September 6th marked Fashion’s Night Out in cities all across the country and all over the world. I was so impressed with Boston’s participation– for only being our second year hosting, the city really went all out. I took on Newbury Street for the night. Shopping, spending, and sipping ensued.

I am so excited to be sharing one of the best kept shopping secrets in Boston today– Savas Studios!

Owned by sisters Christine and Steph Savas (multitalented makeup artist/photographer/overall fashionistas), they carry a number of local designers (which I LOVE + appreciate), plus ones from California, New York, London… and you all know how I feel about British fashion.

Really funky + feminine + fun, this shop has awesome price points and I really cannot get enough of it. So Boston friends get over there soon and everyone else, get entering!

One winner will receive this ring + bracelet set and 50% off their next purchase at Savas Studios. Even if you are not local, you can pick out an item from online and they will ship!

New York City

Finally, some photos from my trip to NYC last week!

Every time I visit New York, I think I begin to see it less and less as a tourist. But I still can’t help but attempt to capture it through a thousand photos! So maybe once a tourist, always a tourist…

Happy Monday!! Oof and a sleepy Monday it is, as I didn’t get back until pretty late last night from my weekend in New York with one of my oldest friends, kTk!

I have some “real” photo sorting to do before I can give you a full recap, but here’s a little taste of my trip through Instagram photos… enjoy! xx

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Alice’s Tea Cup

Visiting the Lilly Pulitzer on Madison Ave, and trying on the dress from my Friday’s Fancies!

Dylan’s Candy Bar, the most colorful place ever.

Laduree!! I’ve been waiting for a chance to visit the NYC location ever since I first heard it was opening and wrote about it way back when.

While having lunch at Fred’s at Barney’s, we saw this adorable Gossip Girl-esque Sweet 16 taking place next to us.

Dream shopping… 🙂

Raspberry champagne and macarons=a perfect end to a perfect day.

More to come!! And for anyone who follows me on Instagram (emilyshell), I’m so sorry for overflowing your feeds this weekend!

r-v-n-e recap!

What a fabulous weekend at rendez-vous new england! Hosted by the lovely ladies AV of Long Distance Loving and Jillian of Cornflake Dreams, this was my first blogger meet-up and I don’t think I could have had more fun! It was wonderful meeting so many new friends, especially ones whose blogs I already follow– so great putting a real-life face to the name! And of course finding new blogs is always a huge highlight for me 🙂

All in all, it was perfect. Can’t wait to meet up with all of these ladies again! Here are some of the highlights of the events… thank you Instagram for making capturing so easy!

Gummi Bear Martinis at The Charlesmark Hotel and Lounge

Martinis with Kate of Suburban Sweetheart!

BEAUTIFUL earrings I won from Stella Jewelry. Pearls and sparkle? I am so there.

With the fabulous {av}– what a host!

So sweet

Button table at Grey’s Fabric & Notions. Oh my goodness. I want to live in this store. More about them and the SoWa market in a later post…!

FINALLY got myself some Roxy’s Grilled Cheese! I’ve been trying to find myself in the same location as this food truck for months. Completely lived up to my expectations 🙂

Sparkly end to an amazing weekend.

So SO many thanks to AV and Jillian for putting this together, as well as all of the awesome sponsors! Our goodie bags=heaven. Can’t wait to do this again!!

And I’m linking up with Miss a {little} dash of ash again today for another Monday Instagram Link Party 🙂
