I scored these Alice + Olivia shorts the other day from Neiman Marcus. Would you believe these were down to $53 from $158? Then I only ended up paying $3 for them as I had a gift card. I love a good deal.
What's been the greatest deal you've ever snagged on something?
It was a meet, mingle, shop and sip at LIT Boutique last night in the North End.
It was great meeting Shanna-Marie of Shanna's Eye View who put the event together and Rebecca, the manager of LIT as well as fellow Boston Bloggers, Michael of Trendy Dwarf, Kristen of Boston Fashionista , Michele of Michele's Musings and Anosha of Locks & Trinkets.
I tried on a pair of super cute Naughty Monkey heels, but the sixes were a tad snug on my 6.5 feet. (Although I fit into size 5 Hunter boots, wtf?).
Thanks for the wonderful cupcakes (still need to know where those babies were from) and the lovely Votiva candles. Photos by photohogger.
It's getting chilly out. Time to break out the bigger duvet, the hot chocolate, the flannel! As much as I wanted to hibernate this weekend, we went for a long walk along the Charles River, it was the perfect weather to break out the flannel - except this shirt is not flannel at all, but cotton and not as heavy to walk in, as it was still warm on Sunday.
Reminded me of this shirt I saw a girl wearing in Amsterdam at one of the flea markets. She had a lot going on, but the shirt stuck out for me. Oh, and the LV bag. (photos by photohogger)
How do you like your flannel? Shirt/blazer/socks/sheets? Or not at all?
This summer we saw red pants all over the place. So, how about some red boots for fall?
I've hung onto my red Steve Madden boots over a few seasons, now. I purchased them a few seasons ago, and love wearing them when it's just starting to get chilly.
I saw many a boot in Amsterdam as it was quite cold and rainy over there.
These girls had red covered. (photographs by photohogger) How are you planning on wearing red this fall?
And stay tuned for a super chic jewellery giveaway from Esma Studios happening tomorrow!!

I just donated a polka dotted hoodie from H&M amongst other articles of clothing which didn't fit in the closets here (having moved from a house in the burbs of Ontario to an apartment in Cambridge). I also didn't know about the SIP and SWAP until too late, which would have been ideal for the boxes of clothes that we had. Still, it's a good thing I didn't get rid of all my polka dots, as it's all very trendy and happening this season.
It was also happening in Amsterdam. (photos by photohogger)
Are you en trend? Or an avid avoider of polka dots?
Missoni for Target had everyone in a frenzy. The website was down for some time, then Missoni items were all over Ebay. My sister went to Target and scored some really cute items for herself and for me! She got me this shirt and these pumps. The pumps are a bit loose on me so they may go back, but aren't they pretty?

Some of my girlfriends from Toronto were visiting this weekend, so I decided to wear my Missoni shirt for our day out and about in Boston on Saturday. I wore it with skinny jeans, pearls and sunglasses and because we were walking around, Converse and an army green jacket with rolled up sleeves.
We also had a ball of a good time shopping at the Wrentham Outlets on Friday. The girls scored a great deal at the Vince Camuto outlet as they were having a "Buy One Get One 1/2 off" sale. I almost bought the same pair as my BFF but then I would have had to employ the "Buy One Throw One Out" rule. ;)
Are you excited for the latest of collaboration with H&M? This time, it's Versace, coming Fall 2011. There will be 40 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men plus shoes and accessories.
Will you be standing in line when it launches? Have you ever stood in line for any of the past collaborations? Lanvin? Mathew Williamson? (Images via Pinterest)
I have two seersucker pieces, a pair of pants and shorts and they're so perfect for summer.
Stella McCartney's Spring RTW 2012 collection showcases a lot of Hawaiian prints, bright colours, black n' white, houndstooth and a lot of seersucker. 
The origin of the word and material can be traced to India (derived from Hindi's sīrsakar which in turn comes from the Persian word: shīroshakar = milk + sugar) and was worn by the British in India during the hot climates. It later made it's way to the U.S in the form of suits for Southern gentlemen.
So maybe something seersucker-y for Dad on Father's Day?
I love these gorgeous and hand-made Alexander Olch seersucker ties.
Great seersucker and gingham short sleeved shirt.
Perfect for the summer, a seersucker bathrobe!
Summer weekend shorts from L.L.Bean.
The straw fedora is so popular this summer; I have to admit I have one too, which I bought at a flea market in Paris last summer, and love wearing it with everything from dresses to shorts and a t-shirt.
In Montreal hats were a popular accessory, too. Do you have a particular hat that you like to sport on a hot sunny day? (Images photohogger)
Refinery29 just annouced the launch of Luxemi.com, the online source for lovely indian clothing, which you can RENT from too. If you've ever been to an Indian wedding or function, you know how expensive those outfits can be, not to mention the accessories (which btw, they rent out, too!) and often times you'll only wear a sari, that you bought for $$$, once! Sign me up!

I used to have a black pleated midi skirt that I gave away a long time ago. Don't you regret doing that when the style comes back? I love how graceful these pleated skirts look, and how perfect for summer?
What's your summer style? Are you a skirts and dresses person or a shorts and t-shirt person?
