Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fun weekend. Having just gotten back to Cleveland, I am still trying to wrap my head around being home and moving on to new and exciting things. Here are some pictures from friends and family around the country. Enjoy your week!

Hey there! We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. I welcomed Farrell and Albert back to the United States while they stayed with me in NYC for a couple of days. It was so great to have them here with me. Today we’ve got a round of funny iPhone pictures that Farrell snapped during her travels.

Moving right along into December, y’all. I’m feeling good about it, good about all of you and really good about Rihanna’s latest. Wishing you a peaceful week.

Walking in the woods, looking for bald eagles, listening to all the country sounds while the dogs chase beasts in the sharp cold air makes home & a fireplace look even cozier!

In honor of Thanksgiving, here are some more pictures from our time in Turkey! Gobble, Gobble!
After a few days in Istanbul, we all headed south to Fethiye and were super lucky with beautiful, warm weather.

Back in Istanbul before saying our goodbyes
After parting way, Albert and I headed to Cappadocia in central Turkey. It is so important to me that I stress how amazing Cappadocia is. It is one of the most unreal places I have ever been in my life. The terrain was created from lava that has eroded from rainwater and wind over the course of thousands of years. Not only that, but since 800 B.C. people have been carving caves inside and underground in the mountains themselves. The underground cities are up to 8 floors deep and at one time10,000 people lived there. If you have the chance to go to Turkey, do not miss Cappadocia.

Love Valley, seriously.

If you ever have the chance to go to Turkey, please do. It is an amazing country rich with culture and, without sounding too cliche, where East really does meet West. Turkey has so much to offer and I feel like we barely scratched the surface.
We spent time seeing the sights in Istanbul, reunited with Lauren and my dad, caught some sun in Southern Turkey and then headed East to the unimaginable land of Cappadocia. Here are just a handful of my favorite pictures from our time here.

We’re back today after turning the last two Picturesque posts over to Kelley, our soon to be sister to disco. If you didn’t see them, I promise you do not want to miss these photos from the Haute Dog Halloween Parade. Check out both installments here and here.

We posted the first round of pictures from the Haute Dog Halloween Costume Parade from our soon to be sister-in-law, Kelley, last week. Though Halloween feels like ages ago, we didn’t want you to miss the second half. They’re too amazing.

Thanks, Kelley!!
While Farrell and I are traveling together, we’ve asked our soon to be sister-in-law, Kelley if she’d take over the Picturesque posts. And she really delivered! Because every picture she sent is worth seeing, we’re splitting them into two posts. Check back next Monday for the second half.

Inspired by the cuteness of our own dog in costume, Teddy (aka Brother Tango) and I decided to take a trip down to Long Beach, CA for the annual Haute Dog Halloween Costume Parade. The warm, sunny weather almost made me forget that it was late October, but the Spooooky Halloween costumes quickly brought me to my senses. Overall, it was the cutest 45 minutes I have ever spent. If you’re ever in SoCal over Halloween, I highly recommend going. Enjoy!

Hope it was a delightful weekend full of Halloween cheer and effective storm prep, for you fellow East Coasters. Having the 31st fall mid-week means that there’s been a steady stream of random costume sightings in NYC over the past several days. I love it. Now onto the pics. Thanks for this week’s batch folks!
