Just popping by on this DISGUSTING bordering-Noreaster day to share one of the cutest partnerships I’ve seen in a while! You remember my Joules wellies? You can now find some select pairs at Target! The most necessary for these wet and silly days…
Union Jack | Navy Floral | Navy Field Welly (in black, olive, & pink too!)
Bumblebee Print | Dog Print
Don’t forget your boot liners!
Target is also offering FREE shipping on everything now, so shop away!
Oh, I’m sorry, you’re confused. You were looking for a guide to surviving winter in the Northeast? Yes well that’s coming, but fall is a creature of its own around here. You may think it’s all foliage and apple cider doughnuts, but it’s also days that range between 40 and 70 degrees. Unexpected biblical-like rain storms. And a lot of property-management-controlled offices and apartments who refuse to turn the heat on until November 1st.
SO! What do we do about it?
[1] Layers-layers-layers. You know those days in which it feels like the temperature drops 15 degrees when you move from the sunny side of the street to the shade?
[ tee | button-up | field jacket ]
[2] Wellies! Really, the best investment for all seasons in New England. Snow + rain + unpredictability [it was pouring the morning I took these photos!] Joules sent me this pair and I am ob-sessed to a silly level. Just look at the darling bow detail! Who better to trust on rain than the Brits though, amiright? Joules has an amazing selection, and while I’m so happy with the pair I have, I’m really digging this horse print…
[3] Big ‘ol totebags. For storing said extra layers + options for inside shoes. And for hiding said apple cider doughnuts.
[4] PGPSL [Poor Girl’s Pumpkin Spice Latte] [not pictured]. Grande blond roast + 2 pumps pumpkin with room. Add the milk and a dash of cinnamon yourself. Half the price biddies! And it works for iced too, since you know Indian Summer could pop out at us anytime now.

Best tips for these super weird weather days?!
So we talked about the fun side of spring earlier this week, but of course with every spring comes days & days of rain as well! These annual April Showers posts are always a good challenge for me though… there’s no escaping the rain, so might as well sport pieces that you’re excited to wear! I always find that makes weather a bit more bearable 🙂

I have nothing worthy to say about this outfit, except to admit that I’ve been wearing it just a bit too often lately. I’m in the midst of a love affair with this vest [see here//here//here if you’ve ever wondered if you’ll get enough use out of a navy + white striped puffer vest] as well as with anything gold, and I apologize that you’ve all had to witness it.
Happy Wednesday mah luvs! Be safe out there in the snow!
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! Taking a few days off around here to enjoy the season, but I will leave you with these fun snapshots from a mini photoshoot little sis and I did… photos by her very talented man Ryan Whitten— check out this guy’s fantastic work!

Every year with fall’s arrival comes the traditional apple picking, cider doughnuts, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, crunchy leaves, and— of course— football. During the autumn I can’t help but be reminded of Friday nights spent in the student section at my old high school, cheering on the Unionville Indians (how is that name even PC anymore?!). I like to think that should I ever return for a Homecoming game, I’ll be dressed a bit better, but still sporting our blue and gold.

Do you dress up for football games like those Southern belles, or do you stay comfy with your team’s sweats?

This spring, a few occasions graced me with weekly fresh flowers on my desk, and I got so spoiled by the idea, that I’m now finding it necessary to always keep some there! They really can do a thing or two to brighten up a workspace.
pssst! This dress is now on sale here! Snag it for less than I did!
I’m back to posting today because I know we have to at least attempt to return to a sense of normalcy around here. Monday’s events are still first on my mind, and my thoughts and prayers are still with the victims and all affected.

I’m just about done with pants for the year. And tights. Unless they are of a pastel color, pants are out and it’s dresses and skirts with bare legs from here on out. Until they no longer cause extreme goosebumps (seen below), oxfords and lower leg-covering footwear are in.
April greeted us with a beautiful sunny morning yesterday… and then a thunderstorm. April Showers are here, so time to gear up and make the rain a little more bearable!

What are your go-to rainy-day items?
Ship Wheel Raglan Shirt c/o US Trendy // AG Stevie Polka Dot Pants, Anthroologie [similar 1; 2] // Bracelets, Alex & Ani; Oh Buoy Boston; Kiel James Patrick // Wellies, Hunter
Last month, US Trendy awarded me with the pretty darn fun title of being one of Boston’s 50 Most Fashionable. As if that wasn’t cool enough, they offered to send me some clothes, and–huge shocker– I picked this comfy ship wheel sweatshirt (hey, gotta show off some nautical New England pride right?!).
