Confession: I absolutely LOVE the crop top trend going on right now. LOVE. IT.
It’s just, when I actually got around to trying it myself, I felt a wee bit self conscious. But, with everything I have going on right now, I didn’t even have time to think about it. So I braved it - I hiked up my skirt, threw on a cardi (ok, not really. It was 100 degrees out. The cardi barely lasted 5 minutes), and headed out to this month’s Dress Swap hosted by the Swapaholics.
.
If you are in the Boston area, don’t forget that these swaps are being held monthly! Don’t forget to check out the schedule, and Follow the Swapaholics on Twitter and Facebook so you don’t mix the next one.

Boo and I ventured out to the beach this weekend. It wasn’t the most ideal beach day- it was a bit chilly and incredibly windy (hence the really stringy, gross hair). But it was practically empty, and therefore really quiet and peaceful. So we cuddled up under the blanket and gave names to the seagulls as they wandered about around us. There was Bob 1and Bob 2, and Frank, among others. We’re real original with names, obviously.
dress: JCrew (crewcuts)
hat: Forever21
flats: Blowfish Shoes (won in a giveaway)
Just a peek into my very eventful weekend.
.
I traveled to NYC friday morning. And then back to Boston friday night. With just a few hours in between for a dress fitting, some shopping, and a visit to my old school.
.
We worked our butts off on more wedding related projects. Only 19 more days now!
.
And we managed to make a trip out the beach on a windy, but quiet and relaxing day.

I wore this outfit yesterday. And now I’m wearing this outfit today. Because I like it. The end!
That was a really good story, wasn’t it?
dress: JCrew, Buffalo Exchange
jacket: c/o Sheinside
hair bows: shopHollydolly
heels: Nine West
I may have fancied it up for mine and Boo’s froyo date and for these pictures - but the bare bones of this outfit is just a simple tee and cutoffs. which is exactly what I have been living in lately. Tee and jeans. Basics.
Its amazing what a little collar and pretty cardigan can do to an outfit :)
cardigan: Anthropologie
tee: Express
collar: shopHollyDolly (similar available here!)
shorts: DIY
flats: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Not only is mine and Boo’s wedding sneaking up on us, but so is our honeymoon! Here are a few things I’m hoping to pack in my bag for our beach vay-cay….
clockwise from top left:
A big, floppy hat - like this one from Modcloth.
Pretty underthings.
Easy, throw on and go, flowy sundresses. I am totally in love with this one .
A fun new swimsuit. This one is from Delias.
Sandals for beach ready feet.
A big carryall that could double as a carry-on and a beach bag!
