I AM A…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess…

YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at…

THIS OR THAT │10 Questions + Story Templates

Hey, Instagrammers! Has anyone else been really enjoying those “this or that”/ “get to know me” templates floating around insta-story lately? They remind me of a combination of those old Cosmo magazine quizzes and the chain email questionnaires we all used to forward to our friends in the good old days of AOL. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don’t you think?I’ve gotten a few questions about where to get these templates, so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing a few of my favorite graphic designers/bloggers who have templates you…

BOSTON BLOGGERS CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

Did you know the month of March is earmarked as Women’s History Month? A whole month dedicated to women is obviously a giant “Heck, yes!” for me. Now, I realize that at this point there’s a national day or month for pretty much everything (not joking- National Grilled Cheese Day was a few weeks ago. How is that even a thing?!), but this is one national “something or other” I was not going to let pass by. So, in keeping with the spirit of all things Wear You Are Now #ladytribe, I organized a group shoot with some…

YOU HAD ME AT YELLOW

If I had a dollar for every time I texted one of my friends “I’m wearing a really aggressive pair of pants” before meeting up, I’d be (to quote my friend Danielle who usually is on the receiving end of these texts) “a thousandaire.” I’m a big believe in the life’s too short to wear boring clothes, mantra. This, coming from a woman who as a child, used to wear Stride Rite tennis shoes in two different colors to match my outfit, is not surprising.I once took a color psychology class in college- yes, that…

WHAT DIANE KEATON (and my friends) TAUGHT ME ABOUT BEAUTY

The first time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was the first time I saw The Godfather. The second time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was when I saw Annie Hall. My obsession with her turtlenecks and open crisp white button downs arrived when she appeared in Something’s Gotta Give (and subsequently sent my mother and I on a permanent hunt for the perfect “Diane Keaton” shirt). And my appreciation for her quirkiness arrived when she starred in Because I Said So. This woman, who undoubtedly tops my favorite actress list, has been inspiring me one…
