BOSTON BLOGGER DINNER PARTY
Last night I travelled out to the South End for a fabulous blogger dinner at Boston Chops. Georgina did SUCH an amazing job throwing all of us such a fab party. From the awesome giveaways right down to the sparkly details scattered across the tables, it was all so magical. Plus, any opportunity to catch up with all my favs is going to be an alright night :).
Oh, and this is what I wore. As usual, I didn’t take any photos at the event. So you’re left with just an outfit post. My bad.

IN MY LIFE

SAVE THE DRAMA FOR YOUR LLAMA
It’s Monday, so let’s do this with bullet points, shall we?
- That little spool necklace? I’ve been working on a bunch more of them. They’ll be coming to the shop very soon!
- It always happens this time of year. My brain is telling me it’s time for spring, but mother nature is telling me there’s still at least another month and a half of this. Probably more. Blargh.
- However, cute animal print clothing can always make up for a gloomy day.
- I need coffee.

OH DEER
Oh my goodness. This past Sunday warmed up to a whole 50 degrees. It was glorious. I shed my jacket, rolled up my sleeves, and did a little dance. It was even warm enough for us to go on an actual leisurely walk, and not the usual get-to-point-A-to-point-B-as-fast-as-humanly-possible-because-it’s-so-freakin-cold-out that is the norm this time of year. Which allowed us to discover this super bright and awesome new photo spot. Super score.

LOUNGE-Y
The last time I made a pair of leggings with this pattern, they were a bit, um, flashy. This time around I opted for a really lounge-y grey rib knit. And I’ve pretty much been living in them around the apartment ever since. I knew they would never make it to an outfit post, giving the lounge factor. So I grabbed the tripod (and Henry, too) and documented them on a snowy morning.

CAPED
I’m a little behind on outfit posts. I wore this, not this past weekend, but the weekend before. On our monthly trip to Worcester. I had my usual trip to Crompton Collective to update my shopHollyDolly case, we picked up some new air plants at Seed to Stem, and then we went ice skating and grabbed seem coco and hot dogs afterward.
It was probably one of the best ice skating days we’ve ever had! We got there right as the rink was opening, so we practically had it to ourselves. More room for Boo to pull me around, and less people to see me struggle when I try to skate by myself :|.
