In My Life

» As I mentioned at the beginning of the week, Boo and I spent a looooot of last weekend in the car between Boston, Buffalo, and Cleveland. There was a bridal shower, a bachelorette party, fireworks, catching up with friends, rain, sunshine, delicious pancakes, a one year anniversary, baby Liam cuddles, fishing, bonfires, s’mores, family time, and way too many photos of the sky from the car. Phew, that was one jam-packed weekend. 

» Speaking of our belated anniversary, we’re taking a short trip up to Vermont this weekend, and I am so excited! Three years we have lived in MA, and we have yet to travel to other parts of New England.  

» How cute is this overalls dress?! This purse, too. 

» You may have noticed that I haven’t had any Design Diary posts to share with you. If you follow Megan, you’ve probably seen that she has decided to take a step back from the shop right now. Which also means that she will be slowing down with the blog too (read Megan’s post here), and therefore I won’t be working on any more projects. Boooooo :(. But I still am sewing a lot, and hopefully I’ll start sharing those projects more here on HollyDolly!

Blues

Nothing can make you feel more like a super model than a flowy maxi skirt blowing in the breeze as you walk. Fact. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should go do it now.

One Year

One year ago yesterday, Boo and I got married. Yesterday, we reached our one year anniversary while in Cleveland celebrating another friend’s upcoming nuptials. It was a great weekend, but we’ll have to have a proper celebration here soon. I mean, we made it a year! That’s a big deal! Not that there was ever a doubt that we would ;).

But really - I can’t believe how fast that year went.  Fo real! It seems like it was just last month that I was knee deep in all of that crazy planning, and then walking down that aisle, tripping over my own dress. I wouldn’t change a thing, especially that guy that was standing at the end of the aisle waiting for me :). 

Happy anniversary, BooBoo!!!

P.S - see more of our wedding photos here. And just for kicks, see our honeymoon photos here.

An American Girl

Happy Fourth of July, my American friends! Today, I give you my obligatory red, white and blue outfit. Oh, who am I kidding - I love it. I had a few color themed outfits picked out, and this one won. But I’ll probably still share the others at a later date. 

I hope all of you have a super fun and safe day/weekend! I am off visiting family for part of today, before heading to a friends bridal weekend. This time last year, I was prepping last minute details for our wedding, and now I get to help one of my BFFs do the same. It’s going to be a really busy and travel filled next few days, but it would’t be July 4th weekend without it!

Blogiversary

Today marks HollyDolly’s three year anniversary! Woah, three years? Has it really been that long? I’ve come a long way since that first outfit photo, quietly squeezed in among a bunch of random inspiration pretty photos.  Thanks to all of you out there, longtime followers and new, who continue to follow and support my little corner of the internet. My style is still continuing to evolve, and HollyDolly has been evolving right along with it. Here’s to (hopefully) another 3+ years!

Happy birthday, little bloggy!
