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…
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.

Despite the fact that it’s been unseasonably warm the past few weeks (not joking- the temperature as I’m writing this is 83 degrees.

I can pretty much pinpoint the moment that my love affair with gingham began. It was 1995, and I had spent the majority of that summer transcribing the entire Wizard of Oz (word for word) on a giant stack of college-ruled notebook paper. I can’t really give you a valid reason why I did it. The Wizard of Oz is a favorite, yes, and there’s obviously the Judy Garland angle, but decades later the only thing I can deduce is there was something about the music, the colors and the wardrobe that made me yearn to commit…
