Blazers and sundresses are kind of my new favorite thing. Since I am just done wearing pants [considering it is May and should be averaging 73 degrees instead of 55], I’m forced to stay bundled up on top.
Anyone else struggling with this “spring” weather??
One of my favorite things about visiting my parents’ house is rediscovering old treasures that have been hiding in the attic or back of my closet. Most recent find? Plastic Kate Spade heels.

This pullover was actually the best investment ever. Anthropologie really should have warned me to get one in every color, because they are the perfect fix to these strange spring Mother-Nature-Can’t-Make-Up-Her-Mind days.

Meet my new favorite skirt. It comes from an adorable little boutique in Chicago called Dress Up. How’d I get it from Boston? Meet my new favorite site, Shoptiques.
I love shopping in small boutiques– it’s refreshing to wear something that isn’t from H&M or Zara or wherever else everyone is shopping. Shoptiques.com brings all those tiny little boutiques [that you visited on that one trip to that one city that one time] online, and lets you shop from wherever you are.
Started last year by Olga Vidisheva, a Harvard Business grad, this site is revolutionary in that it lets you discover and explore amazing little shops in all sorts of different neighborhoods, from The Hamptons to Miami. I met Olga a couples years ago at a Boston Boutique Week event and was so impressed with everything she has done in the fashion world– such an inspiration!
Bottom line: get shopping on Shoptiques stat!!

I am getting super excited about The Carrie Diaries upcoming TV show, if for nothing else than the fashion! I think AnnaSophia Robb is just adorable and, at least from the few pre-production photos I’ve seen, is really fitting the part. Young Carrie’s style may not be a look I can rock every day, but it sure is fun playing dress up sometimes!
What do you think– are you excited about The Carrie Diaries or do you fear it will ruin the allure of Sex and the City?

I bought this Sibyl Vane purse years ago when my family visited Argentina. Only recently did I realize it matched perfectly with not only my bright minty heels, but also this florette necklace from a darling little Etsy shop.
What do you think– too much?
My little blog has turned one!
Hard to believe I’ve been at this for a year, but I guess time flies when you’re havin’ fun! I can’t thank each and every one of you enough for supporting this tiny little corner of the web of mine… you have no idea how much each sweet comment, tweet, whatever it may be, means to me! Blogging has really become sort of therapeutic to me, and I’m so grateful for all of the inspiration I find in this world, and for all of the people I have met through it.

Here’s the thing about New England.
(and many other chilly climates, I imagine)
When spring arrives, we appreciate it so much more than most people I know would. It’s honestly like a ray of hope. While my friends in Los Angeles put on their winter coats at 60 degrees, 60 degrees in Boston brings out sundress and flip flops. So imagine the excitement of the population around here when it hit above 80 last week. EIGHTY. As in beach weather. In mid-March. I don’t care how pale I am, I needed to show some skin for this occasion.
