Holiday Cheer at Chestnut Hill’s Anthropologie

November 15, 2013 by Emily 11 Comments

I know I personally am never the one to get too excited about red cups and holiday decorations the day after Halloween, but there’s something about walking into an Anthropologie this time of year that really makes me want to get in the spirit early!

Alex and I stopped by the new Chestnut Hill Anthropologie last week for a grand opening celebration, and I was so impressed with their stunning new space and how much they’ve already done to make the store look cheery for the holidays!

[ Monogrammed Mugs, $8 ]

[ Ice Orb Ornament, $8 ]

[ Alex and I were obsessed with this darling Starlit Stripes Dress, $248 ]

[ Wooden Gift Tags, $14 + Good Nature Tin, $16 ]

[ How CUTE?! Who’s Fluffy? Ornament, $8 ]

[ Confetti Striped Pullover, $138 + Sylvan Paisley Scarf, $68 ]

[ Q&A a Day Journal, $17 ]

[ Joyeux Dress, $228 ]

[ Jacinta Holiday Candle, $30 ]

[ Felted Owl Wreath, $68 ]

If I could move into an Anthropologie store for the month of December, I’d be content. Will you be doing any holiday decorating or dressing with their current lines?

pssst! Local ladies, find the new Anthropologie here:

Made in America

October 8, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of American-made goods. So when American Field popped up in the SoWa area a couple weekends ago, you know where I was to be found!

Created by Ball and Buck, American Field is the largest gathering of made-in-the-USA apparel, footwear, and accessories. I saw lots of familiar faces, but also met a number of impressive new brands.

L.L. Bean was a co-sponsor, and since I usually rely on their catalogue, it was so great getting to see so many of their current products in person— and being made right there! They had a seamstress on hand working live on the famous canvas totes.

The Bootmobile even made the trip from Maine!

Vintage ties from General Knot Co.

The fine gentlemen of New England Outerwear were there! So inspired by this company— read my review of their shoes here.

Stunning capes with nautical-inspired details by Ellsworth & Ivey. I’m excited to tell you a lot more about them in a couple weeks, so stay tuned!

I’m a sucker for pretty paper products, so I loved meeting the folks behind Almanac Industries. Their paper, leather, and cloth products are all made by hand in Baltimore.

I’m still such a huge fan of Paxton 1345 boxers. Read my review of them here!

Lots of soft choices from New England Shirt Co., manufactured in Fall River, Mass.

This is hardly even a sampling of all the vendors that were present; just a select few of my favorite booths.

You can vote for the next location of the American Field show on their website, but I definitely have my fingers crossed for Boston again 🙂 So inspiring to see so many quality goods being made over here, and the more we buy from them, the more jobs they can create. #politicaltalkover 🙂

A couple weekends ago, I stopped by Old Navy‘s pop-up shop in Boston’s Faneuil Hall to check out what they had in store [literally] for fall denim and more. Co-sponsored by Refinery29, this was such a fun set-up! I got styled by Kendi Skeen of Kendi Everyday and LA-based stylist Sasha Koziak and was ~~forced~~ excited to get over my fear of mixing light + dark denims with their help!

With the darling Kendi!

[ final outfit details ]
Classic Chambray Shirt, $30
The Rockstar Printed Skinny Jeans, $32.50
Printed Ballet Flats, $16
All items c/o Old Navy

MAC was also there to style us with bold lips— another thing I don’t usually attempt but had such fun with!

You can see I ended up with the Rockstar Jeans, but I am also super excited about the Boyfriend fit! Which will you be sporting this fall?

A week or so ago, I headed down to the South Shore for the opening night party of C.Wonder‘s new’s pop-up store at Hingham’s Derby Street Shoppes. This place makes me want to put on a cute dress and entertain like it’s my job— so much cute clothing, accessories, decor, and serveware!

Eau de Massachusetts

March 25, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Last month, I attended the launch of the United Scents of America’s Massachusetts fragrance launch. How fun is this concept? Founders and scent experts Sasha and Samantha have teamed up to bring you the reminiscent smells of some of your favorite states– in a perfume. They use focus groups to create the scents that aim to bring back memories and embody the aura of said the states. Massachusetts is the newest in the line– which already included California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Hawaii. I think they hit it on the head– a little woodsy, a little salt watery, and with an overall sweetness. It really encapsulates an autumn day in my favorite New England state.

The entire line is proudly made in America and can be purchased online, or in select stores in respective states. Purchase your Massachusetts candle or perfume here, or at Shake the Tree in the North End of Boston– 67 Salem Street, Boston MA 02113.
