Tell Me About Yourself...

I don't typically go into too much detail about my personal life on the blog. I feel that bits and pieces are appropriate but oversharing when it comes to my love of fashion, clothes and nice things is totally fitting. Thank you to Design Darling's Mackenzie Horan for starting the "So Tell Me About Yourself" feature on her blog. It's great to learn little tidbits about bloggers I follow and I thought I'd join the trend.

Summer Wishlist

I can't believe it's already the end of May! The weather has warmed up quite a bit in the last week or so and before we know it, it'll be in full-on summer. I've already stocked up on some good summer work dresses but I could use a few more summery staples like a good pair of sandals, a lightweight tote bag, a fun summer dress for nights out and some bright jewelry. 

BP color block sandals / Tory Burch canvas tote / Kate Spade earrings / Rebecca Taylor Asymmetrical V Neck Dress

What do you have your eye on for the summer months?

Weekend Recap

Back from a long weekend in Ithaca, NY for my little sister's graduation! We were back at my alma mater and spent some time as a family, visited a winery and heard David Boreanaz from Bones give the commencement speech. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

Graduation Dresses

I'm in the midst of the graduation tour of America. We're headed to Ithaca, NY for my sister's college graduation this weekend and I've packed some great dresses for the weekend's festivities. I've still been browsing for a possible last minute dress to add to my collection and found these great ones from JCrew, ShopBop and Lilly Pulitzer.

 JCrew Sheath Dress / DVF Sandine V-Neck Sheath Dress /  Nanette Lepore White Dress / Alice + Olivia Blue Polka Dot Dress / Lilly Pulitzer Delia Dress 

Happy Graduation to all of those graduating this year!

Whirlwind Week

We had our big work conference at the Boca Raton Resort & Club...this is the entrance. 

Just one of the many cool pieces of art at the hotel.

View of the golf course at the Boca Raton Resort.

This was my bf and I after a long three days of the conference and the gala dinner.

Some of my colleagues stayed at this mansion in Ocean Ridge, Florida.

This was the view from the mansion.

This was the amazing pool and patio.

The lovely back deck.

From Florida, I went straight to my brother's MBA graduation at UMass Amherst.

Then we went to the Red Sox/Blue Jays game at Fenway.

Heather Abbott, injured at the Boston Marathon, threw out the first pitch.

After the game, we went down to Copley Square to see the memorial.

Hope everyone had a great week last week! I finally had a chance to rest and relax yesterday and spend some time with my family.
