7 Wineries in Virginia You Need to Visit

The Best Wineries in Virginia

Maybe I’m a bit biased because I’m a native, but I think Virginia produces some of the best wine in the country. Did you know that there are over 230 wineries in the state of Virginia? We take our wine production pretty seriously over here!

The month of October is Virginia Wine Month, and IMO it’s the best time to plan a winery trip in our great state. Towards the end of the month, you’ll get stunning fall foliage views, and you can also try all of the incredible cuisine that our state has to offer.

True life: I attempted to write this post yesterday, sat for an hour typing this out (and organizing images and proper links) and when I was 95% done with the post, my WordPress tab reloaded and I lost it all. Pro tip: always write your blog posts in a separate editor, because WordPress won’t always auto-save your drafts!

Anyway: the title of this post is a little deceiving, but this is something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart for a bit. When I was at NYFW last week, I was at an event and having a great time with someone that I thought was my blog friend. Turns out: I was very wrong.

NYFW Recap: Day 1 

First things first: I cannot believe I haven’t updated the blog for a week! I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone this long without any updates. I tried to schedule a couple more posts before leaving for NYFW, but I just ran out of time.

Now that my week is winding down, I figured it was the perfect time to start sharing some recaps of New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019. Out of all the NYFW’s I’ve attended, this season has to be my absolute favorite. Let me share some trends with you that I can’t wait to rock next year!

My Style Inspiration: 

Ladies and gentleman: let me introduce my best friend, and one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met: my mother. My friends also know her as Mama Chew.

I’m an only child, and my mom was a single parent, so we have a really tight bond (and yes, we totally did watch Gilmore Girls together!) Not only is she a brilliant woman but she also is one of the reasons why I developed an interest in fashion at an early age.
