It’s been particularly gloomy weather-wise around here lately. I thought this outfit needed some brightening up and what more perfect of a backdrop could I find but this little red house? Reminds me of simpler days 🙂

Windsor [Tea] Castle

Saturday was spent with my sister having high tea in a seaside town in honor of The Royal Wedding. Windsor Tea Shop is possibly the cutest establishment in New England…

You should probably stop by. I recommend the cucumber tea sandwiches + peach tea.

Our Bruins are going for all or nothing tonight in the Stanley Cup Finals!

On my way to a bar for Game 4, I saw some girls going for the “stylish” sports fan look, complete with yellow halter tops, black pencil skirts, and comfy nine-inchers.  I can appreciate the attempt, but a little much if you ask me!  Bars get crowded and fans get crazy at times like this, so I say go for cute, but more so go for comfort!

Summer of Aquarius

Inspiration for these hippie-chic pieces? My celeb friend Kayla looking oh so flower-childish on the cover of the Boston Phoenix‘s Summer Guide!!

Despite the fact that they were born in the 60s, flowy styles adorned with feathers and flowers never really go out of style in my book– especially not in the hot summer.

Here’s my take on Kayla’s covergirl flair, including AE mocs, Free People crochet top and hair clip, and Lucky Brand stash bag.  Click the set for additional product details.

Rain, rain, go away… unless you have these!

Another rainy day in New England, and I am so darn sick of my rain boots.  While hunting for new ones, I came across (with a little help from College Prep), Zoubaby!  I love Hunter boots as much as the next person, but instead of plastering their label all over their products, Zoubaby lets you customize your boots with your own!

Monogramming is free with the purchase of any pair (which run for $89), and is available in four fonts and eight thread colors.  They also offer customized sorority boots:

As sick as I am of rain, these make it  a little easier to deal with!

Now if only I could find a cute raincoat!  Any suggestions?
