Springing Myself Into Spring

Spring has sprung is springing? The calendar may say spring but it just isn't looking that way in this wonderful place we call New England. I am trying my hardest to incorporate spring colors and items into my outfits but this weather just isn't making it easy. I find the only way I can do it is by wearing bright colors and fabulous accessories like the Sara Allie Bracelets. I recently added these to my jewelry collection and I am so excited, the colors work perfectly with my wardrobe and I also have two personalized bracelets in my stack. I have one that says A&D (Ashley and Danny) and the other say L&J (Lisa and Jimmy aka mom and dad). Be sure to check out their Instagram as well as their etsy page!

I was hoping for a sunny afternoon in Boston but in New England weather fashion, we ended up with snow flurries at the end of March. My cousin Ariana and I enjoyed lunch at the Beantown Pub and took a stroll down Newbury and stopped at my favorite store, In the Pink. These bright pink hunter boots were a hit on Newbury street, I think people are just dying to see spring and summer clothes and less fur and North Face. Dear weather Gods, PLEASE bring us sunshine!

Lilly Pulitzer for Target

Hello Thursday and hello Lilly Pulitzer lookbook for Target,

Today the lookbook was revealed for the April 19th release and I am ecstatic. There are lots of mixed emotions about this collaboration and how it will effect the "Lilly" name and product but I think it is great. This collaboration is priced very well, most pieces under $40 including the iconic "Shift Dress" made ever so popular by Lilly herself. The line features items for Women (including plus sizes), children, beauty and home. Not only will the prices allow for more women to own Lilly Pulitzer but it is the first time Plus Sizes are being offered.

I have already started creating my "must haves" list and cannot wait to see the items in person on April 19th. Below are some of my must haves, what is everyone else planning on getting?

With Love,

Aruba 2015

Back to life, back to reality. Keep replaying this song in my head as I come back from a well spent week on "one happy island", Aruba. This was my dads first trip since his accident and you would never think he broke his neck a year and a half ago and spent nine months in the hospital. People were shocked when they heard the story, yes, of course we told EVERYONE we met. When you witness a miracle, it's hard to not tell every person you meet. I just wanted to share some photos on the blog since it has been a while and some of my outfits that I planned about six months in advance.
