I know its technically still the long weekend. But seeing as I am spending all of today in a car any way, I thought I’d go ahead and jump right into sharing this weekend’s photos.
Boo and I headed back out to Buffalo for the holiday. There were a lot of the usual Memorial Day weekend activities, including lawn games, cook-outs, bonfires, star gazing, and ice cream trips. And then we finished off the weekend with the most amazing bridal shower eveeeeeeer. But I’ll have more on that later this week :)
(p.s - I stole that last photo from my friend Amanda. Thanks Manda!)

I stole this shirt from Boo’s side of the closet. It just seemed way more comfy than anything on my side. It was just that kind of day.
On that note - happy friday! I’m off to Buffalo for the long weekend, which includes my bridal shower! What are your plans for the holiday?

You guys, I’ve found a brilliant new way for you all to shop my closet.
Last week, the wonderful and adorable Alana introduced me to this new site called ShopLocket. ShopLocket makes it easy to sell any item you want, wherever you want. After you complete your listing, you simply use the code to embed it in your blog post, Facebook page, etc. How cool is that?! No need for a separate website and shop window, I can now sell items from closet right here!
(You can also see what other people are selling on ShopLocket’s Pinterest page)
Even better? ShopLocket is running a pretty cool giveaway right now. To enter to win $100 credit to ShopLocket, simply send a tweet to @ShopLocket using #ShopMyBlog saying what you would like to buy or sell using their site.
That’s it!
You have until 6/1 to enter, and the winner will be announced on the @ShopLocket twitter page.
Here’s a few items that I’m starting out with….
I also have a few other ideas of how I can use ShopLocket, other than a shop my closet. Liiiiiike, maybe a few exclusive ShopHollyDolly items, sold only here on the blog? Perhaps. I guess you’ll have to stay tuned and find out :)
This past weekend was gorgeous, yet again. On Saturday, Boo and I attended the yearly pot luck get together held at his boss’s mansion house. Boo and I won two games of cornhole, and I ate so much yummy goodness that I had to loosen my belt at one point. Is that inappropriate at a work party? Probs. But seriously, I really couldn’t stop eating.
dress: Tommy Hilfiger
belt: thrifted

A few things I’m coveting for the upcoming summer months.
.
clockwise from top left:
.
-Hats. Floppy, fedora, cloche, or this porkie pie version- I’ve discovered my love for hats this season.
- Anything and everything flamingo.
- A denim jacketis perfect for throwing on for the cooler summer evenings.
- I’m absolutely loving easy, throw and don’t think about it, tank and t-shirt dresses. This hot pink one from Madewell is exactly what I’m talking about!
-I really wanna try these Clinique Chubby Sticks. Really, I think it’s just because of the name.
-A cute pair of flat sandals. In polka dot, of course.
-Anything and everything arrows.
-You all know that my Warby Parker glasses are pretty much permanently attached to my face, so I’m reeeeally coveting a pair of their new prescription sunglasses!

What are you lusting after for this summer?
You guys, I bought another polka dot top.
I definitely have a problem. An addiction. I literally can’t help myself. Does anyone know if there is a support group out there for people like me? PDAA? That’s ‘polka dot addicts anonymous’, for those of you wondering.

skirt: American Apparel

headband: Anthropologie
flats: Jeffrey Campbell, Buffalo Exchange
On Wednesday evening, I attended The Swapaholics Fiesta Swap held at 40 Berkeley. There were pretty clothes, beergaritas and burritos, and photo booth fun. Overall, another successful swap :)
If you are in Boston, did you know that there are monthly swaps being held at 40 Berkely this year? The next one is June 20th, and it is cocktail/wedding themed! How perfect!

I’ve been wanting a faux leather jacket for a while now. But I worried about how it would actually fit in with my style and wardrobe, so I was a little resistant about putting up the money for one. So when Sheinside contacted me about reviewing a product from their site, I knew it was now or never to give the leather jacket thing a shot.
And you know what? I kind of love it. I tried to keep the rest of the outfit kind of soft and girly to compensate for the… toughness of the jacket. Tough biker chick isn’t really my style.
I don’t think.
But I do think I can easily work it into my wardrobe, and that it may easily become a staple.
P.S- I also thrifted a leather pencil skirt recently. I may need a little more time before I give that one a real try, though. Baby steps, people.

Soooooo, I had plans of doing a mini tutorial post for this manicure. But after a minor accident (and by minor, I mean our couch is now ruined), I became a little discombobulated and forgot to document the process. Buuuuut heres a good little tutorial, if you are interested.
