Weekend Wear

Off to our 4th wedding of the year tonight…!

People seem to be pitying us lately. “Oh, ANOTHER wedding?” And why yes they DO get expensive, but getting dressed up, savoring a steak dinner, and dancing the night away while celebrating two of your favorite friends’ love? Fine by me.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public TODAY, so it’s the perfect time to grab a dress or two for all of your own upcoming weddings! Love this scalloped LBD and this gorgeous keyhole sheath in navy or green if you have any to attend to this fall. I say brights for summer though::

Pajama Pants + The Dressing Room Diaries

by 4 Comments

Floral Beach PantsThese pants you guys. I’ve had a lot of treasured articles of clothing in my time, but these pants (a Kohl’s find, mind you) are battling for the title of comfiest thing I’ve ever owned. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to snazz them up with heels and a tighter-fitting top, but instead they have become my new favorite beach/travel/lounge pant.

White Eyelet Lace BlouseAnd let me tell you ’bout this top! This. This is the sign of victory. The remnants of a Sunday morning spent in battle at Lilly for Target, in which I literally had to haggle IN THE DRESSING ROOM with an angry mother whose cart looked like this.

But so worth it.

SHELL Chic’d

Lilly Pulitzer Shell Dress

The instant I spotted this little Lilly number, I knew it meant it was time to start saving my pennies. Because a literal scalloped SHELL trim? Do you need additional explanation?

I was lucky enough to catch it on sale at In the Pink at the end of August and finally pulled it out for a late-summer wedding this past weekend. Paired it with my favorite GiGi New York clutch because I am all about shades of hydrangea blue + lavender lately [in case you haven’t noticed from the new blog look!].

Apologies in advance for the number of times you’ll most likely see me wearing this shift… #nevertakingitoff

Macaron Inspired

In typical cliche blogger fashion, I have a severe addiction to French macarons. I’ve spent the 7 years I’ve lived in Boston trying to hunt down one as good as Ladurée‘s, and only now have I found it in the new Cameo Macaron food truck!

Cameo Macaron Boston

Founder Kinesha Goldson, a Northeastern grad who studied abroad in Paris, is quite possibly the cutest human ever + my new personal hero for finally making authentic macarons easily accessible and affordable outside of France and NYC. I love Trader Joe’s frozen version as much as the next person, but I mean….

I unintentionally rocked some appropriately bright colors visiting the truck the other week. I think these would be Black Currant // Wild Raspberry // Passion Fruit??

The truck rotates between Northeastern, Back Bay, Financial District, and the Pru– click here for the full schedule.

And the rest of the candy-coated look…!
