Brighter Than The Sun

worn on July 31st, 2011

Over the weekend, Boo and I continued our beach adventures by making our first trip to the ever popular Crane Beach. It was sooooo incredibly gorgeous, and such a warm, relaxing summer afternoon. 

My beach-wear seems to be getting more and more simple. Not that its a bad thing. But I started out with pretty pretty sundresses, and now I’m already to shorts and an oversized tank. Oh well, its the beach!

p.s - yesterday I was on Green Wedding Shoes with a quick blurb on how pinterest is helpful in my wedding planning. You should go check it out!

What I Wore To Swap Day

worn on July 30th, 2011

Saturday, the Swapaholics hosted Swap Uncapped, and my very first swap! I did score a few fun items - including  cashmere sweater and a pretty granny floral skirt that will be adorbs once I hem it. But the best part of the day was meeting all the wonderful bloggers in the Boston area- including Amy and Jen! I made new friends, got to meet and talk to Jessica, and scored some fabulous new items. Although, I was a bad little blogger and forgot to take photos of the event. Except for the one below, of course. 

And I’ll be debuting my acquired items soon, once I get around to altering.

tank: Delias (gift)

skirt: Anthropologie

necklace: made by me. being added to the shop later this week.

sandals: Urban Outfitters

My decision not to wear heels made me feel incredibly short next to these ladies. But it was so nice to meet Jessica and the rest of the girls!

In My Life...

(L) An absolutely gorgeous day at Crane Beach!

(R) We’ve kind of become obsessed with Dave’s sandwiches. So yummy!

(L) A full house at Swap Uncapped! More on that tomorrow…….

(R) I have a little quirk. I looooove corn on the cob. I mean, love it. I’ve been know to eat 8-9 ears of it in one sitting, and nothing else. Thats it, just…. corn on the cob for dinner. But the thing is, and everyone who knows me thinks I’m incredibly strange for this, I refuse to eat it off the cob. Not canned corn… not frozen corn… I don’t care if I sit there as you cut it off the cob right in front of me. No way. Gross. 

Join us... and be DAZZLING!

These Photos Almost Never Happened

worn on July 28th, 2011

Ok, so these aren’t the best photos. But it was getting later and later in the evening, and Boo still wasn’t home. I thought I was going to go another day without outfit photos. Oh no! But I sucked it up, grabbed my tripod, and ran out to the porch to catch the last few minutes of daylight. 

I love to throw this top on in the summer. Its so light, and airy, and flutter-y. That DVF knows whats up. 

top: Diane von Furstenberg

shorts: Anthropologie

A Lack Of Words

worn on July 26th, 2011

I don’t really have anything to say. Wanna know how interesting my day was? I went to the grocery store, did laundry, sewed for a bit, and then watched a lot of tv. Exciting, I know. 

its hard to tell, but they are hot pink with a silver glitter gradient tip. Another pinspiration

White Hot Summer

worn on July 22, 2011

I wore this last week during that insane heat wave. I’m pretty sure at this point it was something like 101 degrees out. Which is why I didn’t travel much farther than my porch for these photos. To be honest, I’m surprised I put clothes on at all. I spent most of the day sitting in front of the AC unit in my underwear. Is that TMI?  Too late, now you know.

Mixing Blues and Greens (EBEW: Thrifted)

worn on July 20th, 2011

Boo and I saw Harry Potter again last night for the 3rd time in less than a week. Don’t judge. We are a bit obsessed and we know it. 

Anyway - this skirt was picked up at Goodwill awhile back and it was one of those perfect finds. An obnoxious color of green, and if fit me flawlessly? How could I pass that up.
