You know what? Life is short. Too short to not wear sequins + glitter mary-janes + big bows during the daytime. And that’s what I think about that.
It’s spring cleaning time in this girl’s closet! I’m selling a couple pieces I haven’t gotten enough use out of on a great new site, ShopLocket.com. I can’t tell you how easy it was to list this dress and these vintage handbags— now let’s just hope they sell just as quickly 🙂

I cannot think of a better spring jacket than a white or cream lace blazer. A little boho, a little romantic, and very chic + feminine, these have jumped to the top of my wishlist…!

How would you wear a lace blazer?

The wind was howling so hard at my parents house the other night that I could hardly sleep. Thought it was a good excuse to pull out my new Bling My Chimes murfee from the one and only Lilly. Other than the loud wind though, a beautiful day as you can see! Countdown till spring anyone??

I wore this lacey number and my favorite sequinned gold clutch out last week to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta, hosted by the lovely av of {long distance loving} and Katy of Modly Chic! I had so much fun catching up with some of my blogger gal pals from Rendez-Vous New England this past fall, meeting many new faces and friends, and just celebrating the holidays! And I sure don’t hate an excuse to dress up.
In other news, five days until Christmas…!

Turtle belt, Urban Outfitters
Earrings, Urban Outfitters
Locket, CatBird
Bracelets, vintage
Sandals, Guess
I’m holding on to these last few days of warm{ish} weather still and am refusing to wear pants until I absolutely have to! But I do figure it’s at least time to start embracing fall colors, and I love the neutrals and browns in this outfit I wore to SoWa during rendez-vous new england last weekend.
Also, that turtle belt? Blogged about it months ago here, and just recently found it at the bottom of an Urban Outfitters sale bin! #goodday
I legitimately still get butterflies in my stomach thinking about The Royal Wedding. Even from thousands of miles away and through the tube, it was such a magical event to watch. And Princess Kate is quickly becoming my style icon…!
As you’ve probably heard, The Duchess of Cambridge’s gown and accessories are now on display at Buckingham Palace through October 3. This exhibit is giving us a much closer look at the Alexander McQueen lace shoes from the wedding that were quite difficult to get a good glimpse of under the gown.
So far, it’s pretty clear to see from today’s Tuesday Shoesday look at Zappos that Kate has done it again. The next trend? Lace heels. No wedding needed.
Well, we did it! On Monday , Emerson College’s Class of 2011 graduated at Boston’s Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theater. It was a long day and an even longer senior week leading up to it, but so much fun and full of so many great memories (cliche much?).
As promised, here’s a fashion recap of my roommate’s commencement dresses:
Corey Jane in Urban Outfitters
Britt in Urban Outfitters
Amanda in White House Black Market
Natasha in J Crew
Samantha in Free People
Demetra in Anthropologie
Me in American Apparel
Talia in Urban Outfitters
Steph in Banana Republic
Such a wide range of tastes. Not. 🙂
It hasn’t even been a week and yet I miss all of my friends already. Some are flying back to LA, some starting life in New York City, others moving into grad school. I’m so proud of each and every one of them and am so excited for what they are all about to experience!
Have you attended any graduations this month?
Ok ok, so I know it’s not Memorial Day yet, but I just can’t get this white dress out of my head! No exaggerations, I actually had a dream about it last night (#obsessed).
Reeve Dress Lace, Lilly Pulitzer, $368
And Lilly’s marketing team sure knows what they’re doing because pairing this dress with the dark-rimmed glasses in the catalogue is what I think really caught my eye. Gives it a very cute and casual appeal, like you could get away with wearing it to class. There is also a three-quarter sleeve version if you’re stuck in New England like me without any hope of the temperature ever rising above 60!
And because white dresses are a summer staple, even Lilly’s polar opposite, Urban Outfitters, has a lookalike! This one’s also a little easier on the wallet.
Pins and Needles 3/4 Sleeve Lace Dress, Urban Outfitters, $79
