November 2025 Moodboard (Desktop & iPhone Wallpapers!)


Happy November! What a fun October it was: a fall trip upstate, the annual Frantumnal escape to my aunt's house, and so many fun memories with friends. This weekend we dressed up for Halloween (Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau!) and had a fun dinner party last night. Tonight we're heading to a party for our friend who ran the NYC marathon, too! But before that - have to share the moodboard!!!


Anyway - I hope you love this month's moodboard!

Good morning to my favorite month of the year! I say this every year -- how is it October? With the US Open, NYC ballet, a trip to see my mom, and a couple concerts, September just flew by! But I am so excited for fall here in NYC; this is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the foliage, a big sweater, jeans + ballet flats, and of course, a pumpkin coffee. Ugh, I'm just so excited.

My best friend Elizabeth is visiting me here in NYC this weekend, and then next weekend I'm so excited to head up to Hudson for a cozy fall weekend! In between I'm hoping to enjoy a few more Central Park walks, and planning to pull out all of my sweaters as soon as it cools down.

Anyway - I hope you love this month's moodboard! October is always one of my favorites; find October 2023 and 2024 linked as well!

48 Hours in Porto


I can't believe it's been a month since we got back from our Europe trip! After my family trip to Puglia, Joe and I spent a few days in Portugal. Neither of us had been before, and we loved it! We spent 48 hours in Porto, and a few days in Lisbon. We absolutely loved Porto; it deserves a proper recap!

Better late than never, right?! August was such a fun month - from Italy, to Portugal, to my birthday, Nantucket, and a wedding over Labor Day weekend, it was a busy, fun, fabulous month. I'm always sad for my birthday month to come to a close, but fall in NYC is my favorite, and I'm so ready to be done with the hot weather.

September will be a fun one; I am going to the US Open for the very first time tonight, visiting my mom for her birthday later this month, and I'm very much looking forward to getting back into a routine here in the city as well.

Without further adieu (and SO sorry for the delay!) I hope you love this month's moodboard! September is always a good one; find September 2022, 2023, and 2024 linked as well!

27 in NYC!

Fran Acciardo 27th Birthday Recap

Last week I celebrated my 27th birthday here in NYC! It was such a fun celebration; I did the exact same thing that I did last year for my birthday. I really feel like I've cracked the code on how to have a fabulous mid-week birthday in the city that feels really special, even if it's only a Wednesday.
