new bag!

Purchased this bag today while walking around nantucket town! I saw it and absolutely could not help myself. I love all the colors and it will go with so many outfits. I’m just going to take it with me everywhere. I figured it must have been a sign when I saw it today in the store window because I was dreaming about it all last night. Clearly, we were meant to be together.

Orla Kiely.

Don’t you just aDORE Orla Kiely? I DO. It’s so retro fabulous, I just love it all. So far my only Orla Kiely item is the wallet I got for my birthday last year. It’s the best. I just love looking online at her adorable bags. I hope to get one soon. Also, I heard they have Orla Kiely kitckenware at Target, but everytime I go I don’t seem to see any. AND it’s not on their website either. BOO. I think the mugs are great. Maybe I should just order some online. They would totally go with my pseudo vintage anthropologie kitchen. Not like I need anymore mugs or anything. But all the same, I want them. I’ve posted some of my favorite items below. Everything is just so adorable I can hardly stand it. JOY!

cardigans.

Yesterday, while at the Atrium Mall, I bought 2 new cardigans for my collection. I love the colors. Very neutral. Very fall.
This color is called antique stone.









And this one is called buff pink. A little hard to tell it’s pink from the picture but it’s PRECIOUS.






And, I must add the item Meg purchased. Because it’s also precious. Looks great on too:

Oh, jcrew… how we love you.

beacon hill.

Beacon Hill is hands down the most adorable neighborhood in Boston. It’s just so quaint and old fashioned, almost like you’ve stepped back in time. The streets are lined with brick rowhouses and are so narrow the trees cover the roads creating a canopy overhead. The sidewalks are brick too, and there are gaslights for many of the street lamps. I was just over there tonight because two of my friends just moved into a super sweet apartment on Temple Street. It’s SO Beacon Hill and beautiful. I hope to be over there again soon, helping decorate rooms and such (one of my life passions). I think my favorite part of Beacon Hill though has to be Charles Street on “the flat of the hill”. It has tons of cute shops and delicious little places to eat. Just love walking around there on a sunny Saturday. It’s the definition of classic. LOVE Beacon Hill!!
