In My Life

Sorry I ended up being MIA this week. I have a good excuse, I swear. And that excuse is the little face you see up there in all those photos. I took a mini trip out to Kansas City for a few days to see my sister and my little man, Liam. 

The last time I saw him, he was only a few days old. Now, he holds my hand (kind of), is a big fan of his own feet (and his thumb), and can sit through an entire dinner out without crying (too much). Oh, and he still reeeeeally loves his puppy sister’s kisses. I know, the cuteness is a bit overwhelming.

Red, Blue, and Gingham

I’m a little behind on posts - I actually wore this last week on Memorial Day. And obviously, I couldn’t stay away from a patriotic themed outfit. A little star spangled, red, white, and blue. 

Anywho, the weekend was a drab and dreary one. So, come Monday, Boo and I just wanted to get outside for a bit. So we spent a relaxing afternoon walking through Minuteman park. It turned out to be a gorgeous day, and perfect conditions for photos. I had such a hard time narrowing them down!

In My Life

» This week on Design Diary, I showed everyone how to install zippers 3 ways : invisible, centered, and lapped.

» These pants need to get in my closet ASAP. This dress, too.

You guys, these are shorts. I bet you thought it was skirt, didn’t you? Did I fool you? But, nope - culottes. The coolest culottes ever, I might add.

Excuse me while I continue to twirl around and marvel at the fact that I’m not flashing my undies to the world.

Happy tuesday, friends! I’m still shaking off the effects of a long weekend, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet, yet again, while I try to get into the groove of the week.

In My Life

» It was Cascade week on Design Diary! I’ve done tutorials, and shared a full outfit. Head on over to see it all, and I’ll share some photos here on Monday. 

» I’m starting to realize what having a kitten means - my arms and legs are starting to look like his personal scratching post. Oh, baby Henry.  

» Boo and I have a new favorite go-to weekend activity : kayaking and canoeing on the Charles. We’ve headed a few times towards the outskirts of the city, where it’s quieter. But next time we want to try it right from Boston. I’m sure the city views will be amazing!

» A few more items to add to my summer wishlist : this top, this dress, and these sneakers (yep, I said sneakers. How unlike me. But they are polka dot, so I guess that makes sense). 

Cut It Out

I’m a big fan of cut-outs lately. I’m sorta obsessed with this sweater that I wore recently, and now I’m in love with this skirt and these sandals. And it just so happens that they work perfectly together. Lover love love. 

I wore this out to Sunday brunch this past weekend. And I got my usual eggs benny, in case you were wondering (another obsession). I love brunch so much. I wish that every meal could be like brunch. Eggs benny, waffles, and pancakes - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every day. That sounds like perfection.
