Fifty-two degrees in February? That’s what last weekend in Boston felt like while I was out playing tourist with my good friend Laura. Although, it is a slightly concerning to me that we have experienced such high temps this winter, I definitely can’t complain. Ever since that little groundhog didn’t see his shadow, I’ve been dreaming of that first day when you walk outside in
How I’m Decluttering My Life in 2016
I love stuff. Ever since I was little I’ve had a fascination with collecting things and growing a curated collection of possessions. I find it really difficult to get rid of things. Instead of get rid of things or donating them, I’d rather just hide it all under my bed for a rainy day. This is why I still have binders full of notes from
Winter Textures
Well everyone, it’s here. Winter finally showed up in the form of three inches of snow in Boston last night and rumor has it a storm is coming this weekend. Insert hysterically crying face. Last year, my closet was less than prepared for winter. I didn’t have a proper winter coat OR snow boots. I know, I’m crazy. I’m happy to report that I quickly
A Match Made in Burgundy
If you’ve ever gone shopping before, you’ve definitely seen an outfit on the mannequin that you know you’d never pick out yourself. You stop in your tracks and observe the outfit and then all of a sudden your talking to yourself: “That is it! That’s what I’ve been searching for even though I wasn’t searching for anything. I must have it all.” Typically these outfits are
2015 In Review
Happy 2016! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and had a fabulous NYE. Me and all 43 of the chocolate chip cookies I’ve eaten enjoyed a little R&R over the past week, and we finished out the year at a friend’s house party in Boston’s North End (and caught the fireworks!). Wow, 2015 was *quite* a year, wasn’t it? I won’t go on a tangent
Gift Guide: Last Minute Gifts for Men
The lights at the end of the Christmas tunnel are getting closer by the minute. Not gonna lie, I’m a little stressed about it. In fact, I’ve only just started my Christmas shopping today. Instead of chalking it up to procrastination, I’m convincing myself that it was strategic move – I was waiting for tax-free shopping in my home state of Delaware. Whether you’re being
Glam Holiday Style
This time of year I’m usually on the hunt for festive holiday outfit for the upcoming party season. In previous years, I’ve been all about the typical red and green with a dash of sparkle. This year, however, I’ve been gravitating towards more luxurious and vintage-inspired items in glam textures and unconventional holiday colors. I popped into my local Macy’s this week and their Bar
Stocking Stuffers Under $50
Now that I’ve finally secured a whopping 48″ Christmas tree for my apartment, I figured it’s time to buckle down and get started on my holiday shopping list. I’m such a procrastinator when it comes to holiday shopping. Kudos to all the organized shoppers out there that get it done on or before Black Friday weekend, because I can’t even fathom the idea until it’s

Seeing Spots in SOREL
Happy December! I think this might be the first time ever that I’m not completely perplexed by how fast time has flown by. I’ve been taking some time for myself over the last month and it’s helped me remain much more present in my day-to-day, so I can definitely say I was mentally prepared for it. It may also have to do with the fact
