To SFO We Go

March 4, 2016 by Emily 6 Comments

We’re headed off to San Fran in the morning [thank you all so much for your suggestions!], which means I really should be doing the physical packing rather than virtual right now…

Apart from not leaving it until the last minute, the pretty obvious but often overlooked key to being a good packer is planning outfits ahead of time, to get the most use out of every piece you squeeze in there. Here’s a rough idea of what I’m packing for a 4-day trip out west, but could really serve as a [hopefully helpful!] general spring packing list. Four days, just 13 mix-and-match pieces::

for travel // Structured Striped Sweater | White James Jeans | Sketchstripe Scarf | Keds | Thea Crossbody Bag

for sightseeing // Tie-Front Dress | Jean Jacket | Conch Tassel Earrings | Thea Crossbody Bag | Keds

for cocktails // White James Jeans | Navy Shaylyn Top | Conch Tassel Earrings | Scallop Piper Wedge Sandal | Gold Crossbody Bag

for wine tasting // Delany Shirt Dress| Jean Jacket | Keds | Thea Crossbody Bag

for night // Callista High Collar Shift Dress | Scallop Piper Wedge Sandal | Gold Crossbody Bag

Makes me consider a capsule wardrobe project a little more seriously…!

I’m sure I’ll be ‘gramming the heck out of this trip, so please do follow along on Instagram 😉 #jetsetchicd

AND before I go! Three crazy weekend sales:: 25% off Kate Spade Sale [code YESPLEASE] | 25% off Madewell | 30% off J.Crew Sale | and the HUGE ShopBop Sale continues!

Cloudy with a Chance of Stripes

March 2, 2016 by Emily 3 Comments

This “spring” is like an on-again-off-again boyfriend. Just when you think he’s here to stay, he flakes out. Few days later, he’s blowing up your phone. That poor groundhog was getting some serious mixed signals.

Though I haven’t been able to fully transition my closet for the season yet, I am livin’ on the edge and showing just the tiniest bit of skin whenever the chance presents itself…some slightly cropped jeans here, a peep-toe bootie there…#snowsouttoesout

Only moderately related, I do feel it’s my duty to remind you that Shopbop’s annual Spring Sale is here! If you’re going to treat yourself to any designer pieces you’ve been eyeing, this is the time of year to take the plunge. 15% off $250 // 20% off $500 // 25% off $1,000. Some splurge-worthy favorites::

Smells Like Spring

February 24, 2016 by Emily 6 Comments

Two out of three of my spring purchases [this is #3!] seeing daylight for the first time during last weekend’s glorious sixty-degrees-for-the-win high!

Followed by a winter storm warning for this evening.

I can already tell that this English Factory scallop top + skinny jeans combo is going to be a go-to look this summer, paired with a boyfriend blazer only when absolutely necessary. #sunsoutgunsout

Wacky Weather & Wonderful Weekends

February 17, 2016 by Emily 3 Comments

I feel like this space is turning into a weather blog. Minus the actual predicting of and instead just complaining about. These photos were taken on a February day in which it was hovering around 60 degress. Followed by snow. Followed by wind chills of give-or-take NEGATIVE TWENTY. And as I sit here writing this, it’s 55 degrees and raining with 32mph winds.

I tell ya man. That New England weather.

But in other news, here we are on a happier day in which there wasn’t a coat in sight! The best little morning-turned-into-afternoon stroll around Beacon Hill, complete with Tatte lattes and endless photos of doors.

A Snowy Stroll

February 10, 2016 by Emily 12 Comments

And just like that, our too-good-to-be-true 67-degree January days turned into a weekend-long snowstorm overnight. Only unlike last year, I might have even slightly maybe enjoyed this blizzard just the teeniest tiniest of bits?

I’m sure I will regret saying that as soon as I next refresh weather.com.

But this storm was followed by SUN! We spent the weekend wandering around the neighborhood in our own little Narnia. And by the power vested in it, this holy sun even got me out of my trusty fleece leggings and into real clothes for a minute. I’m getting back to my roots and back into my favorite preppy winter outfits!

Now let’s see how long these real clothes last 🙂

Little Black Scallop Dress

February 4, 2016 by Emily 8 Comments

One of my favorite Valentine’s Days spent with MJF was at Trident. No prix fixe menu, no candlelight. Just panini and some post-dinner book shopping in a little nook on Newbury Street.

…that sounds slightly more romantic now that I type it out. It was casual and I was dressed in yoga pants, I can assure you.

BUT I wouldn’t be a #fashionblogger if I didn’t at least pretend to dress up for a Valentine’s Date Night.

It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with eShakti! Though this black scallop dress caught my eye recently, reminding me of this one from Club Monaco last year. ‘Cept the thing with this brand is, you can customize your purchases. I was drawn to the tiered scallop goodness on its own, but add some cute cap sleeves and bring that hem line up a bit? Oho now.

eShakti Black Scallop Dress c/o [use code shellchicd for 10% off your eShakti purchase until March 4th!] | Lisi Lerch Coco Tassel Earrings | Target Tortoise Sunglasses| Vintage Coach Clutch | H&M Pink Suede Heels [similar]

Whatcha doin’ for Valentine’s Day this year bettys? Do kiss and tell xx

Pantone Color Report :: Peach Echo

January 29, 2016 by Emily 6 Comments

Pantone Peach Echo. Is it coral? Is it orange? Salmon? Admittedly, I think this may be my least favorite of this week’s Pantone Color Report 2016 roundup, but I still can’t say that I hate it {and it does trump some of the others on the full list– just not feeling Buttercup or Green Flash!}. And I LOVE it paired with Serenity actually– swooning over this bridesmaid look in particular!

1 // Smathers & Branson Starfish Needlepoint Key Fob
2 // Essie Tart Deco Nail Polish
3 // Set in Stone Enamel Hinged Bangle
4 // Bed & Breakfast Accent Pillow
5 // Capped Sleeve Playsuit
6 // LC Lauren Conrad Rose Heels
7 // Liliana Open Toe Sandal
8 // Jack Rogers Nantucket Gold Sandals
9 // Joie a la Plage Flip Flop
10 // J.Crew Collection Cashmere Long Sleeve Tee {on sale!}
11 // Kate Spade Initial Notebook
12 // Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B. Tote Mini
13 // Oasis Jacquard Dress
14 // Kent Drop-Waist Dress
15 // Bishop + Young High Neck Crop Tank
16 // Gabby Skye Cap Sleeve Drop Waist Dress

That concludes it! You can find my Serenity + Rose Quartz + Lilac Gray + Snorkel Blue highlights as well. Now tell me– what’s your favorite hue of the season?

Pantone Color Report :: Snorkel Blue

January 28, 2016 by Emily 7 Comments

*image via

Until we asked our groomsmen to pick their own “navy suits” for our wedding last year, I don’t think I quite appreciated how many shades of navy there really are. I love Snorkel Blue for its allure as a perfect “light navy,” closer to blue than black. Pantone calls it “maritime-inspired,” so that’s enough to draw my attention.

1 // Essie Aruba Blue Nail Polish
2 // Silky Navy Tassel Necklace
3 // Had a Fab Day Bag
4 // Eda Drapey Cardigan
5 // Malie Racerback Tank Top
6 // Sheila Pumps
7 // Roadtrip Blue Converse Chuck Taylors
8 // Willa Flats
9 // Suede Juli Wedge
10 // Scalloped Bathing Suit
11 // Anchor Print
12 // Cupcakes and Cashmere Roxbury Jumpsuit
13 // Denim Kimberly Dress
14 // Medieval Blue Leggings
15 // Katie Kime Seeing Spots Pillow
16 // Food For Thought Placemat

Brb hoppin’ on a plane to Santorini now.

Check out Serenity + Rose Quartz + Lilac Gray too!
