I always love knee high and thigh high socks on other girls, but have a hard time styling them myself. I guess thats why these babies don’t see the light of day very often. But I’ve pulled them out of hiding for a quick go at it, and I must say, I quite like what has happened here. Maybe I should give them a chance more often.

Keeping with my 2013 goal, I’m chugging right along and working hard on updating shopHollyDolly. Up first - bow and collar necklaces. I’ve re-photographed all of the old colors, as well as added a few new colors.
Stayed tuned in a couple of weeks. Up next will be hair bows (both large and small), and after that - new items and a bridal line! I’m pretty excited, and I hope you are too :) So please, check it out!
You guys, I am SO excited to share that I am a finalist in Cotton’s Road To The Runway contest! Grand Prize includes a trip to Florida to attend Cotton’s 24 hour runway show, and I am beyond thrilled to be in the running. Finalists are split up into regions (myself being in the northeast), and compete only against other finalists in their region.
If you don’t mind, head on over and vote (hopefully for me, pretty please?). There is some stiff competition, and some pretty fierce style I am up against. But if I can make it past round one, I am one step closer to the grand prize!
Thanks, my friends! I don’t really like soliciting you all for votes, but I could really use your help! I will love you forever :).
Boo had some gift cards from Christmas to spend, so this weekend we headed into Boston for a little shopping. I bundled up for the occasion - giant fur blanket around my neck and all.

I’ve been taking a lot more random snapshots since I’ve gotten my new camera.
So here we go - bits and pieces of my week.
Have a lovely weekend, my friends!
I haven’t worn this dress since my bridal shower last May. So I’ve pulled it out of hiding for a little winter remix.

I may have gone a little overboard with all of the fireworks photos. I’ll spare you all 30 photos, but these are a few of my favorites. The lights, the colors - such an inspiring start to 2013!
Happy New Year, my friends! We’re welcoming 2013 here with lots of snow and chilly temperatures. But at least I have a fantastic new cape and new booties to get me through it (thanks Boo!)
I’m not really one for resolutions. I’ve made them in years past, but found that I either forget about them within a couple of months, or never stick to them anyway. But there is one thing I will say for this year - this is going to be the year for shopHollyDolly. Last year was concentrated so much on wedding planning, and the shop kind of took a backseat. But 2013 is the year I take the shop to the next level. And It starts with shopHollyDolly being available at Crompton Collective! If you live in the Worcester or Boston area, you should really go check it out. I’ve mentioned before how I believe it is the cutest shop around, and I’m so excited to be a part of the handmade family!
Stay tuned over the next few weeks/months. I’ll be photographing and adding new items to the shop very soon. So check back often, and head on over to Crompton Collective for a visit!
