Weekend Wear: At The Fair

Eeeeee! Fair time! Back home, our local county fair is in August, so I am used to it being a summertime thing. But I actually loved it this time of year! The pumpkins, corn on the cob, and warm cider. Mmmmmmm, so good. 

I begged Boo to take me, but it was looking like rain all weekend. We took the risk and went anyway, and I’m so happy we got to go!

On saturday of Boo’s birthday weekend, we drove out to the adorable town of Newboryport. Many people had suggested going there, and I’m glad we did. We walked around the whole town, had the most delicious pizza, and walked in and checked out every little shop we went by. Yes, it was Boo’s birthday. But I may have gotten a few presents. Typical. 

After a while, we headed over to the boardwalk on the waterfront and ate our newly purchases fudge. Just sitting by the water, watching all the boats, might be one of my favorite things to do!

We didn’t stop there! Theeeeeen, we headed over to Plum Island for a little beach time. It was a little too chilly for sunbathing and swimming (although there were many brave souls who were doing so). But we did have a little picnic, took goofy pictures, and even took a little nap.

And finally, the birthday boy and his cupcakes!

New Friends

Well, obviously I can’t get enough of my denim tote. 

I wore this out friday when Boo and I went out with our new friends Haley and Alex. I met Haley at the recent Swap Uncapped, and we got along famously. And then I discovered that her husband is also from Buffalo! So the four of us went out and spent some time around Harvard Square- burgers at Mr. Bartley’s, dessert at Pinkberry, and drinks and a lot of talking outside the Charles Hotel. It was the perfect summer night. And of course I didn’t take any pictures. What kind of blogger am I?

P.S - I wear my shirt half untucked like this because Boo thinks its ridiculous. So obviously I must do it.

A Little More Denim

worn on August 18th, 2011

I was so excited to open up my package from Handbag Heaven last week and find this lovely denim tote! Obviously, I couldn’t wait to style it up. I’ve been loving a lot of denim lately. Denim on denim, anyone? In fact, I had to resist the urge to put together an entire denim outfit. So I opted for just the lighter colored, chambray shirt instead to let the bag stand out. 

I’m pretty pleased with the bag - its actually pretty sturdy, and very roomy. My only reservation is the leopard print lining. I love me a good leopard print, but it can be done cheese-ily. And I’m on the fence about this one.
