There are a number of stereotypes that circle the Boston nightlife scene, but overall, I think it’s a pretty fun city to go out in. My favorite time to hit the town though? Call me a grandma, but it’s totally happy hour.
I love pieces that can take me from the office to the bar, and a chic tee + blazer are staples for such. I paired these with skinny jeans and flats during the work day, but then added some fun lace shorts and heels once 5pm hit.

My favorite places to happy hour? The Charlesmark for cocktails | Tia’s and Boston Sail Loft for boozing by the water | Legal Harborside‘s roof deck for beautiful sights | and City Bar for drinks than can easily turn to dinner!
I hope all of you here on #DestinationSummer had a blast checking out greater Boston with me this week! Next stop? New York City!
Today I pass the torch off to Vera from Lady and the Blog— I’m SO excited to see the big apple through her eyes. Some of my best friends from college live in NYC, and I’m always looking for new areas of the city to explore when I go down to visit them. Enjoy the ride there you all!

Loving the black blazer/shorts/sandals mix. Great idea for a sophisticated yet fun outfit. And hey, never underestimate a well deserved after work drink 😉
Loving the shoes and shorts. Classy!

LOVE wearing shorts out instead of a dress or skirt! Adds a whole lot of sass, but is still classy (especially when they’re lace shorts!).
Amazing shoes!!!
Love the lace detail!
