Last week we talked spring pastels, but today I’m falling for summer brights. Walking home in the 76 degree heat (at 8 pm!) last week and stopping for gelato made me a little SO excited for all things summery!

Frosting Pink

I love Boston one million times more when the sun is out. The weekend presented an opportunity too good to pass up, so this sleepy girl left her cave for a sunny walk around the neighborhood and a stop for some cupcakes…

Let Them Eat Cake Pops

by Leave a Comment

As a Valentine treat to myself + roomies, I made one of my favorite desserts last weekend, cake pops! I didn’t use a recipe per se, just this video and what’s on the back of a box of Funfetti cake mix 🙂 Highly recommend these sweet little treats.

(step 1) bake cake!

(step 2) crumble cake, mix with frosting [so fun], and mold into balls.

(step 3) dip balls into melted candy melts

(step 4) sparkle with edible glitter!

(step 5) eat up.

post script: Thank you all so much for the darling birthday wishes yesterday!!

I may or may not be a little obsessed with Pinterest. I’m constantly pinning images from all of your adorable blogs, and spending substantial amounts of time going though all of the boards I follow as well. So I love {av}‘s Friday’s Fancies theme today: outfit inspiration. Many of my own OOTDs have in fact come from pin inspiration already! (see here, here, and here).

Here’s one of my favorite pins sitting on my fashion board, and my take on the antiqued pink look:

… for holiday parties!

Linking up with {long distance loving} for a Holiday Party-themed Friday’s Fancies! Thought I’d break away from the traditional red + green + silver looks I usually love at this time of year and instead put together a [dream] outfit around pale pink + shimmer. Yes, I know you’re tired of seeing it, but that Kate Spade book clutch is still number one on my lust-ever-after list. Sorryimnotsorry.

Light & Lace Dress, Anthropologie, $258
Chain Wrapped Drop Earrings, Free People, $298
1837 Cuff, Tiffany & Co., $225
Emma Book Clutch, Kate Spade, $325

Avanessi White Gold Love Ring, Max & Chloe, $350
Gussied Up Heel, ModCloth, $43 

Now if only I had some real occasions to wear this number. Oh, and the money to purchase it 🙂

Happy weekend friends! Hope it’s a good one for you all. I’ll be busy dancing my little heart out!

Think Pink!

Today’s Friday’s Fancies pink theme is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a cause close to my heart, and I’m sure many of yours as well. While looking for some pink inspiration, it only made sense to go to Lilly Pulitzer! I love that many of Lilly’s products’ profits go toward supporting The Breast Cancer Charities of America, every little bit counts!
