Nantucket Basket Purse

June 24, 2015 by Emily 6 Comments

Know what I love about New England? Even our purses here have a rich history. World, meet the Nantucket Basket. These sweet babies have been around for 150 years, when lightship workers would weave them to pass their time aboard whaling ships. They’ve been known as Nantucket Lightship Baskets, Nantucket Friendship Baskets, whatever they’re called, they’re a symbol of the island. Class dismissed.

This purse has been passed around my family, a gift from my mother to my grandmother and then back down to me, and it’s one of those quick-there’s-a-fire-what-items-do-you-save most treasured possessions of mine. #cheese

Romper Season

June 17, 2015 by Emily 11 Comments

A white romper may be one of the most impractical articles of clothing to have ever graced my closet, but I’ve been on the hunt for one since this one sold out and this one looked like a giant diaper on me [but oh my god if you can rock this please do so I can live vicariously through you]. Then I finally found the golden ticket! I’ve had such fun dressing it up with heels and statement jewelry, but also down with sandals and cozy cardis. One of those great day–>night pieces, amirite? Not that you’ll catch me wearing this in the office anytime soon.

Pssst! It’s also 30% off today with code GOSHOPPING!

Navy White Dot Dress

This is me wearing a tunic that I didn’t know was a tunic and wondering why it is so short on me. Thank you, 5’1″ Anthropologie sales associates for seriously fooling me. I actually don’t hate you because this ~~dress~~ tunic is that damn cute.

I regret nothing.

Pajama Pants + The Dressing Room Diaries

June 3, 2015 by Emily 4 Comments

These pants you guys. I’ve had a lot of treasured articles of clothing in my time, but these pants (a Kohl’s find, mind you) are battling for the title of comfiest thing I’ve ever owned. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to snazz them up with heels and a tighter-fitting top, but instead they have become my new favorite beach/travel/lounge pant.

And let me tell you ’bout this top! This. This is the sign of victory. The remnants of a Sunday morning spent in battle at Lilly for Target, in which I literally had to haggle IN THE DRESSING ROOM with an angry mother whose cart looked like this.

But so worth it.

I missed you.

May 20, 2015 by Emily 4 Comments

Hey gals. Thanks for sticking with me in this month of on-and-off radio silence. More like year. I’ve been a bad blogger and an even worse blog friend. We have had the best few weeks but I am just a liiiittle bit glad to return to normalcy and get back into our routine, minus wedding planning and house hunting // plus extra bling on my finger.

So here’s a lazy-day outfit post. Because nothing says welcome, Memorial Day Weekend, like a t-shirt with some French gibberish on it.

(And nothing says fashion blogger like dirty Chucks and elastic-waist beach shorts.)

Blazer, H&M [similar] | Tee, J.Crew [similar 1; 2] | Boardwalk Pull-On Shorts, J.Crew | Straw Tote, Old Navy [similar] | Sneakers, Converse

I promise my sense of creativity may be restored one day soon.

Four Years.

April 8, 2015 by Emily Leave a Comment

This little bloggity o’ mine turned 4 years old last week. If BF hadn’t asked me to marry him, that means mine + the blog’s relationship would have been the longest I’d ever had. Pause for giggles.

Because I can’t resist a good reflection post, let’s chat about four things around here… where we’ve been and where I hope to take them.

Style // It’s no surprise that I love working with local brands and businesses. This year I was introduced to Cinder + Salt, k.m. hutton, Vineyard Prep, Brittany Lauren Design, Hollis Hayes, and White Mountain. I’ve especially enjoyed working with the ladies of Boutikey— a local company that also supports local boutiques!

But mostly, I hope to continue embracing and sharing the real New England-ness and seasonality of my current and dream wardrobe. Anyone and their mother can start a style blog these days; I’m here because when it’s 6-degrees and snowing out, I want to help inspire you to get dressed in something more than sweatpants. And if you’re going to wear cozy flannel, dangit I want that flannel to have a purpose and be more than a lazy-day staple!

Travel // I’m no Julia Engel [really, someone tells me how her life works?]. Day trips are my thing, and I can’t wait to bring you more of those this summer and fall.

Entertaining // This is new! Now that I’m out of my adorable-but-dinky post-grad apartment, we have begun to entertain more, and I promise to share more bits and pieces of that around here.

Shoes // 32 pairs OOTD’d here over the last year, give or take. I’ve got my party shoes on today to celebrate shell chic’d’s birthday– the latest in the Keds x Kate Spade spring collection! How cute are the ladybug ones too?

Scalloped Shirt, Vineyard Vines [similar] | Polka Dot Skirt, SheInside [altered shorter anddd I wore this in a dance show #funfact] | Army Candy Bracelet, Kate Spade [similar] | Piper Sunglasses c/o Warby Parker | Kate Spade Champion Love Sneakers c/o Keds

Real talk: Experienced an unfortunate number of Monroe moments this day and yes my top sure did come untucked! Bubble-waisted is so in right now.

Can I ask you something? What do YOU want to see more of around here? xo

Fairytale Separates

April 1, 2015 by Emily 6 Comments

I didn’t do much planning when I first got engaged, but I did jump on ordering some bridesmaid dresses within a couple months. While I still love them and am not regretting said decision at all, I have been smitten with some of the unique bridesmaid ideas I have come across since… from mixed blush tones to bold prints, but especially skirts as opposed to dresses [see here + here + here!].

End of story, as I’m not switching things up on my gals now, but the whole separates thing is on my mind these days, and I’ve been playing with the idea of styling them for formal events, instead of yet another cocktail dress. We can also thank Sarah Hyland circa Emmys 2014 for this.

Boxy Eyelash Lace Top, Forever 21 | Pleated Midi Skirt, Forever 21 | Locket, Catbird [similar] | Earrings c/o Rocksbox [use code shellchicdxoxo for a month of free Rocksbox!] | Cedar Street Mini Maise, Kate Spade | Black Heels, LC Lauren Conrad

Would you try this trend, or rather play it safe?
