Weekend Recap

Phew, I'm tired. Going straight into a busy weekend from an exhausting week long trip has left me feeling like I need to sleep for three days. But, it was a pretty great weekend. Saturday was Caitlin's Wedding Shower and it was so much fun. Everyone looked so festive and fun in their summer dresses and strappy heels. There were delicious things to eat like Sarah's first time ceviche with shrimp and scallops, black bean salad, caprese skewers, and a green salad with goat cheese and strawberries. And of course there was a wonderful array of gourmet cupcakes for dessert that made a simply stunning centerpiece. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and we spent the entire day outside. Oh, I almost forgot about my dress! This spectacular orange number once belonged to my grandmother. Yes, my mother's mother wore this in the 70's. Pretty amazing, huh? I've actually had it for quite a while but this is the first time I've worn it. There was a built in bra that needed to be taken out and I made straps from the original halter and now it fits me perfectly. I absolutely love wearing pieces that have family history, I'm really lucky to be able to do so. Thanks for saving great pieces Gram! I paired the dress with my gold seashell belt, an adorable owl pendant necklace, and my gyroscope-esqe ring. That evening was spent at Carrie's adorable cottage in the woods in Westport, MA where we goofed off, ate more food, and played with fireworks. Don't worry everyone left with all limbs attached.







Sunday was another sunny day that I spent in Boston at the South End Open Market. It was a bit slower than usual due to the holdiay, but a fun day nonetheless. I am in total jewelry overload so come find your new favorite summer piece! I'll be there again this Sunday so come say hello!
