A Boston Fashion Blog
This morning I spent a large amount of time trying to figure out what I should be for Halloween this year (productive, aren’t I?). Currently, I’m leaning toward the leg lamp from A Christmas Story because I think it would be hilarious and a pretty simple costume to make. Then I logged in on Blogger and saw that Grass and Lemonade had nominated me for
Happy Monday! Today’s outfit post is dedicated to, you guessed it, booties! I purchased these “Joli” DV by Dolce Vita booties at Macy’s before I moved up north and I absolutely love them. I only had flat and hidden wedge pairs of ankle boots in my closet, and the Joli fits the void in my boot collection. The heel is the perfect height to give
A few days ago my boyfriend took me on a little detour to Castle Island in South Boston before heading out of the city. It’s on the shore of the Boston Harbor and home to Fort Independence, which to my disappointment, is not an actual castle. But it’s been around since 1634 so there’s your American history fact of the day! I did a little
Perhaps it’s my extreme adoration for shiny things or my love of contrasting colors, but black & gold has been tickling my fancy recently. I can’t get enough of it! From the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Ralph Lauren to the Resort 2013 collection of Alexander McQueen, black and gold has become the “it” color combination for fall. Baroque, brocade and embroidery have been huge trends this season and I
As I’m sure many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Every year I’m happy to see that more and more brands are selling products for this special month (or all year long) and donating proceeds of each purchase to many Breast Cancer research foundations. I’m all about using the power of fashion and beauty for a good cause which is why today’s
Happy Sunday! I was the definition of lazy bones this weekend and not ashamed of it. I relaxed, drank some pumpkin ale and tested out my new Canon Rebel T3i (spoiler alert: it’s awesome). I also did a little bit of exploring around the harbor my new town of Hingham, MA. And now I want to buy a boat. In other news, I finally got
Happy Sunday everyone! My apologies for slacking on updating the blog lately. I just made the big move to Boston last Friday and all the packing, driving and unpacking has kept me pretty preoccupied. I’m happy to report that I’m all settled in now and ready to get back on my blogging grind! Tonight’s post is all about how to wear a chambray shirt. I’ve
Today I’m really excited to debut my new beauty feature: Makeup Monday! I’ll be reporting on beauty trends and reviewing my favorite makeup and skin care products on the first and last Mondays of each month. Hope you like! This summer I experimented a lot with bold lip colors and quickly became addicted to them. But now that fall is officially upon us, I’ve been
Last week I paid a visit to the newest kid on Newark’s block: Alex and Ani. I had only heard of the eco-friendly brand while I was interning at a boutique in Philly last summer, so I was excited to hear it would be making its debut in Delaware. Alex and Ani is based in Rhode Island and was started by Carolyn Rafaelian. The brand
I think every Goodwill in America should be playing the clean version of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” in their stores right now. My boyfriend just sent me the link to this video about 20 minutes ago and I’m obsessed. It’s a rap song about thrift shopping. How much better can it get? The clothes in the video are hilariously awesome, if you like to
