Happy New Year! I hope y'all had a great first day of 2016. My birthday (and my brother- I'm a twin!) was on Tuesday and I wanted to visit the Biltmore House, but it was raining all week so we ended up going yesterday. This is the second time I've been during Christmastime (or when they still have the decorations up) and I'm dying to go in the spring when everything has bloomed. Let me just say- if you've never been before, GO! It's truly incredible and a little bit surreal.
My brother's girlfriend and her mom came to visit for our birthday and we had so much fun touring the house. They were here most of the week so it was really nice to spend some time with them since we've moved!
I decided to change my outfit last minute with the chance of rain and warm weather moving out and the cold coming in. I was originally going to wear a skirt, but I'm so glad I didn't because it was so cold! I got these gorgeous over the knee boots for my birthday and I'm in love! I never would have thought I would like these, much less ever want them but I feel so chic in them. They have chunky heel, which if you're going to wear a heel, is perfect for walking around a lot. I also love them in grey and taupe. I typically like to wear classic pieces with one or two trendy things, but I loved this entire outfit when I tried it on. I've never really been a "hat girl" but a friend of mine wore one recently and I loved how it looked so I thought I'd give it a try!
The view of the mountains were incredible behind the house from the balcony. Here's my twin brother!
The Biltmore has a hotel and a few more places on the grounds where you can stay and make a fun weekend getaway. After we visited the house we drove over (it's on 8000 acres) to the winery and tasted some wine. It was so fun! You can visit the greenhouse and vineyard any time of the year but I would love to go during the spring when all the flowers are bloomed and it's a bit warmer. I also saw the sweetest proposal in front of the Biltmore house. It was picture perfect! (Hint hint to anyone who wants to propose to me ;) hehe)
How did you spend your New Year's Day?
Stay sunny,
Katie
