#BBBos

Continuing my obsession with crop tops, I present you with my outfit that I wore the Blog Better Boston: Style Summit. I’ve had this outfit planned out since  before I even had this skirt made up. And it worked out just as good in real life, as it did in my head. 

Now, I was a bad little blogger and deserve a slap on the wrist. I barely took any photos at the event. I know. Not cool. I was just too busy mingling and chatting with all the other lovely Boston bloggers to realize I had my own blogging duties! Please forgive me. But at least I had my iPhone permanently attached to my hand the entire day, so I did manage to get a good number of Instagram photos. 

But I seriously had a blast the entire day. I met some new blogger friends, caught up with Julie from Orchid Grey, met Tieka from Selective Potential, won a dress from Lulu’s, and learned awesome new stuff that I can’t wait to put to work here. Isn’t it amazing that after almost 3 years of blogging, there is still so much to learn about it?!

Thank you Amy, Alana and the rest of the Blog Better Boston and Boston.com teams for putting on such an awesome event!

You should’ve seen Boo’s face when I walked out in this outfit. “Are you wearing a belly shirt?!”, he said. 

Why, yes. Yes I am. 

But please call it a crop top. The term belly shirt really creeps me out. 

See, I told you I wasn’t kidding around with this trend.

What I Wore: Blog Better Boston

Here we go - what I wore to the conference this past saturday. I’m really happy with what I put together, and it actually may be one of my favorite outfits as of late. 

I actually picked this top up at Buffalo Exchange just two days before. I wasn’t going to at first, seeing as I already have a polka dot problem. But I couldn’t resist. And I’m glad I didn’t!

It Doesn't Take Much To Make Me Happy

Back in the fall, the shoulder strap on my THEIT Bossi bag snapped. It was a sad, sad day my friends. Do you know how hard it is to constantly carry a heavy camera bag around on your arm? The answer is: pretty hard. That thing gets ridiculously heavy with all my crap in it. 

But the people over at THEIT were kind enough to send me a replacement strap. And when it arrived in the mail the other day, it literally made my week. Lame, I know, that just a bag strap could make me that happy. But I don’t think you understand just how heavy my bag is :)

My New Green Pants

worn on January 14th, 2011

Brrrrrr, it was really cold this weekend!

I wore this out on saturday for a little wedding filled morning with my friend Ashlee. We went wedding dress shopping for her (and found the one! Yay Ash!) and then grabbed some lunch where it was non stop wedding talk. I’m getting married in July, and she is getting married in September, so we have double the wedding fun!

There are a handful of shows and movies that, if on TV, I HAVE to watch them. Like Armageddon and Titanic. I guarantee you - if I come across either of those movies in the guide, I won’t bother looking any farther. They suck me in.

Lately, its been Storage Wars. I.Can’t.Look.Away. And there seems to be a marathon on as I’m typing this. So I guess the rest of my day is shot, ha.

Top Knot Drama

worn on November 17th, 2011

So, I’ve rocked the top knot quiet a few times now. And I’ve never felt weird wearing my hair this way - until I was editing these photos. Something seemed awkward about it. Is it too tall? Did I go a little excessive with my top know height? Or is it all in my head? How tall is too tall?

But other than that, I reaaaaally love this outfit. It was a happy accident, really. I never thought to pair these two tops together….. until I did. Obvs. And now I know that they were meant to be. 

P.s- As this is being posted, Boo and I are headed back to Buffalo for the week. It doesn’t matter how many times we make this trip, I will never completely get used to these 8 hour car rides. My bum already hurts.

Bright Lights, Big City

worn on October 17th, 2011

Unfortunately, this is the only other outfit shots from our time in NYC. We took one other set, but they didn’t turn out as good as I would like. Hopefully I’ll remember to re-create that outfit soon. Its unfortunate because I remixed the heck out of the few items I packed. 

But on to this outfit. After finding my dress the day before, we headed to Mood to find fabric to make my veil. I must say, its very me, and I’m just as excited about it as the dress! Hint - it maaaay involves polka dots and bows. Of course. 

p.s - I’ve taken outfit photos in public before. But in the middle of a busy NYC sidewalk? thats a first.

p.p.s - Thanks again seester for taking my photos!

That Time It Looked Like I Peed My Pants- But I Didn't

worn on June 3rd, 2011

I wore this out friday evening for dinner date night. Boo and I went to one of our favorite restaurants in Davis Square, where Boo proceeded to spill an entire glass of water all over me. I was soaked. And I sat there feeling like I had peed my pants - not a pleasant feeling.
