[Old] Navy Nautical

February 21, 2014 by Emily 12 Comments

I stopped in Old Navy for the first time in a while the other week during my Middlesex Commons Instagram takeover, and was floored by how many great nautical pieces they had received for spring! I hate to say it, but I’ve seen Old Navy tack-ify [that’s a word] a few trends in the past, so I was especially pleased to see a ton of very tasteful, simple takes on seaside style.

Fresh Florals

June 19, 2013 by Emily 16 Comments

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!

Tortoise and the Hair

June 5, 2013 by Emily 22 Comments

I was most definitely that 14-year-old growing up who did not want glasses that blended in, but rather was all for showing off my lack of 20-20 vision with some dark, cat eye frames. I’ve been sticking to black-rimmed glasses ever since, but at the new Warby Parker store in Boston [see yesterday’s post for the review!], I took the plunge and tried on a handful of tortoise pairs. I fell in l-o-v-e with this Ainsworth style, and again, am a little too happy I have been blessed with less-than-perfect eyesight!

psst! I was featured as a Modern Style Icon on The StyleUp blog this week! Have you all subscribed to StyleUp yet? It’s a free daily newsletter that provides you with the forecast and one inspiration outfit that matches the weather and is catered to your taste. I get mine delivered at 9pm the night before, so I have time to think about and plan my outfit for the next day! Loving it so far– read my interview to hear exactly why!

Harbor Walk

June 3, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

In the summers when I was young, we would take the ferry from the South Shore to Boston, for a day in the city. Maybe because these were my first views of The Bean, the harbor/waterfront area will always be what I most associate with Boston, and will always be my favorite place in this town of ours. These are some snapshots from a quiet morning walk a few weeks ago, before the summer tourists began pouring in…

[50 Shades of] Gray Days

Finally we have some sun + heat on our forecast for this week, because spring has been pretty gray, wet, and windy lately! Normally I’m all for vinbrant colors and prints to brighten up dreary days, but this particular one had me matching the weather…

Show Your AOS

Jacket, Old Navy [similar] // Olivia Skinny Jeans c/o Articles of Society // Party Crossbody Purse, Lilly Pulitzer // Bracelets [ask!] // Resort Chic Wedges, Lilly Pulitzer

There’s a little saying around this part of the country:: if you don’t like the weather in New England, wait a minute.

And nothing has ever been more accurate. One day we’re pushing 80, the next I’m back to layers and pants. Articles of Society sent me these bee-yoo-tiful coral skinnies recently, and they have been the perfect addition to my spring closet– for days when the temps don’t exactly feel like warm spring.

How fun is all that pink? I’m also so tempted by the same pair in mint and this light-wash sky blue.

Have a pair already, or ready to purchase? Articles of Society is currently running an Instagram contest– tag photos of your favorite pair of AOS jeans with the hashtag #ShowYourAOS for a chance to be featured on their blog and win a free pair! Deets below:

Easy Weekend Wear

May 10, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

I tend to go through a few casual-weekend uniforms a year, depending on the season. In early spring, I’m all about showing some leg + even open toes, while staying warm in the breeze with layers on top. I don’t think it’s possible to own too many comfy high-waisted skirts, and I have been living in my denim jacket this month!

[ Well Balanced Sweater, Sugarhill Boutique, $75 ]
[ Linen-Cotton Mini, J.Crew Factory, $50 ]
[ Faux Leather Mid-Wedges, Old Navy, $30 ]
[ The Jean Jacket, Madewell, $94.50 (sale!) ]
[ The Lovelock Minibag, Madewell, $98 (sale!) ]
[ Carousel Bangle, Kate Spade, $250 ]
[ Barrington Spinnaker Bracelet, Kiel James Patrick, $38 ]

What’s your go-to weekend look?

Getting Down and Derby

May 6, 2013 by Emily 16 Comments

We may be more seashells than Southern belles, but still had tons of fun sipping raspberry-infused juleps and celebrating the 139th Kentucky Derby! Did you don derby hats or sombreros during this beautiful spring weekend?

…Bring May Flowers

May 3, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

The Derby just seems like the best place to break out those May flowers that April showers brought us, no? This weekend, bust out the floral frocks and celebrate the arrival of spring with an icy mint julep!

[ Cherry Chiffon Dress, BB Dakota, $57 ]

Tweety Birds

Top, LC Lauren Conrad [similar 1; 2; 3] // Yellow Skinnies, Forever 21 // Bracelets, Tiffany & Co; Kate Spade; Jack Wills // Flats, Lacoste [similar 1; 2]

This shirt does not sit well on me. But with ruffles, pastel birds, and a peplum frill, it’s still a favorite spring piece of mine. As are these yellow jeans. Which I’m realizing go with about ninety percent of my closet somehow… 🙂
