In My Life

» Apparently, according to Instagram, my life consists of a sleepy cat and a lot of fall leaves. 

» I have a coat addiction. I’m loving this yellow one, this grey cape, and this puffy one. 

» I just went through my makeup bag, replacing some old items with some new. I’m a huge fan of Stila and Benefit products, but I’m a also a huge believer in Dior mascara. 

» Hey Boston Bloggers - will I be seeing you at the next Boston Blogger Holdiay Meet-Up? December 3rd. Mark you calendars!

» I had the honor of being a part of A Clover and A Bee’s new feature - “These Hands”. Head on over to check out my post!

» What I’m watching : Holy crap have I become addicted to HGTV. No really. Like, serious addiction. I don’t watch anything else anymore. I don’t even look at any other channels. And I don’t know how it has taken me sooo long to discover it. 

» What I’m listening to : JT… all.the.time. 

»What I’m reading : Allegiant. The 3rd and final book in the Divergent series. I’m actually just finishing up re-reading the second book, and I’m so excited to dive into it!

»What I’m eating : A lot of soup. Boo makes a killer homemade tomato soup. 

» Cold weather is on my brain. I want this coat, these socks, and this cardigan. 

» Speaking of cold weather again, How ridiculously cozy do the new items in Lyndsay’s shop, The Seam Designs, look?! I received a couple things in the mail from her the other day (picture above!) and they’re going to be perfect for winter. 

» I won’t have a shopHollyDolly update for this upcoming week. That’s my bad. I’m a procrastinator, and I procrastinated too long this time (I blame the recent HGTV addiction). Whoops. But I’ll have some more coming your way in a couple of weeks! Meanwhile, check out everything that has been added up to this point here.

» Boo and I decided to take a little road trip up through New Hampshire and Maine this weekend to take in the fall foliage. We’re kinda just winging it. So, New England friends - any suggestions?

» I can’t stop thinking about this jacket, this skirt, and this sweater. Pleeeeease get in my closet. 

» Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin ravioli - I love it all. My newest discovery? Pumpkin fro-yo. Delicious.

» Last week/weekend, Boo and I traveled to Cleveland again. This time - for my little Ferdy’s wedding! It was an honor to stand up there and be a part of their day. And let me say - it was a gorgeous wedding. A museum setting, butterfly bouquets, and an ice cream bar. What more could you ask for? :)

» This dress just arrived in the mail the other day, and I am in love.

» I have a dilemma. I am sooooo ready for boots, layers, and a fall wardrobe.  But I never want the warm weather to end. Can’t I have both? Pretty please?

» Henry has been an absolute devil lately. 6 months - is that the terrible twos age of the kitten world? Quick, somebody remind me how adorable he is. Annnnnnnd go….

» Last weekend, along with some other Boston area bloggers, I got a chance to do a really fun photoshoot with Vizio Optic. In other words, I got to play model and wear some really adorable glasses and sunglasses. I’ll be sharing those photos soon!

» You guys, I’m that cat lady now. My cat wears a leash. I’m both ashamed and amused. 

» It’s rainy. Which makes me reeeeeally lazy today. In the battle of sewing/ jewelry making vs. watching a lot of TV…. TV is winning. Ugh.

» You guys, summer has been crazy busy so far. And there are no signs of it slowing down. Last weekend, we enjoyed a perfect summer day on Cape Cod, which ended in the most hilarious failed attempt at beach camping. And this weekend, we have some friends here visiting to romp around the city with us. On top of that, we still have multiple weddings, photoshoots, events, meet ups, and adventures still to come. Its non stop! But I’m not complaining :)

» Summer farmers markets are the best. The end. 

» I just bought this red jumpsuit and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive. As long as the fit is good, you can definitely expect to see it around here soon in all its glory.

» Boston bloggers- are you attending the newest Boston Bloggers Soiree next month? I still have to double check that I’ll be around that day (that darn busy summer schedule), but I’m hoping to make it, and I’m hoping to see you there!
