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.

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 the way it came out - the fit ended up being perfect. Plus, not only was it exactly what I wanted for the photos, but I also managed to get in a little blue and red(ok - red/orangeish) for the fourth. 

Bonus - Kathryn of Kitsune-kun made this dress too! go see her version here.

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 to the Sardinia Carnival. Games, taffy, and fireworks were the perfect ending to the night.

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 didn’t get in until 2am the night before. I did manage to get out for a Tim Hortons Iced Capp though. Thats essential.

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. We got some treats at Mike’s Pastry (of course) and then sat for a good long while by the water, staring out at some of the boats. It was such a gorgeous, relaxing day!

P.S - this post might be a bit of a photo overload, but its my (blogs) birthday, and I’ll do what I want to :)

P.P.S - come back in just a couple of hours - I have a little surprise!!

Facts

worn on June 27th, 2011

Fact: When I take photos in front of this door, it means we went grocery shopping. Exciting, I know. 

-

Fact: When I wear my bangs pulled back like this, it means I haven’t washed my hair. Scratch that - I definitely haven’t washed my hair. 

-

Fact: I like these colors together. True story.

Hot Hot Hot (Pink)

worn on June 25th, 2011

Sometimes when I’m walking down the street, deciding which house to take photos in front of, I make my choice based on which one has flowers that match my outfit. Obvs. 

Boo and I started out our saturday with a trip to the hospital to get my stitches taken out. As you can tell, from that awesomely fashionable hospital bracelet I forgot to cut off. But then we spent a lot of time walking around Harvard and Porter Square. I kept it kind of simple, and warmer, because it was a bit chilly still from all the rain recently. 

I’m loving this hot pink for summer!

The Good Kind Of Rainy Days

Worn on June 24th, 2011

We’ve had another few days of pretty rainy weather around here. Usually, I don’t like days like these. But these have been some pretty good ones. This week I’ve spent almost all my time in comfy sweatshirts, drinking coffee, and sewing away while netflix-ed Dexter episodes play next to me. 

You see, I wanted a second outfit for our engagement shoot coming up. But after weeks and weeks of searching for the perfect dress, I just couldn’t find something I wanted. So it finally dawned on me to just make something myself. If I wouldn’t thought of this earlier, I would’ve designed and drafted something myself. But seeing as I now only have a short amount of time, I decided to go with a commercial pattern. And I’m loving the way its looking so far.

- I realized all of the mugs I own have something to do with WNY/home. I’ve had this baby for the longest time. 

- almost done! this photo is deceiving. the skirt portion is actually just pinned together. I was getting impatient and wanted an idea of what the finished product would look like. don’t worry, you’ll get to see the real thing soon!
