ON THE WILD SIDE

on-the-wild-side

Animal print has long been a style staple in my wardrobe. I vividly remember the first time I chose to purchase something of the like. It was 2001, my sophomore year of high school, and I donned a strapless, floor length Jessica McClintock tiger print dress to homecoming that year. (Speaking of which- who else was a Jessica McClintock fan? Her dresses were the JAM at my high school!) I believe it even had rhinestones on the bodice. And I’ll be damned if I wasn’t proud of that dress. Looking back on it now, it was ridiculous at…

You throw like a girl. You run like a girl. You hit like a girl. You cry like a girl.If you ever spent any time on a grade school playground, odds are someone has said one of these statements to you at some point. Granted, it’s usually uttered in jest as sort of a “hey, bro!” insult, but telling someone you do something like a girl has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not a fan of the insinuation that doing something like a girl means you are less than: less than capable, less than strong…

NOTORIOUS LBD

It’s true you can never really go wrong with a little black dress (LBD). And stocking your closet with a few go-to options is one of the smartest ways to do your wardrobe right. Whether dressed up or dressed down, for work or for play, a good LBD is almost always appropriate. And easy. And sometimes you just need easy! But as we all know very well, the moment you realize you’re in need of a really good go-to dress is precisely the moment you won’t be able to find one. (Why oh why does…

I THINK I K(AFT)AN, I THINK I K(AFT)AN

There’s a lot we can learn from The Little Engine That Could. The saying goes, “I think I can. I think I can,” doesn’t it? He thought he could. So he did. And that my friends, is called manifesting abundance.I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about an abundant mindset; about the value of positivity and about what we put out into the universe through our own thoughts. In life, it’s up to us to either see the world as abundant or limited; as glass half full or glass half empty. And I have a…

WELL (JUMP) SUITED

Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…

SPRING TEES

If you follow me on Instagram, than I’d like to apologize for becoming one of those really annoying people that can’t stop taking pictures of every single blooming tree, flower bed, and plant I pass by. Call me #BASIC, but Boston is one hell of a good looking city, especially in the Springtime, especially when this winter kicked my ass the way it did, and especially when I spent the last two weeks in bed with a sinus infection. At this point, I pretty much just want to call a timeout on life and roll around on the…

THIS OR THAT │10 Questions + Story Templates

Hey, Instagrammers! Has anyone else been really enjoying those “this or that”/ “get to know me” templates floating around insta-story lately? They remind me of a combination of those old Cosmo magazine quizzes and the chain email questionnaires we all used to forward to our friends in the good old days of AOL. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don’t you think?I’ve gotten a few questions about where to get these templates, so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing a few of my favorite graphic designers/bloggers who have templates you…
