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,...

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.
dress: Anthropologie
necklace: made by me. being added to the shop soon.

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...

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.

Four Eyes
worn on July 19th, 2011
Two months after trying out my Warby Parker trial pack, I finally got around to ordering my new real glasses! I’m pretty much in love with them, even if my stepdad said that all I need now are some windshield wipers. Psh, I look gooooooood.
dress: Tucker for Target
sandals: Urban Outfitters
floral ring: gift from Boo

Beach Babies
worn on July 16th, 2011
Boo and I spent a couple of hours at the beach again this past saturday. And then we went for Harry Potter 7.2 round two. This time in Imax 3D. And it was just as fantastic as the first time.
p.s- don’t you just love that oh so fashionable band-aid I’m sporting? Thats the result of my fall the night before.
romper: Peppermint from Bobbles and Lace

My Orange Pants
worn on July 15th, 2011
I’ve been so excited to wear these pants since my mom bought them for me while we were home last (thanks mommy!!). So I thought that they would be the perfect thing to wear out to dinner for date night on friday. But they are long and require 4 inch heels. And lately heels have not been my friend. Yep- I bit the dust. Hard. I scraped up and bruised my knee pretty...

P.S-I'm a Nerd
worn on July 14th, 2011
I know that most of you have wondered, at one point in time, how in heavens name does a style blogger wear a graphic tee with a giant photo of a certain red headed wizard? Well its a good thing you have me around.
As you may have guessed, I wore this last night to the Harry Potter double feature/ midnight premiere. Well kind of what I wore. I may or may not be one of...

Wedding Wednesday (On a Thursday)
Our photographer emailed us the other day, letting us know that she posted 20 teaser photos from our engagement shoot on her blog. So of course, I had to share them with all of you. I am LOVING the way these came out, and I can’t wait to see the rest of them! You can see the rest of the teasers here.

Beach Go-ers
worn on July 9th, 2011
Living near the city, we often forget just how close we are to the ocean. I can’t believe we’ve lived here this long now, and this was our first time going to the beach. This definitely needs to change. I told Boo that every nice weekend we have, I want to spend exploring some of the beaches and coastline around us. How could we not want to spend lazy...

EBEW: Yellow
worn on July 8th, 2011
Its that time again - time for another Everybody, Everywear! This time around we are all wearing yellow. I love yellow, and I definitely had plenty to choose from in my closet. But my new warm weather staple seems to be a button up top tied over an easy throw on dress. So I obviously gravitated towards this yellow gingham for this outfit.
top: JCrew

That Dress I Made That One Time
worn on July 4th, 2011
Ok, so I wasn’t originally going to show you guys my engagement photo outfits until I could show you the actual photos. But seeing as it will be weeks until then, and that I’m just a teensy bit impatient, I figured I could show you one of the two outfits.
This one is actually the dress that I made, and gave you a sneak peek of a couple of weeks ago. I LOVE...

Denim on Denim
worn on July 3rd, 2011
Can you tell I desperately needed to get my bangs cut by this point? Don’t worry (because I know you were), I got it done the next day.
After a yummy breakfast at our local Earls, Boo and I hung out with our brothers and my oldest friend- we met on our very first day of kindergarden! So, we did some swimming, ate some delicious food, reminisced, then headed down...

First Day Home
worn on June 30th, 2011
I’ve always wanted to take railroad photos, but there really isn’t a good place to do it near us here in Boston. But I had an ‘Ah Ha’ moment when we got home, knowing there was a perfect spot right down the road.
Anywho, to tell you the truth - we didn’t do much this day. We spent a lot of the day relaxing at home, because we...

Just a peek
Hi everyone! I’m back in Boston now and getting settled back into routine. I’ll be returning with outfit posts tomorrow, but (as usual) I thought I would share a few photos from the trip home.
(L) obligatory Tim Hortons photo. A trip home isn’t complete without a few TimmyHo runs.
(R) a bit of a wind issue during a outfit shoot

Its My (Blogs) Birthday!
worn on June 26th, 2011
Its a birthday! Woo hoo! Last year, on July 1st, I started this blog. Granted, for the first few months, I used for what most people use their tumblogs for- reblogging and posting pretty pictures. But then I came across a few of my first style blogs, and it was love at first sight. And now we are here today!
Las weekend, Boo and I took a little trip to the North End....
