Apparently all I wear on the blog these days are white dresses. I’ve gotten so much use out of this one (also seen here), but my favorite thing to dress it up with is delicate pink accessories– like this adorable Spike the Punch necklace designed with Pretty Shiny Sparkly!

I am so excited + humbled to be featured on not one but two fabulous blogs today as a part of a fabulous new feature, Nine to Five!
Alex of the saga of a twenty-something and Shannon of the scribble pad have teamed up to bring you this new series set to inspire women of the working world. You can check out one of my go-to work looks over on Shannon’s blog, and read a little interview with me about work + style on Alex’s blog!
I do hope you enjoy, and thanks so much to these two lovely ladies for featuring me!
To the daddy who teaches me something new every day, who works harder than anyone I know for the well being and happiness of our family, who can lift my spirits after the worst of times with a one-line email…
[oh, and who volunteered his day to install my air conditioning]
Happy Father’s Day Daddy. You deserve it and so much more.

The second I stumbled upon this lovely shot of Miss Gwyneth, I started spearheading a mission to remake her subtly nautical outfit. I honestly will be surprised if I can make it until the end of the day without buying a pair of navy polka dot shorts like these ones from ModCloth…

This is only the second maxi dress I’ve ever owned, but now I’m pretty sure that once you go max, you never go back, and I want to stock my entire closest with them! The light airy fabric made me believe I belonged on the Greek isles… rather than humid Texas where I happened to be…
Check out some of the other maxi dresses I’m craving this season!

Hope to see you all there! Personally, I’m the most excited for the 90+ prosecco and Velata chocolate warmers… 🙂

Pink and green flats with flamingo appliques on them? I just could not resist. I love the easy-goes-it early summer feel to this outfit… when you can get away with wearing shorts but still need another layer somewhere else! I could happily wear a version of this every night this summer… maybe with this version of the flats next time?
I’m straying far from fashion + style today, but only because my heart is so full.
When I graduated from college, I was terrified that dance would become a thing of my past. Wrong as usual. I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing group of people in DanceWorks Boston. A week in the theater this season felt like eternity, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way and couldn’t be prouder of the show we just put on.
I always hear people say that they “used to dance.” Guys and gals, it doesn’t have to be a used to if you don’t want it to be.
