SPRING TEES

spring-tees

If you follow me on Instagram, than I’d like to apologize for becoming one of those really annoying people that can’t stop taking pictures of every single blooming tree, flower bed, and plant I pass by. Call me #BASIC, but Boston is one hell of a good looking city, especially in the Springtime, especially when this winter kicked my ass the way it did, and especially when I spent the last two weeks in bed with a sinus infection. At this point, I pretty much just want to call a timeout on life and roll around on the…

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…

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…

30 Wardrobe Staples You Should Own by the Time You’re 3030 Things Every 30-Something Should Have30 Things You Should Have in Your Wardrobe by the Age of 3025 Things That a Woman Should Have by Her 30’sI’ve never been one to buy into the “should have” lists- especially ones that come with an expiration date. The idea of telling someone that they’re behind in life because they haven’t picked a signature fragrance by their 25th Birthday, or haven’t invested in an expensive arm chair by their 30th, has always…

PLEATS AND THANK YOU

There aren’t many things that I will voluntarily wake up for on a weekend before 10 a.m., but an opportunity to romp around and brunch at Assembly Row (when it’s warm enough in February to not wear tights) with some gal pals is absolutely one of them. Especially when there was a time not that long ago that I didn’t have very many folks to do that with. Moving to a new city will do that to you!As a self-proclaimed people collector, I have a gaggle of friends. In fact, my tribe is one…

VALENTINE’S DAY IN VELVET

If you were born in the 80’s, you probably have a family/school/holiday photo of the childhood version of yourself in some sort of velvet get-up (complete with a matching hair bow, if you’re me). And due to the trauma of living through this trend (thanks, Mom!) it took me almost 30 years to finally give velvet a go a second time. And my oh my, what I’ve missed.Long gone are the days of stuffy/stretchy velvet pieces that make you so sweaty you can’t actually enjoy yourself. Hello to flowy details, off…

A PLEDGE FOR 2018

Hello, old friends! I hope you all had an amazing holiday. After a much needed break, complete with some serious unplugging, a lot of movies, and a week long vacation in the Caribbean (more on that later!) it’s really good to see you all again.2017 was definitely a year for the books, though I’ve yet to determine what category to file that book under. I think we can all agree that this past year tried our patience and challenged our acceptance of the social, cultural and political climate around us. Was it rocky? Heck yes. But it…
