This past weekend, with our friends here visiting, we wandered alllllll over Boston. And there is one thing for certain - I will never get sick of taking photos of this city.
Mixing It Up
Oy, Monday. I could really use some Starbucks right now. And maybe a kick in the butt to get me moving.

In My Life
» 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!

Wide Leg
I don’t wear these pants nearly as much as I should. They’re definitely a show stopper. A closet superstar. A crowd favorite. And yet for some reason, I tend to shy away from them a lot.
Note to self: wear these pants more.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...
There are a few things I just can’t get enough of this summer:
» Pineapples. Also documented here and here.
» Hair wraps/ scarves/ whatever you want to call them. This seriously has become my signature style. Almost every day, fo realz. Documented here, here, here, and here ( to name a few).
And all in one outfit? Love love love. Do you have any style obsessions this summer?

Sailing, Takes Me Away
I wish I could be out on the water right about now. A cool breeze. Toes in the ocean. Because, MAN, it is hot outside.
A Weekend In Vermont
Boo and I had a belated anniversary celebration this past weekend. We drove up to Stowe, Vermont for a quick adventure filled couple of days. I was on a mission for this trip - mission waterfalls. And we saw two! I was even brave enough to wade into the swimming hole at the bottom of one (it was so freakin cold, it actually took my breath away).
Other highlights from the trip - we went kayaking and hiking, saw Stowe from high up above, tried out an alpine slide, had the most delicious maple creme brûlée, and finished off the night with a fun game of mini golf. It was a super great weekend! Even with all the bug bites, muddy legs, and sore muscles that came along with it :).
In My Life
» As I mentioned at the beginning of the week, Boo and I spent a looooot of last weekend in the car between Boston, Buffalo, and Cleveland. There was a bridal shower, a bachelorette party, fireworks, catching up with friends, rain, sunshine, delicious pancakes, a one year anniversary, baby Liam cuddles, fishing, bonfires, s’mores, family time, and way too many photos of the sky from the car. Phew, that was one jam-packed weekend.
» Speaking of our belated anniversary, we’re taking a short trip up to Vermont this weekend, and I am so excited! Three years we have lived in MA, and we have yet to travel to other parts of New England.
» How cute is this overalls dress?! This purse, too.
» You may have noticed that I haven’t had any Design Diary posts to share with you. If you follow Megan, you’ve probably seen that she has decided to take a step back from the shop right now. Which also means that she will be slowing down with the blog too (read Megan’s post here), and therefore I won’t be working on any more projects. Boooooo :(. But I still am sewing a lot, and hopefully I’ll start sharing those projects more here on HollyDolly!
