The Time I Picked a Pumpkin for the First Time


This past weekend I made the journey down to Robbinsville, New Jersey to go pumpkin picking with my friend Stephen. He drove us to Windsor Farm & Market and I could barely contain my excitement since this would be my first time pumpkin picking and my first hayride. Having lived in New Jersey for so many fall seasons, that is pretty sad. The hayride was ridiculously adorable though - we were surrounded by little kids and their parents and the little kids kept waving at all the cardboard cartoon characters that decorated the trail. There was another portion of the trail set up for the haunted hayride (at night) that was pretty spooky even in the day time.

H&M Corduroy Skirt
Wayfair Wedges

Once we arrived at the pumpkin patch, I started to realize how silly I looked in my wedges, trying to make my way through all the vines and shrubs. There were some cocklebur plants that are super prickly and they kept getting stuck in my cardigan and on Stephens legs. It was a ton of fun searching for those perfect pumpkins and gourds. I got a classic, orange pumpkin for my roommate and then I picked up a few smaller gourds to decorate my room with. I can't wait to show you guys pictures this week (yes, that's right, you'll finally get to see my room).

After leaving the farm with all our pumpkin swag, we stopped by Terhune Orchards in Princeton where I bumped into one of my old, high school friends and her girlfriend. It really is a small world and it turns out there were so many more people I knew that stopped by the farm the day after. The main reason we stopped by Terhune is because I wanted to get my hands on my first ever apple cider donut. I bought a bag of six and almost devoured them all before deciding to save some for my roommates.

Being back in New Jersey for the day and seeing all the beautiful fall foliage just reminds that I'll alway be a Jersey girl at heart. I love living in New York City but I don't think I'll ever consider myself a true New Yorker. My heart doesn't drop in New York like it does in Jersey.

    I wore my new Steve Madden wedges to the beach which ended up turning into a rocky shore hike!

  17. these pictures are gorgeous, Jen! I'm so jealous of your autumn-y adventures! I've never been pumpkin picking either, and that haunted hay ride sounds AWESOME.
    hopefully next year I will be able to do some of these same things.;)
    I have a friend from Jersey and he's always trying to get us to move there instead of Brooklyn! Jersey sounds awesome.

  23. That's probably one of the cutest pumpkin picking outfits I've ever seen! I can't believe you'd never been to a pumpkin patch but I'm glad you got to do it :) Those apple cider doughnuts sound amazing too, I would have had a hard time not eating them all! Thanks for visiting and commenting my blog!

  26. Love these photos Jen (as always)! :) I've never been pumpkin picking either (or apple picking or picking anything other than clothes and groceries hahaha). I love this outfit! It's so perfect for Fall with all the Fall colors and I love that it's made up of all pieces we've seen before :) I wore maroon in today's post and I think I will need to wear a mustard cardigan with my maroon dress next time! Miss you so much <3

  28. Oh goodness, this post makes me so happy! I love that you and I had some country adventures in the same weekend :) And I can hardly believe that this was your first pumpkin picking/hayride/cider donut experience! It's never truly fall until that happens.

    Even though it sounds like your wedges gave you some grief, they're simply adorable :) I'm so glad you had fun (and picked up "pumpkin swag"- that made me giggle!), and I'm excited to see your room.

    Pumpkin hugs!
