The Weekend
Happy monday, my friends. How was your weekend?
Boo and I did a little shopping, skipped a big brunch for a Panera pastry and coffee breakfast instead, and took multiple naps on the couch. A perfectly laid-back couple of days.

In My Life
» This week on Megan Nielsen Design Diary, it was all about scallops : a scallop tutorial, a scalloped hem, and a scalloped collar (above).
» The winners of the Firmoo giveaway have been announced and notified!
» Are you fashion or style blogger in the Boston / New England area? Have you gotten your ticket to the Blog Better Boston : Style Summit yet? You should get on that! It’s going to be a pretty awesome day :)
» Amanda of Indie Jane recently featured my outfit in her “things I love" post, and also introduce me to these teas. They have collections based around the Harry Potter and Hunger Games characters. And now I think I need all of them.
» In other news : there is still snow on the ground, and I am listening to JT’s 20/20 Experience on repeat (like everyone else on the planet, I’m pretty sure).
Scalloped
This skirt is my latest project for Megan Nielsen Design Diary. But I was pretty much in love with the skirt and this outfit, so I thought I would share it here too. It’s the Kelly Skirt pattern, with a scalloped hem variation. You can see my scallop tutorial here, and this outfit over at Design Diary here. Hop on over and take a peek!

Spring Wishlist
————————————— one - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight - nine —————————————
This weather is depressing me. So I’m making up for it with some delusional, pretend shopping. Here’s a look st what is in my fake shopping bag - leather shorts, lots of mint, open toes, and giraffes (obviously). And more glasses, too. I may already have 3 pairs, but I am now convinced that I need a little bit of color.
What’s on your Spring shopping bag?
Weather and Wardrobe Blues
It is snowing again as I type this. No, really. Snowing. Again. Mother Nature - I’m not happy with you right now. You’re giving me the weather and wardrobe blues.
St. Paddy's
I’m not a drinker. So I spent my St. Paddy’s day making brownies, craft shopping, and editing photos. But I still had to get some obligatory green mixed into my outfit yesterday and show some Irish pride. I didn’t want to let down my Irish heritage completely.
How was your St. Paddy’s day? Safe, I hope!

Apple Of My Eye
This was a casual, weekend, errand - running outfit. Boo and I headed to Crompton Collective in Worcester (like we do every few weeks), to check up on my shopHollyDolly items there and re-stock anything that sold. And then, because I can’t leave that store without finding at least 10 more new things that I want, I bought a vintage dress. It’s super cute. You should see it. Wait… you probably will. Some day soon, I’m sure :)
