Kate Spade Holiday

Posting twice in a day because a) This do-not-miss sale lasts only through the weekend and b) ANNA KENDRICK.

Kate Spade New York very rarely fails to impress me, but they especially knock it out of the park with their holiday collections, this year being no exception. A roundup of some of my favorite pieces to add a little glitz to your season–whether you’re picking up something for the hostess or yourself…!

KSNY is offering 25% off your entire purchase with code BEMERRY, but hurry! Sale ends Sunday at 11:59pm!

Boden on the Go

November 14, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

You all remember my fabulous British friends at Boden? [No? Here’s a Boden dress from last summer!] They just launched the most fun line of activewear and sent me some pieces to try out!

Run Faster Sweatshirt | Run Faster Tee | Run Faster Leggings all c/o Boden

Believe it or not (I know you won’t), I actually DID go for some semblance of a run in my new set. Sososo comfy, and every pieces has those added features you crave– thumb holes in the sweatshirt, concealed zip back pocket in the leggings for your house key, and TONS of stretch.

I first thought the geo print might be a little loud for my style, but after the number of compliments I received wearing the pieces to dance rehearsals last week, I’m now totally inspired to break out fun activewear more often.

I LOVE that this all goes above and beyond in the matching department– even the tee‘s lining is the same fun geometric print! Now I’m tempted to get the sports bra too…

A note on sizing:: This is the US store, so go with your normal US size– no need to convert from British sizing!

Boden is giving my readers 20% off their purchase PLUS free shipping & returns with code YOGA; hurry though– offer expires this Saturday!

Happy Birthday Lilly!

November 10, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

Palm Beach Preppies of the world rejoice– it’s Lilly Pulitzer’s birthday! She would have been 83 today & how lucky are we that her legacy lives on through her juice-splattered prints and sunny state of mind the brand shares every day?

Everyone’s all Lilly-Lilly-Lilly in the summertime, and rightfully so, but there’s nothing like rocking LP brights during the cold, gray wintertime. I tend to think it’s when her legacy is most evident…

Today ONLY, get presents with ALL Lilly purchases– no minimum! Cheers to that + to Miss Lilly 😉

Friday again! You know we’re entering the holiday season when weeks just start to fly by, amiright?

I get to spend all of Saturday with some of my favorite local bloggin’ gals at a mini conference hosted by Boston Bloggers and Wayfair. Can’t wait to see so many familiar faces and meet a ton more of you– who’s attending? And more importantly, what are you all wearing?!

So many of these fun pieces are 40% off right now thanks to Nordstrom’s incredible clear the clearance sale… I’ve been good so far, but it’s getting harder and harder to resist…! What have you picked up from it?

NFL Style, for Play or Playoffs

November 5, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

The NFL Style Lounge team was sweet enough to send me this uh-dorable Patriots sweater that I fell in love with during my visit back in September, and I am smitten. It has certainly been getting a lot of use for game-watching on Sundays, but what I love about so much of this year’s NFL apparel is that it can easily transition into everyday wear [and you know I love me some versatility!].

Here are two ways to wear your Pats gear, in and outside of the stadium… just switch up your bottoms and accessories depending on your team’s colors…!

[ for the office ]

Passblock Sweater c/o NFL Shop | Factory Pleated Mini [similar navy], J.Crew | Pearls, Ralph Lauren | Le Pliage Tote, Longchamp | Riding Boots, Lauren Ralph Lauren [similar]

[ for the game ]

Passblock Sweater c/o NFL Shop | Excursion Quilted Vest, J.Crew [similar] | Jeans, H&M | Sneakers, Converse

Cannot WAIT to pair this with red skinnies for the holidays!

Fall @ Lands’ End

November 4, 2014 by Emily 7 Comments

Youguys. Have you seen Lands’ End lately? It is not the mom jeans and farmer flannel I once associated it with. This is some full-on New Englandy fall goodness. I’m the last person who wants to talk about Starbucks red cups and other holiday things on November 4th, but the plaid! The cozy red sweaters! The Christmas morning PJ sets! Lands’ End’s new arrivals are suddenly making me want start stocking up for holiday wear…

ALL of this is 25% off right now as a part of their Friends & Family sale [use code FAMILY25 and pin 1804!]. I also can’t stop thinking about this baby pink coat for early, chilly spring.

And just look at how much you can monogram… from the bags to this blackwatch scarf I just picked up.

I’m obsessed. And you’re welcome.

post script. In a certain more pink and glittery universe, Kate Spade’s Surprise Sale is still going super strong! Lots of favorites featured, including their new infamous Eat Cake tote.

Let’s Talk About Bras: Intimacy Boston

November 3, 2014 by Emily 3 Comments

TBH, I’ve never cared much about my bras. I buy what’s comfortable, what’s on sale, what looks cleanest under shirts. But then my world was no short of rocked after my first trip to Intimacy Boston recently. SO much more than a lingerie store, Intimacy is a service as well– its bra fit stylists are miracle workers as far as I’m concerned.

Intimacy carries a unique collection of European brands, and man do they care more over there! I must have tried on 20 bras during my fitting and fell in love with every one of them. BEAUTIFUL designs, and they ALL fit my body better than any other bra I’ve ever owned. Even the “plain” ones had the sweetest detailing– tiny polka dots, scalloped straps… having to choose just one was downright awful. And did I mention softest fabrics ever?

Intimacy, which has locations in 12 cities, carries over 90 bra sizes, A through K, so no matter what your shape is, they will have countless options for making you feel amazing.

I really can’t stress enough how eye opening my visit was, and now I know how difficult it will be to attempt bra shopping anywhere else! I’m sure any of you who have been can attest to that.

Boston ladies:: Your Intimacy is located in the Copley mall with THE most lovely staff ever. Everyone else click here to see a list of locations!

Full disclosure: I was provided a complimentary bra set for attending a media event. All opinions expressed are my own, and I 100% plan on shopping at Intimacy again.

Weekend Wear

Happy Halloween gal pals! Preettyy excited for my team costume this weekend, though I have to admit that once I saw Lauren Conrad’s mermaid ensemble, I came close to regretting my choice. If you’re not on her Martha Stewart level though, here’s the lazy-girl version…

Like, how SHELL chic’d is that?! What are you all going as?

HOC Regatta & Ma Petite LuLu

October 29, 2014 by Emily 9 Comments

Oh glorious Head of the Charles Regatta. When all of the preppies come out to play.

This year’s weather was not quite as beautiful as last year’s, but snuggled up along the river with hot sandwiches + cider, we were just fine. This is one of my favorite fall traditions, and this year was no different!

We walked around Harvard Square for a bit after [my out-of-town friends needed their JP Licks fix– all you locals know what I mean] and snapped these photos. I’m so excited(!), especially, to show off my new York Design Co. needlepoint cuff from Ma Petite LuLu— a brand new online boutique, featuring the most adorable accessories for all ages.

Olive Green Field Jacket

I can’t stop thinking about what a perfect Christmas gift these cuffs would make– whether the gal in your life has a flair for nautical, is sporty, or loves stamping her monogram on anything. YCD’s talent doesn’t stop there– Ma Petite LuLu also carries her needlepoint clutches! Plus, they are all handcrafted in the USA, sooo [insert victory hands emoji].

Bonus perks? MPLL offers free shipping and charges a mere $3(!!) for gift wrapping. If you’re looking to order a personalized cuff, be sure to order by THIS Friday, October 31st to absolutely guarantee delivery before Christmas. All other orders should be received by December 12th.

Happy shopping prepsters!
