You Gotta Regatta: A Double OOTD

Kelly and I have been friends since we were eight years old. We’ve always shared a love of Lilly Pulitzer, so I was far from surprised when she showed up for a visit last week sporting the same You Gotta Regatta print in a skirt that I was wearing in a dress. I’m featuring a double outfit post today since the opportunity was just too good to pass up! Hers a little more tailored and sophisticated, mine a little more free and hippie-esque, I think these looks perfectly describe our personalities, and why we’re best friends.

On EmilyTreena Dress, Lilly Pulitzer // Pearls, J Crew // Crossbody purse, Deux Lux [similar shape; similar color] // Starfish cuff, BaubleBar [similar 1; 2] // Green bangle, vintage [similar] // Charm bracelet, Tiffany & Co // Sandals, Charlotte Russe [similar]

On KellyLynnie Skirt, Lilly Pulitzer // Tank, Lilly Pulitzer [similar] // Jewelry, David Yurman // Watch, Juicy Couture [similar] // Navajo Sandals, Jack Rogers

Do your eyes hurt from all of that bright yet?? Be sure to check out this print in the Georgie, Franko, Delia, Lottie, and Camie Dresses, plus the Callahan Shorts!

The Hamptons

Sixteen plus hours spent in buses and cars this past weekend was no walk in the park, but was more than worth it for a trip to East Hampton, New York to surprise + celebrate one of my best friend’s birthdays. As much as I love New England in the summer, it was a real treat to take a mini vacation to The Hamptons and enjoy some super soft sand, noticeably warmer ocean water, beach bonfires, and of course drinks + laughter with a group of my best college friends.

Weekend trips like these are what constantly keep my motivation up, especially on Mondays! Do you have any planned for this summer?

A Bicoastal Dance Party

I don’t vlog. So this is the closest you’re gonna get to seeing me in action kids.

No but seriously, I might be bias but I do believe one watch of this video will make your day brighter. My friend is a professional editor and I have a little part in her beautiful remake of Call Me Maybe :) And when it goes viral you can say you saw it here first!

Side note: My best friends and I are divided between Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. This is the closest we’ve come come to being in the same place since graduation!

Where the Glass Slipper Always Fits

I don’t care how old I am– Disney World will always be the the most magical place I know. I can’t help but feel inspired when I visit, and even more so on this trip, as I finally got the chance to watch one of my best friends in her element, living her dream as a Disney dancer! Linking up with a {little} dash of ash to share some of my favorite Instagrams from the trip…

NYE in NYC

Happy New Year everyone!!

While I would one day love to brace the crowds and see that glittery ball drop in person, I had a more untraditional New York New Year’s and instead stayed pretty far away from Times Square. But I did have such an incredible time ringing in 2012 with some of my best friends! Here’s a little taste of my night, and as always I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash for an Instagram Link Party– first of the new year!

The Rookie

I probably have the coolest roommate in town.

Meet Kayla. Actress/TV Personality/Reporter/Reality Show-turned-Real Bartender/Fashionista/Bffl.

We had fun playing in the leaves + roaming around the waterfront during the beautiful fall day that was yesterday (can you say 66 degrees in November?) and she let me use her as a photo subject since I’ve finally dusted off my old Nikon.

To see more of the photos, make sure you like Kayla Harrity on Facebook, and if you want a laugh, you have got to check out her show, The Rookie Bartender!

New York City

Finally, some photos from my trip to NYC last week!

Every time I visit New York, I think I begin to see it less and less as a tourist. But I still can’t help but attempt to capture it through a thousand photos! So maybe once a tourist, always a tourist…

Happy Monday!! Oof and a sleepy Monday it is, as I didn’t get back until pretty late last night from my weekend in New York with one of my oldest friends, kTk!

I have some “real” photo sorting to do before I can give you a full recap, but here’s a little taste of my trip through Instagram photos… enjoy! xx

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Alice’s Tea Cup

Visiting the Lilly Pulitzer on Madison Ave, and trying on the dress from my Friday’s Fancies!

Dylan’s Candy Bar, the most colorful place ever.

Laduree!! I’ve been waiting for a chance to visit the NYC location ever since I first heard it was opening and wrote about it way back when.

While having lunch at Fred’s at Barney’s, we saw this adorable Gossip Girl-esque Sweet 16 taking place next to us.

Dream shopping… :)

Raspberry champagne and macarons=a perfect end to a perfect day.

More to come!! And for anyone who follows me on Instagram (emilyshell), I’m so sorry for overflowing your feeds this weekend!
