» This week on Megan Nielsen Design Diary: a mason jar pin cushion DIY (above), and a hand sewn hems tutorial.
» Earlier this week, I was featured on the Modcloth Blog with my favorite vintage find. Check it out here.
» You guys, it is supposed to be warm this weekend. And by warm, I mean, like, 55 degrees. I’m going to all crazy and not wear any tights. And I’m super excited about it.

I don’t usually wear blazers. But after putting on this outfit, I’m not sure why. I may be a blazer person now.
New in the shop: Tassel Necklaces now come in black! Head on over to shopHollyDolly to check them out, as well as all the other goodies available.
Happy monday, my friends. How was your weekend?
Boo and I did a little shopping, skipped a big brunch for a Panera pastry and coffee breakfast instead, and took multiple naps on the couch. A perfectly laid-back couple of days.

» Are you fashion or style blogger in the Boston / New England area? Have you gotten your ticket to the Blog Better Boston : Style Summit yet? You should get on that! It’s going to be a pretty awesome day :)
» Amanda of Indie Jane recently featured my outfit in her “things I love" post, and also introduce me to these teas. They have collections based around the Harry Potter and Hunger Games characters. And now I think I need all of them.
» In other news : there is still snow on the ground, and I am listening to JT’s 20/20 Experience on repeat (like everyone else on the planet, I’m pretty sure).
This skirt is my latest project for Megan Nielsen Design Diary. But I was pretty much in love with the skirt and this outfit, so I thought I would share it here too. It’s the Kelly Skirt pattern, with a scalloped hem variation. You can see my scallop tutorial here, and this outfit over at Design Diary here. Hop on over and take a peek!

This weather is depressing me. So I’m making up for it with some delusional, pretend shopping. Here’s a look st what is in my fake shopping bag - leather shorts, lots of mint, open toes, and giraffes (obviously). And more glasses, too. I may already have 3 pairs, but I am now convinced that I need a little bit of color.
What’s on your Spring shopping bag?
It is snowing again as I type this. No, really. Snowing. Again. Mother Nature - I’m not happy with you right now. You’re giving me the weather and wardrobe blues.
I’m not a drinker. So I spent my St. Paddy’s day making brownies, craft shopping, and editing photos. But I still had to get some obligatory green mixed into my outfit yesterday and show some Irish pride. I didn’t want to let down my Irish heritage completely.
How was your St. Paddy’s day? Safe, I hope!
