Gold Dots; Navy Stripes

I have nothing worthy to say about this outfit, except to admit that I’ve been wearing it just a bit too often lately. I’m in the midst of a love affair with this vest [see here//here//here if you’ve ever wondered if you’ll get enough use out of a navy + white striped puffer vest] as well as with anything gold, and I apologize that you’ve all had to witness it.

Happy Wednesday mah luvs! Be safe out there in the snow!

Merry Merry!

Not Another Moment Lost to Seizures

November 11, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Today’s outfit post is a little different. I questioned whether or not to share this at all, but I think it serves as a good reminder that behind every cookie-cutter glitter-dipped blog, there is a real person.

For the last 72 hours, I’ve been undergoing an ambulatory EEG, to record brain activity and attempt to shed some light on my epilepsy. I in no way am sharing this for pity, attention, sympathy, or anything of the sort. November is Epilepsy Awareness Month, and I’m sharing this getup to spread the word.

Epilepsy affects 2+ million Americans, and 65 million people worldwide. There is no cure, as of yet. But we’re working on it.

I’ve mentioned my condition here before, and I won’t drone on it. But something quick you can do: Read this Seizure First Aid Guide. 1 in every 10 people will have a seizure in their lifetime. If you witness one, you can make all the difference by following these simple few steps.

Thank you for letting me put this all out there today! In happier news, my sweet scarf [that was so cozy to cuddle up with this weekend] is from Shawlsmith London, and they are offering 25% off a scarf of your choice with code SSL25! Purple is the official color of the Epilepsy Foundation, so I have my eye on this one 🙂

Happy Monday, friends. Here’s to a great week!

Friday Night Lights

September 13, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Every year with fall’s arrival comes the traditional apple picking, cider doughnuts, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, crunchy leaves, and— of course— football. During the autumn I can’t help but be reminded of Friday nights spent in the student section at my old high school, cheering on the Unionville Indians (how is that name even PC anymore?!). I like to think that should I ever return for a Homecoming game, I’ll be dressed a bit better, but still sporting our blue and gold.

[ Cassie Dress, Lilly Pulitzer, $88 ]
[ Monogrammed Hat, Marley Lilly, $25 ]
[ Tortoise Quad Link Collar, BaubleBar, $28 ]
[ Original Packable Tour Rain Boots, Hunter, $140 ]

Do you dress up for football games like those Southern belles, or do you stay comfy with your team’s sweats?

Fresh Florals

June 19, 2013 by Emily 16 Comments

This spring, a few occasions graced me with weekly fresh flowers on my desk, and I got so spoiled by the idea, that I’m now finding it necessary to always keep some there! They really can do a thing or two to brighten up a workspace.

pssst! This dress is now on sale here! Snag it for less than I did!

Anchored Down

April 18, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’m back to posting today because I know we have to at least attempt to return to a sense of normalcy around here. Monday’s events are still first on my mind, and my thoughts and prayers are still with the victims and all affected.

Dress, Jack Wills [similar] // Oxford, Gap [similar] // Sunglasses, Personalized From Me to You // Wrap Bracelet, KJP x Brooks Brothers // Wellies, Hunter

I’m just about done with pants for the year. And tights. Unless they are of a pastel color, pants are out and it’s dresses and skirts with bare legs from here on out. Until they no longer cause extreme goosebumps (seen below), oxfords and lower leg-covering footwear are in.

Ship Wheel Raglan Shirt c/o US Trendy // AG Stevie Polka Dot Pants, Anthroologie [similar 1; 2] // Bracelets, Alex & Ani; Oh Buoy Boston; Kiel James Patrick // Wellies, Hunter

Last month, US Trendy awarded me with the pretty darn fun title of being one of Boston’s 50 Most Fashionable. As if that wasn’t cool enough, they offered to send me some clothes, and–huge shocker– I picked this comfy ship wheel sweatshirt (hey, gotta show off some nautical New England pride right?!).

It’s Black and White

January 25, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

On a daily basis, I try to dress by a certain “live colorfully” motto. Yet even I can’t deny that a black and white ensemble is always classic and chic. A black blazer is a closet staple, and I first got the idea to pair them with white dresses + rainboots from this shot of Reese Witherspoon. The bow headband and tassel purse are my own fun additions 🙂

[Bow Leather Headband, RED Valentino, $104 (other options here + here!)]
[Schoolboy Blazer, J.Crew, $198]
[Legacy Leather Penny Shoulder Purse, Coach, $198]
[Ecote Ruffle Hem Lace Dress, Urban Outfitters, $79]
[Hunter Original, Hunter, $135]
