I wore this lacey number and my favorite sequinned gold clutch out last week to the Boston Bloggers Holiday Fiesta, hosted by the lovely av of {long distance loving} and Katy of Modly Chic! I had so much fun catching up with some of my blogger gal pals from Rendez-Vous New England this past fall, meeting many new faces and friends, and just celebrating the holidays! And I sure don’t hate an excuse to dress up.

In other news, five days until Christmas…!

PROM

by Leave a Comment

No, I’m not going.  I may look young but believe it or not I am past this time in my life.  BUT my little brother is going to his senior prom this weekend!  One thing I miss about high school is all of the excuses I had to dress shop.  I couldn’t resist keeping my eye open on some semi-formal/formal styles this month, with all of the prom glory in the air.  So just in case you do have an event to attend, here are some of my favorites.  And sorry, but I’ve just always been bias to short dresses– even at prom (see below for the short full skirt–we called it the cupcake dress)!
