Community Garden.

A few days ago Simon and I went on a little trip to the pond. As lovely as it was, the lighting wasnt very choice there so outfit photos were probably not gonna happen, though I looked very cute. I had just cut my bangs back into pin up style. Well, on out way home, the community garden was open! I have been dieing to pop in and look at everything. It was well worth the wait. There were so many flowers! As well as all kinds of fruits and vegetables.







So I was going for this 1960's french pin up look. The striped shirt, is the first striped shirt Ive worn in years. I like tiny stripes, it made my shirt look almost grey-ish. Topped off with a bright red bandanna.




I even brought Chanel out.


It was a successful and stylish trip. I love black and white with bright, bold red accents. Well! I got a new tattoo today! Adding yet another artist to my lovely collection. I had my knee tattooed a bit and let me tell you it didnt feel awesome. Im glad its over. Looks amazing thought. Its only Tuesday and the week is already looking up. My friend Ed-E is in town from Florida! So I will be seeing him for the next 2 weeks! Take it easy my lovely readers! Xoxoxo!

Brunch for Simon.

This past weekend I had told my roommate Simon I would make us brunch because Ive had this bottle of champagne just sitting in our fridge, and the only real thing to drink with it was to make mimosas! Obviously he was down. Well Saturday came and I didnt make it home in time, so Sunday, around 1 in the afternoon, we were just sitting around and I decided to make brunch. I had Simon run out to the store and grab a few things while I cleaned up the kitchen and started getting things ready. It was time for brunch!





Looks delicious right? Scrambled egg/omelet thing with red, green, and orange bell peppers, onions, spinach, goat cheese and a little bit of love.


Simon has to admit it, Im a pretty damn awesome roommate, I did everything! 1950's style. I was more than happy to do this for us. Ive really been much happier with my living situation.


The end result! I even garnished the plate with extra veggies, and fresh cut strawberries. Its all about the presentation.


Simon said it was soooo good. It was a simple meal to make, but it was a lot of fun. We drank that whole bottle of champagne too haha. If you're in town and want brunch, hit me up haha! Well that concludes this post, I hope you're hungry now and please! Recreate this meal for yourself and friends! Xoxo my lovely readers!

The good, the bad and the Lovely.

I have been so busy lately I havent had time for outfit photos! I finally got around to it and set up the camera outside on my balcony. It was a gorgeous day out and the lighting was nicely shaded. I bought the shorts in these photos in Florida and they are my favorite shorts at the moment. I decided to wear something more night time appropriate at first, then had to have the "good" version of it. So for today, you get to see the good, the bad and the Lovely side of things.









So now I have 2 cross rings that I will wear all the time! I also finally painted my nails this awesome mint color I bought at Forever21 for like $2.80. Love it! Also finally fixed my bangs to look better that they were. I have shaved both sides of my head now and it feels great!




I dont know how some other bloggers do it, make the time for everything. I work such weird hours now that when I get home I just want to enjoy the fact that Im home and relax. I had fun taking photos again. The concept was fun. I try to have a plan of attack when I get dressed. There should be a theme for every outfit. I hope everyone else has been doing good and staying out of trouble! I will be getting into plenty of that this weekend. Enjoy! XOXOX!

The Red House farmers market

Working at The Red House has been an experience thats for sure. Always something new coming your way. Well, The Red House and Charlies Kitchen (owned by the same owners) has their own certified organic farm, and the Harvard Square farmers market is back open for business. If you havent been, you should defiantly check it out. Its every Friday in the square, 12-6. My friend Jesse of Boston Bites ( <--- Click to go to his food blog!) has been running it with another co-worker from Charlies Kitchen. I decided to go support The Red House and check out the lunch sandwiches they made.

Mt. Auburn Cemetery (part 2)

Here is the second half of my trip to the Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Since Simon had agreed to take my photo, and I knew I was going to a place that was picture perfect, I threw an extra outfit in my bag. The photos turned out great, we waited and picked the perfect spot. It was like a Grecian heaven.







The flowers were sooooooo beautiful!






Simon did such a great job I was so happy he took my photo. We had a lovely trip and even had some snacks while we were there.


So I have been working soooooo much lately. I also just moved into my new apartment. On top of everything I got sick last weekend too so there was just so much going on. I havent had much blog time with work and brunch dates all the time now. I am now working blogging into my new schedule and adjusting to that slowly. I love my new apartment and living situation. I love my job at the Red House because of all the good people there. Things have been really good for Lovely lately, just no time! I hope everyone has been doing just as lovely! Xoxo.

Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

So a few weeks ago I went to finally check out Mt. Auburn Cemetery with my roommate Simon. It was his idea and it was a great one. I had so much fun and he even offered to take my photo on this adventure. He's such a good friend. This cemetery was A. HUGE. B. Gorgeous. and C. Old. I was in awe the whole time I was there. While walking up this hill we came across this amazing tree and took a drink break there.





There were soooooo many graves! It was a very expensive and old cemetery.




Simon kept saying we were walking towards this massive tower and when we finally got to it, it was a sight to see. We climbed all the way up top and let me tell you, the view was amazing.


Simon






You could see so much from the top. There were just so many graves, we came across this huge Celtic cross, being Irish this was pretty cool.


So we got there around 12, and we didnt leave till 4:30. We spent sooooo much time there! I have over 100 photos it was very hard trying to decided which ones to use so I had to split this post up into 2 parts. Stay tuned for part 2!
Xoxoxo!
