My first apartment in NYC will always hold a special place in my heart; I moved into it sight-unseen after graduating from college and moving out of my house in Wisconsin. My brother drove me from Wisconsin to NYC in U-Haul, a two day trip that resulted in calling my perfect little one-bedroom home for the past three years.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div style="text-align: center;">My entire life I wanted to move to NYC after graduation. I always knew I wanted to be a city girlie, and the opportunity to live by myself in a precious apartment downtown is something I couldn't be more grateful for. I got so lucky with my apartment, and it shaped the first few years of my New York experience in the best way possible. I'll always remember this apartment so, so, so fondly. From my pink coffee tables to my naked barbies, all of the dinner parties and happy hours, the simple joys of living alone, and everything else I got to experience during my time my Soho, I'm sad to close this chapter of being an independent city girl, but excited for what's next.</div><span></span><a href="http://www.franacciardo.com/2024/02/the-end-of-era-and-start-of-new-one.html#more"></a>Fran Acciardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661033729972568061noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955795772769185323.post-42199583214958407012024-02-01T06:30:00.004-05:002024-02-01T07:05:46.380-05:00February 2024 Moodboard (Desktop & iPhone Wallpapers!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhosEI7pXoKveXlNnmS_ptmreShWNEpCtOC1rO7kcLLd0m_bb5yNjyf9YRC-6fMiHTQMt35MXOFoHyitsvlXgW1H7XJbYL0eahv7F4ICacR7mJBEcmmcptOJz_JSo63ijk9Mvc2siTPvEcfSaiMZ52b6KtCUpJxYYN3b7rJYeovnDs7OC4bzisz2q9hQJDz/s4000/feb%202024%20moodboard%20JPEG%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="fran acciardo february 2024 mood board winter desktop wallpaper iphone download pink vintage love aesthetic lovers flowers valentine's dayfran acciardo february 2024 mood board winter desktop wallpaper iphone download pink vintage love aesthetic lovers flowers valentine's day" border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="4000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhosEI7pXoKveXlNnmS_ptmreShWNEpCtOC1rO7kcLLd0m_bb5yNjyf9YRC-6fMiHTQMt35MXOFoHyitsvlXgW1H7XJbYL0eahv7F4ICacR7mJBEcmmcptOJz_JSo63ijk9Mvc2siTPvEcfSaiMZ52b6KtCUpJxYYN3b7rJYeovnDs7OC4bzisz2q9hQJDz/s16000/feb%202024%20moodboard%20JPEG%202.jpg" title="fran acciardo february 2024 mood board desktop wallpaper iphone download pink vintage love aesthetic lovers flowers valentine's dayfran acciardo february 2024 mood board winter desktop wallpaper iphone download"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><p style="text-align: center;">Happy FEBRUARY! Who else felt like January lasted literally forever?! I didn't really mind, considering 2023 was a crazy year for me.

So crazy! I am going to miss my little apartment but excited for my next chapter in NYC. I am hosting a little Galentine's tonight to celebrate in my Soho apartment one last time, and I'm really looking forward to it, although I feel like it might send me into a spiral because I've truly loved living in this apartment and hosting friends so much over the past three years...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I am so excited to share the February moodboard with all of you!

This year, I would <i>love </i><a href="https://bit.ly/3SBoW2C" target="_blank">this chic electric water heater</a>, or any <a href="https://bit.ly/3unrAzh" target="_blank">pretty serveware</a> for the dinner parties I love to host.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">For any cooking (or hosting!) enthusiasts in your life, I hope you find this gift guide helpful!<span></span></p><a href="http://www.franacciardo.com/2023/11/2023-gift-guide-cooking-enthusiast.html#more"></a>Francesca Acciardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09121718466029482576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955795772769185323.post-29640751609573664352023-11-19T16:54:00.001-05:002023-11-19T16:54:10.761-05:002023 Gift Guide: For Him<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrglYY7wI2kZIhFVR3L94COR7Tt5fdHV_nA3QtTnjAdAfzr9r7kt1rOgDmqKuK8fg-LaemR1OR4ysYIBV3vv06pqUNF9oykmY86UYs9vbhEGsxof8ZRhR4HvM6ZOk0_fB7bCGEpKn-xSdYI5bBnwZxL6mJXXMY6gHj166uW7oZWpvqIJZ4VYfZ_OwKYZS3/s3301/2023%20Gift%20Guide%20for%20Him%20JPEG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="2023 Gift Guide: For Him - Fran Acciardo Gift Ideas for Guys, Dad, Brother, Boyfriend gift guide" border="0" data-original-height="3301" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrglYY7wI2kZIhFVR3L94COR7Tt5fdHV_nA3QtTnjAdAfzr9r7kt1rOgDmqKuK8fg-LaemR1OR4ysYIBV3vv06pqUNF9oykmY86UYs9vbhEGsxof8ZRhR4HvM6ZOk0_fB7bCGEpKn-xSdYI5bBnwZxL6mJXXMY6gHj166uW7oZWpvqIJZ4VYfZ_OwKYZS3/s16000/2023%20Gift%20Guide%20for%20Him%20JPEG.jpg" title="2023 Gift Guide: For Him - Fran Acciardo Gift Ideas for Guys, Dad, Brother, Boyfriend gift guide"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm so excited to share a gift guide for the guys today!

I have absolutely loved making gift guides every season for the past 10+ years, and this year will be no different. Today we are starting off with a fun one: my personal wish list!

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween & Halloween weekend! I spent the weekend at my aunt's house on Long Island and had such a relaxing, lovely time. The foliage was incredible, and I listened to 1989 Taylor's Version for three days straight, so it's safe to say I had the time of my life, haha. Last night for actual Halloween I watched the parade with a couple of friends and then had them over for a little impromptu dinner - I made <a href="https://themodernproper.com/tortellini-soup-with-italian-sausage-and-kale" target="_blank">my fave tortellini soup recipe</a>!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">October is always one of my favorite months; this past month I enjoyed so many of my favorite fall things in New York City: exploring the West Village and Upper East Side to see the Halloween decorations, making a chili and having girlfriends over, having pumpkin ales at my favorite dive bar in Williamsburg, and more! It was such a lovely month, and I already can't wait for next October! In the meantime, we have the holidays just around the corner (gift guides start tomorrow!), which is of course so exciting. This year for Thanksgiving I'll be heading to my dad's new house in Palm Beach, which I am looking forward to! He just moved in over the summer so I'm really excited to see it for the first time!</p><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I hope you love this month's mood board as much as I do. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/franacciardo/" target="_blank">Please tag me on Instagram</a> if you download it- I absolutely love to see the mood board on your screens!!<span></span></div><a href="http://www.franacciardo.com/2023/11/november-moodboard-desktop-iphone.html#more"></a>Francesca Acciardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09121718466029482576noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955795772769185323.post-13557074331001140282023-10-23T08:30:00.002-04:002023-10-23T08:30:00.134-04:00Fall Home Decor Refresh<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HN3m6fmKE-jn0Fvdl9kaGuwhUevukjsI2PHadmUA-LsR_lQvo2pcMwD2i_oEHfYYdKwcZgt6QEjXkWa8IpVn4EN-3f0nwh7f0JV1lrhl7RyVdMUd7lEa0xG-Sqhl6F1Hho7L7IVdqE2zA6H4EA917Cdv_0w0z4Z5IkaTllJXiF67xn0MHUtJTrGqu38h/s2533/Fall%20Home%20Decor%20JPEG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fall Home Decor Refresh Fran Acciardo" border="0" data-original-height="2533" data-original-width="1400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4HN3m6fmKE-jn0Fvdl9kaGuwhUevukjsI2PHadmUA-LsR_lQvo2pcMwD2i_oEHfYYdKwcZgt6QEjXkWa8IpVn4EN-3f0nwh7f0JV1lrhl7RyVdMUd7lEa0xG-Sqhl6F1Hho7L7IVdqE2zA6H4EA917Cdv_0w0z4Z5IkaTllJXiF67xn0MHUtJTrGqu38h/s16000/Fall%20Home%20Decor%20JPEG.jpg" title="Fall Home Decor Refresh Fran Acciardo"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm throwing a dinner party tomorrow and it's gotten me in such a mood to decorate my apartment for fall; I've already gotten out my autumnal candles and a few pumpkins (I mean, obviously), but I've been wanting to incorporate more candlesticks, autumnal colors, and little things like that. Of course, the dinner party requires all sorts of festive serving dishes, seasonal cocktail napkins, etc as well. Queue the round-up of a few home decor pieces for this season..!<span></span></div><a href="http://www.franacciardo.com/2023/10/fall-home-decor-refresh.html#more"></a>Fran Acciardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661033729972568061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955795772769185323.post-89144044967718827642023-10-20T12:48:00.002-04:002023-10-20T12:48:21.527-04:00This Week's Top 10, Fall Recipes, Fall Shopping, etc<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3QxhC3bIGO5IfPgRFs7aXJod9RfQAiO_qeP4fPS2OR-iMEt1XeG-_H_uwLHvcz1DuL2_8NWUWSJjWLg2DKOSmcF5T9uiGMQ8avd_cEH3bzsHJCaerB1mkHMPITbrKNvpkzm-x5417U5rvpZ2uXUBvswjCyRwQ3oMq_wLE2B_h_ojZAPhWy523httZwdz/s911/october%20outfit.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="october outfit brown cardigan loose jeans kitten heels" border="0" data-original-height="911" data-original-width="736" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3QxhC3bIGO5IfPgRFs7aXJod9RfQAiO_qeP4fPS2OR-iMEt1XeG-_H_uwLHvcz1DuL2_8NWUWSJjWLg2DKOSmcF5T9uiGMQ8avd_cEH3bzsHJCaerB1mkHMPITbrKNvpkzm-x5417U5rvpZ2uXUBvswjCyRwQ3oMq_wLE2B_h_ojZAPhWy523httZwdz/s16000/october%20outfit.jpeg" title="This Week's Top 10, Fall Recipes, Fall Shopping, etc Fran Acciardo"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/143059725657819670/" target="_blank">image via</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Happy Friday! I returned home from Dallas on Wednesday and I am so excited to spend the rest of fall enjoying New York. I had a lovely time with Joe in Dallas; we golfed, got massages, and just hung out, and it was so relaxing as usual. I also got to see my friends <a href="https://www.instagram.com/louisemontgomeryblog/" target="_blank">Louise</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/claire.alison.ruskin/" target="_blank">Claire</a>, which was a fun surprise!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. While there, I made <a href="https://www.yourcupofcake.com/pumpkin-cream-cheese-bread-and-muffins/" target="_blank">this pumpkin bread</a> and it turned out SO delish! Just a note, I halved the recipe (except for the chocolate chips, of course) and it still made a large loaf.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Also, we finally watched <a href="https://bit.ly/46Yvv3u" target="_blank">Jury Duty</a> and LOVED it. It had us both laughing out loud! If you haven't seen it yet, I totally recommend it. Just a light, funny, quick series.<span></span></div><a href="http://www.franacciardo.com/2023/10/this-weeks-top-10-fall-recipes-fall.html#more"></a>Fran Acciardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00661033729972568061noreply@blogger.com0
