Today I Wore: Acappella Concert Edition
26 Mar
Phew, this week was packed but super fun! From the start of the week until this morning, my acappella group Noteworthy, was singing our hearts out! We had our spring concert this past friday and I wanted to share my outfit with you!
We always hold our spring concerts in an old fire house, which was once the house for the Real World Boston! The place was packed, my family was sitting in the front row, and I got to sing my first solo!
As for my clothes, I decided to wear my red polka dotted dress, because the theme was spring, and polka dots are springy right?
All in all it was a great time, singing with some of the greatest people I have ever known including the lovely Stacia! She did an amazing job of Alice Smith’s Woodstock! Click here if you’d like to hear it!
And of course I had a bow!
Did you have an exciting week? What did you think of our songs? If you liked what you heard ‘Like’ Emerson College’s Noteworthy on Facebook, or listen to more of our songs on Youtube!*Hope you have a great week! And remember Sparkle On and Wear Bows*
Trendy Tuesday: The Shoes to Buy for Spring 2012
20 Mar
When it comes to accessories, there is only one thing that I love more than bows….shoes! As a shoe enthusiast this Trendy Tuesday will focus on the four top trends for this upcoming spring! From wedges, to flats, from florals, to brights there is something for you!
Wedges
I was a bit skeptical of the wedge look when the trends went from ankle booties to sandals, but this summer and spring will be filled with these adorable wedges! As a clutz, I love the addition of height with the stability of a wedge, and with all the fun colors there is a never ending variety of these shoes!
Floral
Florals? and Spring? It’s a no brainer. Yet these fun flats and wedges feature a variety of floral accents. Whether you like the bright neon flats with florals or these adorable Ked like sneakers, these shoes are perfect for adding a pop of spring color to your closet!
Two Tone or Capped Shoes
I have loved the two toned shoe trend for over a year now, but this past season has seen a great increase in the popularity of these fun flats! I adore the heart embossed flats from Asos, or the incredibly valued Old Navy blue tipped flats!
T-Bar Shoes
The T-Bar shoes bring a bit of vintage to ordinary flats and wedges. I adore the reebok canvas shoes, which would be perfect for a day on the beach!
What shoes will you be wearing this Spring? Are you a fan of the wedge sandal look? Let me know!
Today I wore: St. Patrick’s Day!
19 MarAh, one of my favorite holidays has come and gone, but it was certainly fun while it lasted! Boston is such a fun place to be during St. Paddy’s from the parades to the pubs this city has it all. I decided to opt for a quieter holiday and celebrated with a few friends, all while wearing green of course!
I decided to go simple with the green, starting with this lovely mint lace top, with a black skirt, polka dotted tights and these amazing heels that I got for only $11! Such Irish luck.For accessories I wore this adorable necklace that my boyfriend made for me out of a 2 pence Irish coin! And of course to top it all of, I used a 5o cent bow tie as my sparkly hair bow!
Outfit: Top-Forever 21, Shoes-Lulu Townsend, Skirt- H&M, Tanktop-Aerie, Tights- H&M

Erin go Brach! Ireland Forever! And Happy (early) St. Patrick’s Day! If you couldn’t tell, St. Patrick’s day is one of my favorite holidays!

So whether you don’t want to get pinched or want to add a bit of green to your closet, these looks are for you!
Monday Musings: Ottavio and Rosita Missoni

The husband and wife design team behind the Missoni label, have created great designs, and culminated a unique history. Read on for fun facts about this atypical story behind the creations of Ottavio Missioni, and Rosita Jelmini Missoni!
