Along Came Spring

March 22, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

But it sure doesn’t feel like it!

Still, I’m working on prepping my closet for the day it actually arrives. Here’s just about everything I’m wishing for this spring, whenever it may arrive!

[ 1 ] Goreski Glasses Bangle (Kate Spade, $78):: Because, why not?

[ 2 ] Trench (Target, $60 ):: I do love the London Sole trench I have, but I’m looking for a cropped, lighter version for spring. With Target’s price tags, you can’t really go wrong.

[ 3 ] Tote (Vineyard Vines, $95):: My work year begins June 1st as opposed to January 1st, and I have a handful of vacation days I’m looking to use up before June hits. This classic Vineyard Vines tote would be just perfect for long weekend trips around New England.

[ 4 ] Anorak (J.Crew, $138):: Lets face it. It’s New England. I’m going to take those weekend trips to the beach and it’s going to rain on me. This J.Crew number is the perfect spring/summer rain jacket.

[ 5 ] Polka dot dress (Topshop, $76):: No explanation. Just can’t get over how cute these are this season!

[ 6 ] Floral pants (Lilly Pulitzer, $168):: Because clearly it is not dress/skirt/shorts weather yet and I need some way to convince my wardrobe it’s spring!

[ 7 ] Vickers Bow (Kiel James Patrick, $58):: How adorable and springy are these new additions to the KJP line? Love the Nantucket Regatta print!

[ 8 ] Anchor Buckle Belt (ASOS, $25):: The perfect addition to spring shorts!

[ 9 ] Brogues (Jack Wills, $298):: Have you taken a look at any Jack Wills catalogue, ever? These shoes apparently go with literally everything, and I am all for versatile splurges.

[ 10 ] Monograms (BaubleBar, $110):: These aren’t spring-related, I just still can’t help lusting over BaubleBar’s monogram necklaces so they remain on my wish list!

What are you wishing for this spring?

Put a tie on it

Striped shirt, Forever21 [similar] // Skirt, Forever21 [similar] // Belt, Jos A. Bank [similar 1; 2] // Pearls, vintage // Watch, Urban Outfitters // Bracelets, mishmash, comment for details! // Purse, Jesslyn Blake [similar] // Brogues, ASOS [similar]

Outfit inspiration here is totally jacked from girlsack, and I’ve even attempted to put it together once before here. I just could not get over how cute the idea of a belt-as-bow was. Plus any excuse to wear a lace skirt and navy and white stripes? I’m there.

Which is your favorite? Have you tried on the collection yet?

Saint Patrick Green

March 15, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Just like red and pink on St. Valentine’s Day, even at my age I can’t help but get into the spirit and wear green on St. Patrick’s Day. This springy look would have been more appropriate on last year’s St. Patty’s Day (hello 72 degrees and sunny!), but I can guarantee you even if it hits above 50 this year, I’ll be excited enough to rock a sundress.

[ Tabitha Dress, Lilly Pulitzer, $378 ]
[ Stroke of Luck Idiom Bangle, Kate Spade, $32 ]
[ Gold Wishbone Pendant, BaubleBar, $24 ]
[ Four Leaf Clover Bangle, Alex and Ani, $28]
[ Wedges, Gabriella Rocha, $63 ]

[ Dresses l-r ]
[ Posey, $238 // Antonia, $198 // Freja, $278 ]

Ahoy!

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?!).

JW Spring ’13

New England is resisting spring harder than ever this year. You know who else understands that? England. That’s why I love turning to British brand Jack Wills‘ catalogue for style inspiration– they seem to get that spring doesn’t necessarily mean bikinis and flip flops. Check out some of my favorite current items– shorts and skirts to look forward to, and cozy jumpers and brogues for right now!

(1) Aldcliffe Crew, $118
(2) Porchfield Dress, $89.50
(3) Fairbank Culotte, $79.50
(4) Newnham Side Bag, $298
(5) Alburgh Breton Tee, $49.50
(6) Maybury Skirt, $79.50
(7) Glenthorne Brogue, $298
(8) Ibsley Tote, $39.50

Are you experiencing warm weather where you are yet, or is your spring still rainy and chilly like mine and England’s?

She lives every day like it’s a celebration

With my birthday coming up this week, I have party dresses on my mind! Lilly‘s spring collection has hit stores, and how I wish I could be rocking one of these to celebrate!

Dresses l-r
[ Rylan, $278 ]
[ MarieKate, $378 ]
[ Joslin, $298 ]

[ Picture Perfect Wedge, $198 ]
[ Party Crossbody, $98 ]
[ Resort Chic Wedge Glitter, $228 ]

Alas, there’s still a bit too much snow on the ground, so I’m guessing my birthday dress will cover a little more and be a little more closed-toe, but rest assured I’ll still be sticking to the Lilly mantra life’s a party // dress like it 🙂
