Happy New Year everyone!!
While I would one day love to brace the crowds and see that glittery ball drop in person, I had a more untraditional New York New Year’s and instead stayed pretty far away from Times Square. But I did have such an incredible time ringing in 2012 with some of my best friends! Here’s a little taste of my night, and as always I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash for an Instagram Link Party— first of the new year!
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I challenged myself to wear something sparkly every day of December until Christmas. Well I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash for an Instagram Link Party today to show off the results from the last 25 days!

Last Thursday was National Cupcake Day, so I stole my friend Shannon from her finals studying/paper writing to indulge in some treats at Sweet. If you are in Boston, run- do not walk- to your nearest Sweet and get your hands on some of these balls of goodness. Like, now.

Etsy and I have become very close lately. I might have gotten a little Paypal-happy on Small Business Saturday and the surrounding week, but I couldn’t be happier with my purchases…
Spike the Punch
If you’re a member of the fashion blogging community, Spike the Punch is probably no stranger to you. These unique hand-painted crystal necklaces have gained popularity so fast that Elizabeth can barely keep them on the shelves! I was lucky to snag this neon yellow and pink one, but I’m dying to get my hands on more color combos soon!

Pomflair
When I first saw tassel garland on Cupcakes and Cashmere, I fell a little bit in love with the idea of a shimmering wall. That’s why I was SO excited to hear about Etsy shop Pomflair who does their own version– much more affordable and customizable with any colors!

bfrend
I want to stack my whole arm in these bfrend bracelets. You know Monika from The Doctor’s Closet, and I guarantee that you will find her jewelry just as fun as her blog. Shown above is the tassel bracelet, but you have got to check out her neon cobra versions as well.
New goal in life? To be the next big Etsy shop. Who knows. Maybe 2012 will grace me with that. But in the meantime, what are some other shops I should check out??
So. much. fun. Linking up with a {little} dash of ash for an Instagram Link Party to share the few photos I was able to capture through the shows this weekend!
Please remind me to never stop dancing. K??
Instagrams from around the city as the holiday gets closer and closer! Linking up with a {little} dash of ash!
These past four days were exactly what I needed. Weekends at our new home are perfectly filled with lots of:
food. drink.
crafting.
sparkle.
seafaring.
and not-too-bad views.
I hope you all had wonderful Thanksgiving weekends full of whatever makes you happy too 🙂 Linking up with a {little} dash of ash with these Instagrams! Happy Monday!
Happy Monday!! Oof and a sleepy Monday it is, as I didn’t get back until pretty late last night from my weekend in New York with one of my oldest friends, kTk!
I have some “real” photo sorting to do before I can give you a full recap, but here’s a little taste of my trip through Instagram photos… enjoy! xx
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Alice’s Tea Cup
Visiting the Lilly Pulitzer on Madison Ave, and trying on the dress from my Friday’s Fancies!
Dylan’s Candy Bar, the most colorful place ever.
Laduree!! I’ve been waiting for a chance to visit the NYC location ever since I first heard it was opening and wrote about it way back when.
While having lunch at Fred’s at Barney’s, we saw this adorable Gossip Girl-esque Sweet 16 taking place next to us.
Dream shopping… 🙂
Raspberry champagne and macarons=a perfect end to a perfect day.
More to come!! And for anyone who follows me on Instagram (emilyshell), I’m so sorry for overflowing your feeds this weekend!
Happy Halloween ladies n’ gents!! I hope you all enjoyed your Halloweekends and that your Monday is still candy- and costume-filled!
I realized this weekend that I love this city because ever since about Thursday, no matter what time of day, no matter where I was, there was always someone in costume. 1 pm bus ride on Saturday? Bumblebee. 5 pm dinner? Mummy. Etc, etc. I admire these people.
Linking up with a {little} dash of ash today to share all these Instagrams! You should too 😉
Another perfect autumn weekend here in New England. I got to spend Saturday with some lovely ladies… pumpkin hunting, apple picking, and sparkle crafting! Full recap to come when I can sort through my 200 photos, but here’s some instagrams to give you a little taste of fall 🙂
Don’t forget to link up today with a {little} dash of ash to share your weekend Instagrams!
