The Arboretum

Last week I went to what I might call the most beautiful place in Jamaica Plain, right down the street from my house. I went to the Arboretum, and its this HUGE park, or some might call it a zoo for trees. It was GORGEOUS! I went on a beautiful day with my friends Simon, Andrew and even Tegan joined us. With beer and snacks in tow, we spent the afternoon laying in the grass and enjoying the trees. Some were just breath taking. Some spots of the park looked like unicorns once lived there.

These pictures dont do the park justice at all, but you can kinda see what I mean, this place is gorgeous. I have since gone back 3 times now and plan on going back a lot more. Its right down the street! I took Katie there the other day, we also had 2 beers and some strawberries. There were so many great places to sit down and so many spots for outfit photos! I decided on pants because I knew we were going to do some exploring, but the next time I go Im just going to throw a cute outfit in my bag and play dress up in the woods haha. If you live in the Boston area, you have to go. Until next time my lovely readers! Xoxo!

Easter treasures

So catching up, here are my Easter photos! Easter this year I did not go to church, it was the first year. I went and spent Easter with Tegan's lovely family again and let me tell you it was awesome. I did miss my family and my looking for my Easter basket, but dinner was just delicious. 5 star quality if you ask me. Mary also sent me Easter stuff, which made me feel really happy and I even got some Publix cookies!!! The best cookies, straight from Florida. Easter is the one holiday I really try not to wear dark colors for or black, I go out of my way to look "clean cut". I found this dress, it was chosen out of 3, and it was just perfect.

That purse was only $2 at a thrift store in Florida. I almost didnt buy it but Im so glad I did, it was a huge success at dinner. It is a great spring purse.

The necklace Im wearing was given to me by Mary, it was her mother's. The colors in it matched perfectly with my dress! I also wore my Gram's purple butterfly pin, so I had my family present with me.

Easter was so lovely, it was a gorgeous day out as well. I called my family back home and got to talk to them. Its weird being away for the holidays now, but Tegan's family is always so welcoming. I hope you all had a lovely Easter as well! XOxo my lovely readers!

April Showers

Wow I havent been up with this at all. I am an awful blogger at the moment. To much to catch you up with but needless to say I had to take some time away and regroup. Life in the fast lane has been moving a little to fast for me and sadly my blog had to take a back seat. Just because I havent posted anything doesnt mean I havent been taking outfit photos! I have some lovely posts coming up. With that, did anyone else in the Boston area notice how much rain we got? It truly was April showers. In between the rain, I managed to sneak up to the roof to capture a sweet interview outfit. The top, I bought at Second Time Around on Newbury Street, it is one of my favorite button downs, I love the ruffles.

It was time to head back inside and head out! I threw on my favorite faux motorcycle jacket.

This jacket is so awesome. My Grams bought it for me years ago at a Wet Seal that was closing, it was on sale, and it only cost $8!!!! I wore the heck out of it when I lived in Florida and I brought it back up here with me, and have been wearing it everywhere. The funny thing is, a lot of my friends thought it was real hahaha, its just vinyl! I love it.

I looked so sharp, I nailed the job interview and I am now serving at The Red House in Harvard Square. If you're around the Cambridge area, Ill be serving beers outside on Fridays! So in the mists of catching up with my blog, I hope that my readers are still sticking around even though Ive had a long hiatus. I hope you all are doing well and are staying out of trouble! Dont give up on me just yet haha. Lots of love!! XOxox!!
