If there's one thing New Englanders have down, it's cold-weather gear. Sure, our blood thickens up a bit in the colder months, so you might see us outside in just a fleece when it's late March, but at the start of the season you can be sure we're prepared for those cold days! There are three pairs of casual winter boots that have stood the test of time in my closet. If you're new to the Boston area, or you're just visiting and want to know what you should pack, here's what you'll see a lot of …

Mommy and Me Gingham
If I could choose only one pattern to wear for the rest of my life, it would have to be gingham. There's something about it that makes me happy. When I found matching "mommy and me" outfits for me and E, I knew I had to get them for our Sedona trip. I call this "the country club dress" because it has the most perfect collar.

I had planned to order a bunch of stuff early in the morning and then do a try on haul later, but I'm so glad that I decided to go to the store and try on there instead - many of the items I wanted to buy fell short (literally). A lot of bloggers I love to follow for style are somewhere around 5'3" so when I order what looked like an oversized sweater on them, it may be a …
What I Wore Last Week
With all of the overly styled photos on Instagram and blogs these days, I have been drawn to posts that include quick snaps and real outfits. Remember the days when bloggers didn't all have professional photographers on staff?? Anyway... I decided to share my phone photos to show what I actually wear during the week! Last week we were on vacation at the Cape (aka Cape Cod), and the temps were in the mid-80s with high humidity. That's definitely a heat wave on the Cape, where it's …
