Lavender Brown

February 25, 2015 by Emily 7 Comments

I took a bit of my own advice and justified buying a new coat for this never-ending winter, but in a hue that would make these days feel just a bitttt brighter. I still can’t actually wear anything but seriously weather-proof boots outside, and the poor Beans have taken such a beating that maybe some cheery footwear will be my next investment…

Have you listened to me and picked up a winter–>spring coat yet?!

Black & Blue & White All Over

February 18, 2015 by Emily Leave a Comment

If you live anywhere within the continental US, you’ve probably heard snippets about the Frozen-like conditions New England has been experiencing this month. So here you have it folks, a real live look at what Elsa has thrusted upon us this February! These photos were snapped during a brief break from the overlapping storms… a balmy 24 hours without any snow, in which I traded the parka for my favorite lined trench…

And in case you’re wondering, yes, we do all sing Let It Go as we treck through the tundra.

Three hundred and fifty five (give or take) days out of the year, I am pretty uninterested in this color combo. But for Valentine season? I’m all in.

And yes, you’re right, I did cheat and pulled out this pink linen skirt about 6 months too early. #YOLO.

Mwah!

Paddington Bear

It wasn’t until a few days ago, after years of wearing this favorite navy toggle coat of mine, that I realized a resemblance to a certain stuffed celebrity::

Alas, we go with it. Because everyone loves that guy.

Important: Taylor is also a fan.

Here’s My Number, So Call Me Brady

January 28, 2015 by Emily 5 Comments

We’re just going to keep DeflateGate jokes to a minimum here today, mmmkay folks? There is a game to be played Sunday, and fan fashion to be discussed.

MY PATS FANS:: I’ve teamed up with Cambridgeside Galleria and ROSTER to give away a Patriots jersey to one luck guy or gal. Head on over to my Instagram to enter– you have until Friday, and then winner gets to pick up their new jersey at the mall this weekend just in time for Sunday’s game!

I lurveee this fitted jersey. All of my other Pats/Sox/Celtics/Bruins tees–albeit comfy–are not the most flattering. ROSTER has a seriously fashionable way of approaching sports team swag. They have unique styles you won’t find at any other stores in Boston, and boast a HUGE selection of women’s apparel. I don’t want to curse anything, but assuming Sunday’s game goes well, I’ll be stopping by the CS Galleria location come Monday to pick up a certain champions tee…

Now get on over there + enter before time is up. Go Pats!!

Oh, and::

A Night Out with Tablelist

January 21, 2015 by Emily Leave a Comment

I admit it. I’ve become a homebody.

Blame it on being engaged. Blame it on the suburbs. Truly I blame it on winter, but another story for another day.

Then every once in a while I get the itch to get out and do it up big. Put on some heels and lippy and have a crazy girls’ night out.

But the linessss. But the coverrrrrr. But the creepy mennnnn.

I’ve found the solution to all these petty complaints. It’s like Uber met OpenTable and had a little nightlife baby and it’s called Tablelist.

Tablelist is a new mobile app that allows you to book table service (you’ve probably heard it called bottle service) at your favorite bars and clubs right through your phone.

But table service is so expensive! Not necessarily so. Think about it this way:: At most Boston bars, a mixed drink can be upwards of $12. One or two of those later, and think about how much you’re spending. Get your group to put that money toward table service instead, and you’ll be drinking the same amount in an exclusive, blocked-off section just for you and your friends. Minus the cover. Minus the line. Minus the hassle.

I love that you can search for available tables by venue, or by location. I find that more times than not my friends tell me they want to go to a certain area (Back Bay, Seaport, etc.) rather than a certain bar.

In addition to booking, you can also pay for everything and split the bill with your friends right through the app. No more dealing with sketchy promoters or figuring out how to split a bill and tip on ten different credit cards.

Hello, bachelorette season.

Not all for crazy nights out? I used the app to book a weeknight happy hour at MiniBar! Because sometimes Prosecco on a Tuesday is necessary.

And oh my gawd look at that I even dressed up a little! Winter white jeans + heels are about as dressy as I can go until summer hits again. This has become a go-to outfit for evenings out in the Bean.

Navy Elsa Top, Lilly Pulitzer | White Jeans c/o Articles of Society | Sequin Clutch, Zara [similar 1; 2] | Navy Heels, Christian Siriano for Payless [similar 1; 2]

Tablelist is currently in Boston, NYC, San Francisco, Miami, DC, The Hamptons, Foxwoods, AND Las Vegas, and they are offering my readers a $50 credit— just use promo code EMILYGVIP when you sign up.

Sooo, anyone want to add me to their table?

Full disclosure: I was provided a complimentary night out on behalf of Tablelist for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Spend vs. Save & How to Buy Boyfriend Jeans

January 14, 2015 by Emily 15 Comments

I think this particular outfit pretty accurately sums up my MO when it comes to shopping:: spend on statement pieces; save on basics.

Sweater, jeans* = Forever 21. Pearls, oxford, heels = bargain bins. Kate Spade tote = ok, that was the splurge.

It’s these unique pieces—KSNY pretties and Lilly dresses, among others—that I won’t find anywhere else, and that I save up to splurge on. The basics? Unless I’m going to wear them to death, I take the opportunity to save.

*Fun tidbit on how to buy boyfriend jeans::
The boyfriend “cut” has never looked right on me, so my secret?
Buy a pair of straight leg jeans just a size or two too big for you, cuff ’em, and voila!

How do you determine what’s worth it to spend or save on?

Back-To-School Bag

January 7, 2015 by Emily 8 Comments

Mmmm let’s be real, I haven’t started a new semester in many moons now. But there’s something about starting off the year with a purchase for yourself that you can [attempt to] justify, based on resolutions. New stationary because you’re going to write more letters. New athletic pants because you’re going to run more. New cookbooks because you’re going to cook more.

Me? I want to get out more. Weekends specifically. I’m so go-go-go all week long lately that by the time I hit Saturday, the last thing I want to do is put on real clothes and leave the house if we have nothing on the calendar. Even if it’s just to take my laptop to a nearby coffee shop and blog there for a couple hours. Take my camera to a new neighborhood and practice sharpening those photo skills.

Joule’s sent me this leather bag, and I’m thinking it’s pretty perfect for these [mini] weekend adventures. Holds my laptop, agenda, and camera, but doesn’t feel like a normal, stiff computer bag. It’s soft leather but has a nice structure, and it comes in a sweet dusty pink as well! I’m smitten with it, and so many of their other handbags [“travel more” on your list? You need this.].

What’s going to be your new-year purchase?

Tied Up With a Bow

December 17, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

Well I’ve just had such fun playing with monochromatic holiday looks [oops I did it again!], but now it’s time to throw in some classic holiday crimson + gold. I picked up this dress earlier this fall for a wedding, knowing that I would get tons of use out of it during the Christmas season. It was obviously love at first sight when this Kate Spade number came across my radar, but the Lauren James version comes at a much prettier price tag! The crimson is way more versatile too– was just perfect for witnessing autumn nuptials in Maine!

Monochrome + Monogram

December 10, 2014 by Emily 9 Comments

Believe me, I’m normally all green-red-glitter-plaid from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Eve, but lazying about one day over the long weekend recently, this monochromatic look fell together, and it was a refreshing break from all of the holiday brights.

Waffle Knit Turtleneck Sweater, Forever 21 | Black Fit + Flare Skirt, H&M [similar 1; 2] | Pearl + Gold Necklace, J.Crew [similar] | Monogrammed Scalloped Cross Body Clutch c/o Marley Lilly | Polka Dot Calf Hair Sneakers c/o Keds

Some black & white details: my monogrammed clutch [only a few more months to rock this monogram y’all, let me have my fun!] is Marley Lilly, and I also adore this metallic gold one— perfect for holiday parties when you do need a little shine.

I’ve wanted polka dot Keds forEVS, and the team there was nice enough to send me a pair from their fall line! They have the lightest bit of fur, so suddenly wearing tennis shoes in December doesn’t sounds that weird 😉 Also seriously obsessed with their ribbon shoelaces.

Whatcha think– are you festive all season long, or do you opt for some black-white-gray days too?
