Hot Hot Hot (Pink)

worn on June 25th, 2011

Sometimes when I’m walking down the street, deciding which house to take photos in front of, I make my choice based on which one has flowers that match my outfit. Obvs. 

Boo and I started out our saturday with a trip to the hospital to get my stitches taken out. As you can tell, from that awesomely fashionable hospital bracelet I forgot to cut off. But then we spent a lot of time walking around Harvard and Porter Square. I kept it kind of simple, and warmer, because it was a bit chilly still from all the rain recently. 

I’m loving this hot pink for summer!

The Good Kind Of Rainy Days

Worn on June 24th, 2011

We’ve had another few days of pretty rainy weather around here. Usually, I don’t like days like these. But these have been some pretty good ones. This week I’ve spent almost all my time in comfy sweatshirts, drinking coffee, and sewing away while netflix-ed Dexter episodes play next to me. 

You see, I wanted a second outfit for our engagement shoot coming up. But after weeks and weeks of searching for the perfect dress, I just couldn’t find something I wanted. So it finally dawned on me to just make something myself. If I wouldn’t thought of this earlier, I would’ve designed and drafted something myself. But seeing as I now only have a short amount of time, I decided to go with a commercial pattern. And I’m loving the way its looking so far.

- my little sewing buddies :)

- I realized all of the mugs I own have something to do with WNY/home. I’ve had this baby for the longest time. 

- almost done! this photo is deceiving. the skirt portion is actually just pinned together. I was getting impatient and wanted an idea of what the finished product would look like. don’t worry, you’ll get to see the real thing soon!

Over The Weekend: SoWa Edition

worn on June 19th, 2011

Sunday was an absolutely lovely day. I’ve been dying to visit the SoWa market ever since I first heard about it, and this weekend I got my chance! And just my luck, Amy and the Haberdash were going to be there. Even more my luck, it was a gorgeous sunny day. 

At the end of the day, I walked away with a little vintage straw clutch, a fun geometric/ bunting necklace, and some new sewing patterns. Oh and I had a frozen milky way latte. De.lic.ious.

New Found Love

worn on June 17th, 2011

Most days I like my outfit, every once in a while… I love it. This outfit = love. I picked up this skirt in the most adorable little vintage shop right around the corner from me. If you’re from Boston, you already know about Artifaktori. But I lived here for about nine months and didn’t know it even existed. You’re not going to be able to keep me away from there now.

Stitches and Stitches

worn on June 15th, 2011

stitches #1: I mentioned the other day that I’ve been sewing a lot again. Well this top is something I’ve been working on. Polka dots and ruffles = my dream shirt. I can’t decide whether I want to keep it for myself or put it up for sale in my etsy shop. Actually, I wanna try this design out in a few other fabrics I have. So maybe after a few design adjustments (the neckline is a little lower than I would like) and construction changes, you may see a few of these babies in the shop. 

stitches #2: If you follow me on twitter you might have seen this last night. But not too long after these photos were taken, I had a little accident. I was making dinner, and the sneaky little knife slipped while I was chopping onions. It hurt. Bad. Long story short - I ended up in the ER and now have 5 stitches in my little baby pinky finger. Not only did I hurt myself, but the freakin’ Bruins won the Stanley Cup :/ Lets just say… I’m not a fan. It was a bad night, obvs.
