Yes Way Chambray

April 20, 2017 by Emily 4 Comments

Remember how when 2016 ended we were like PEACE WORST YEAR EVER, and then 2017 came along and was like, hold my beer.

Things could be worse, they absolutely could, and especially on a personal level. But I was thinking this morning, I now have a routine of holding my breath as I bend down to hit snooze every morning, wondering what sickening news alert is going to be sitting on the screen. Hell, even waking up to the Academy Awards “winner” announcement made me cringe.

So, yeah. We’re still living in a preeeettyyy sheety and scary time.

None of this has anything to do with this outfit. On the contrary, this Paper Crown chambray top {those BUTTONS though!!} and navy flutter shorts are giving me life. SHORTS I said, as in these babies are bicycle-friendy and Marilyn Monroe moment-free. Now that, is some positive news.

Anywho, let’s be extra kind to each other this week, k? Lend a smile, write a letter, donate a dollar wherever you can. It takes a village.

Sunny Shoulders and Other Spring Things

April 14, 2017 by Emily 3 Comments

It ffffinally is feeling like spring! And then some. 83-degree forecast for Easter, ok?

Contrary to popular belief my favorite thing about the rise in temps is not #barelegsfordays, but rather being able to just WALK freely outside again. MJF and I love picking a Boston neighborhood and parking ourselves along its streets for a few hours, and that just don’t get done between January and April!! Taking a long walk through Beacon Hill on that first warm day of the year though? Those are the days that remind me just why this city has my heart.

These silly shots—featuring this new Tobi.com chambray off the shoulder dress that I CANNOT get enough of—were taken in a particularly grammable Beacon Hill gem:: Follain. Come for the addicting clean beauty products {high on this clearing mask right now}; stay for the tantalizing decor.

Seas the Day

April 6, 2017 by Emily 5 Comments

If you haven’t caught on yet, MJF and I are a couple of displaced homeowners at the mo’, while a certain one-bathroom house of ours gets its HGTV on. We’re lucky enough to have family nearby to put us up for a couple ~~weeks~~ months during the reno, and while complaining about the commute is my new favorite past time, there really is something to be said for our current whereabouts.

For starters, the view is downright disgusting. We NEVER get pretty sunsets, and all of the fresh seafood in town is way overrated. Nobody likes dockside coffeeshops anyway, or morning strolls through its quiet harbor, or watching the sunrise over the lighthouse. Nautical antique shops are a waste of space, and there are 0 cute houses to look at. This is my sour face every day now:

Splashing into Spring

March 31, 2017 by Emily 5 Comments

It’s ain’t all sunshine and rainbows in the life of a blogger. Especially not one in the Northeast.

When this little corner of the web opened for business {six years ago tomorrow!}, I used to stomp around claiming that I’d never make it in a Pinterest-filled world of West coast fashion bloggers, because my sun-sets-at-4PM home has nothing on their constant-natural-light-thanks-to-16-hours-of-California-sunshine days. But after half a decade of fighting it, I’ve embraced this Boston life of constantly chasing daylight. So when there was a 90% chance of rain on the forecast last weekend, I grabbed my wellies with a smile and spent a morning splish splashing around Beacon Hill with my friend Madeline.

There isn’t a spring dress in my closet {or yours} easier than this new Paper Crown chambray dress with its darling drop waist and back button detailing. It’s a slip-on-and-go piece that looks sophisticated dressed up with beige heels, sweet and relaxed with flats, and—I hope you’ll agree—fun as can be with rain boots!

Four. Days. Till. Christmas.

Say whaaaaaaa.

To be fair, it actually feels like this holiday season has been taking its sweet time. Whereas I skipped fall this year, I started embracing red-cup season November 1st. Our tree has been up longer than ever before, it’s already been a month since my inaugural viewing of Love Actually, and I’m even {ALMOST} starting to grow tired of *NSync Christmas radio.

…Just don’t be fooled into believing I actually have my gift shopping done.

We haven’t found ourselves at too, too many holiday gatherings this year {hashtag old}, but here’s a piece that has accompanied me to every. single. one. Over everything from this tweed top for a work party to this emerald dress at a charity gala. Ellie Kai has such great options when it comes to ‘shmere, and based on how much use I’ve gotten out of this black cashmere cardigan, you can for sureeee believe I’m going to be adding more to my cart.

You can grab my cardi + lots of other holiday gifts at 30% off for just ONE more day {ends 12/21!}. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working in the biz so far, cashmere makes the p-e-r-f-e-c-t gift. Use code HOLIDAY30 at checkout!

Christmas on the Hill

December 14, 2016 by Emily 3 Comments

Sweet lil’ Beacon Hill knows a thing or two about decking the halls. If you’ve ever visited the cobblestone streets on Halloween, you know what I’m talking about. A Beacon Hill Christmas is no different, with garland-wrapped lamp posts straight out of a Harry Potter film and elaborate evergreen wreaths on every colored door. We’ve spent more than one Sunday this month strolling up and down the Hill, and I can’t name one thing that had gotten me more in the holiday spirit than this.

Drop It, Pop It:: Drop-Waist Navy Poplin Florence Dress

December 8, 2016 by Emily 3 Comments

Hey, remember when I used to do outfit posts and stuff? Here’s a real Christmas treat for ya, the ghost of Christmas past thanks to some sweet photography by Madeline, one serious #girlboss. I had so much fun twirlin’ around the South End with her on this very last bare-legs day of the season! This drop-waist navy dress has been in freeequent rotation this fall. As in, I’ve already drycleaned it twice. And I have only been to my drycleaner about four times…ever.

Leaf Me Alone

November 17, 2016 by Emily 2 Comments

I’ll be honest. It took a lot out of me to get up and get dressed from Wednesday on last week. I didn’t think twice about going to work in leggings and Uggs and dirty hair that morning [give me some credit for even getting out of bed, k?].

This outfit was a bit of a lifesaver when I eventually had to face reality over the weekend. Put together, but oh so comfy. The Mint Julep Boutique sent me a couple of these slouchy dolman tunics, and I sh*t you not have been living in them ever since they arrived on my doorstep. On top of being crazy cozy and comfortable, they’re the perfect blank canvas. I know you’re all wondering what the heck to wear with your fashion blogger plaid blanket scarves now that you’ve given in and purchased one. Am I wrong?

Answer:: One of these taupe tunic tops could not match more perfectly.

Oh and, please excuse the terrible faux pas that is the poor shirt’s wrinkles. I wasn’t lying when I said I’ve been living in it. #roughweek

Remember–blank canvas. Shop all of the other colors here!

Gray Days, Pale Legs

November 11, 2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

It’s been a weird week.

I’ve cried a lot of tears. I’ve yelled a lot of things. I still have a lot more to say. For now, I’m not going to do that here. I’m asking you, sweet readers, to grant me this small distraction. I’ve got a comfy fall outfit to share with you.

The election isn’t the only thing that’s been surprising this month. Flip-floppy weather is no stranger to New England, but inching up on 65 degrees in November? Say wha? Bare legs it is, pastiness and all.

Nothing that’s gold can stay though, but I’m just as into pairing this cozy gray sweater dress with tights and boots. $15 and the perfect transition piece = you can’t go wrong.

Also, if you’re looking for a little retail therapy, one of my favorite online retailers is offering 20% off for the weekend which nevereverever happens, so eat it up.

bACK to Sweater Season

September 28, 2016 by Emily 4 Comments

Sigh.

It’s here isn’t it.

Fall.

With only three days until October, I’m finally starting to accept that my sweet, sweet summertime has passed. An apple & pumpkin-themed potluck with some girlfriends helped soften the blow a tiny bit. A new pair of sneaks has too. And the drop in temperatures means I’ve at least been able to pull out this Ellsworth & Ivey Nantucket sweater I picked up on island this summer.

{I’m pretty sure any long-sleeve garment with “Nantucket” stitched across the front is actually meant for summer sunset sails as opposed to wearing in a artificially-lit office but let’s be honest my name isn’t Sarah Vickers so I have to wait until September.}

Off to pick up a pumpkin spice latte I suppose.
