Apple Apple

On sunday, Boo and I took a little impromptu outing for some pizza (and outfit pictures, of course). I ended up getting my pizza with apple butter, apples, and feta. Oh, so yuuuuuum. I’m officially a fan of apple butter on pizza. Have you ever had it? It is DELICIOUS.

Zombie-fied

I know I know, Halloween was so last week. It felt like it lasted forever, and here I am - dragging it out more. But I was so proud of our zombie bride and groom costumes, I couldn’t help but share!

I’m convinced Boo could actually play an extra on The Walking Dead.

A Visit to Vizio Optic

IMG_1000

IMG_1001

Recently, I was invited to come in and visit the wonderful people at Vizio Optic in Brookline, MA. As a lover of cute eyewear, and a fan of local business, I jumped at the opportunity! 

You see, Vizio isn’t one of those basic, boring eyewear shops. They have high end, unique, fashion forward frames. Don’t get me wrong, you can definitely get some amazing, simple, black frames here. But, if you arelooking for something really different - maybe a crazy frame shape. Or maybe you want a more basic frame shape, but in a bright, bold hot pink. Vizio has you covered no matter how bold you wanna go. 

Another upside - they do good. When you buy eyeglasses at Vizio, they give a pair of frames to someone in need. Amazing, right?

The only downside - the price. These frames are high end. And the prices reflects that. But, if you wear glasses (and wear them every.single.day like I do), it could definitely be worth it. I’ve never seen anything like what I saw here. The colors! The prints! The shapes! A couple of the frames I tried on are now on my christmas wish list, for sure :)

So, if you live in the Boston area and are looking for a new pair of glasses (or sunglasses!), I definitely recommend a visit to Vizio. Not from the area? They also have an online store, and ship internationally! Check them out :)

Happy Halloween!!

I know a lot of you dressed up this past weekend, but Boo and I actually have a costume party this upcoming weekend. So I will have to wait a little longer to share my costume with you all, but I can’t wait!

As for tonight, it will consist of hot chocolate, candy, and creepy TV. 

What are your plans tonight?

P.S - Didn’t Boo do an awesome job with these photos?! He really got into this shoot - picking the location and playing the role of photographer. Thanks BooBoo!! :)

In My Life - Bring It, Sandy

instaweekend

We had a busy weekend - Bowling with friends, exploring, a trip to Vizio Optic (more on that later), and multiple outfit shoots in preparation for bad weather this week. 

And today, we are bunkering down and waiting for Hurricane Sandy to do her thing and leave us alone. Boo’s work was closed, so he’s home with me all day. Atleast that’s one upside to this storm :) Now let’s just hope she doesn’t do too much damage. Yikes!

Happy friday!

I have a teensy tiny favor to ask of all of you.

I am so incredibly excited for my design to be a finalist in Modcloth’s ‘Make The Cut’ Contest (yay!). If you don’t mind, head on over to Modcloth’s Facebook page and vote for your favorite! I mean, you don’t had to vote for mine, but it would be awfully nice of you :)

P.S - I know that had nothing to do with this outfit. So, here we go…. I really like this outfit. And I never wanna take this snood off. 

And that is all I have for you today.

Ok, so it’s not that cold out…… yet. Actually, I think it’s supposed to get up into the high 60’s here in Boston by tomorrow (yay!). But I know the cold is coming. And soon. And I’m shivering just thinking about it. I’m a baby when it comes to the cold, so I try to make up for it with some cute cold weather accessories. At least I’ll be shivering with style. 

Save The Garment Center

I have a whole drawer full of graphic tees. I have that problem, where, at every concert, sporting event, and festival, I have to get a tee. But most of them never see the outside world. They mostly get worn as lounge and bedtime shirts. Except for this one. There are newer versions of this tee out there, but these ones were given out to fashion students by the CFDA while I was studying at FIT. And I love styling it. 

Plus, it promotes a great cause
