even more! im warning you, my pastry weakness is crazy, i'll eat my weight in anything bready!
ps. isn't indian corn so lovely?
Wow fall is so beautiful, i wish i could experience it too (but where I stay is tropical and sunny all year) You look so pretty & happy! :)
hey gennie
how come you closed your shop..?
i was contemplating whether to purchase the chloe dress
mmmm...apples.
gorgeous photos again gennie.
lovely.
Mmmmmmm your pictures are makin' me drool, esp. the cinnamon bun!! I must really try and go apple picking... so sad that I've never done (done berries tho) that considering I'm only 30 mins max away from one. You, Jessica from What I wore and the Glamourai seems to have convinced me more than enough that I should really go and drag my butt to the orchard - of course wearing a cute outfit is a must.
I now have an INSANE cinnamon bun craving at 2 in the morning! Oh dear, I might have to go and pick one up for breakfast...

OMGosh, LOVE LOVE LOVE your Paraty!!! Love your cardi too, and such gorgeous pics! The coconut cupcake looks so delish, and the apples...yum! I have been thoroughly enjoying Fuji apples recently as they're in season here...
The cinnamon bun looks delish too...funnily I just posted a semi-dessert post too! ;)

Lovely lovely photos as always. That bakery looks delectable and is adorable.
ah, i love this post. it has made me quite nostalgic for america (i am living in england now). all the little autumnal decorations at Tate's bakery are so quintessentially America - and you really don't get that sort of holiday cheer over here.
Adorable! What a perfect day :) And I'm still hurting so bad for your boots! Jealous x 1000
yesss finally a post!!
apple picking just basically sums up fall. honestly. i went apple picking in early october, and stocked up on honey crisps and galas. mmm , so good. i believe ontario is known for their tasty apples :)
a weekend getaway is always fun and relaxing. so nice of your boyfriend to surprise you like that!
AND you WOULD have the paraty! i've never seen that color.. it's so pretty. i saw so many replicas in black, red, and cream snakeskin/alligator skin? in korea during the summer. hilarious.
Wow, what a lovely organic trip! Such a perfect getaway and the weather looked amazing! Thanks for sharing all your gorgeous pics!
This is SO. IDYLLIC. I love going apple picking, and your Chloé bag is so damn cute perched in that Radio Flyer :)

This is fairy tale-like. Looks almost unreal. Like a film set. Love your photos!
While all of the photos are quite lovely, and make me anxious to get out of the city again, I must say that your Paraty is stunning. I just purchased my first in Ocean (navy), but your bag has me itching for another!
I have been eating Tate's cookies for years now but had no idea that they had a bakery! I will now have to make a trip.
Thanks for the tip!

That cinnamon bun is making me hungry.
