Restaurant Week is in full swing here in Boston and it's a great opportunity to try new spots at a good price. It's also a good time to wear the mumu and/or paper bag inspired dress that hangs so perfectly and makes any frame look svelte.

Thank you J for the wonderful pics!

Just wanted to share a few quick shots from my trip to Napa. We had such an amazing time -- I can't wait to go back!

What says summertime more than sunflowers?

Ram's Gate takes the cake for best architecture AND best sauvignon blanc!

Duckhorn Vineyards

Look at this scenery! Sterling Vineyards (you take a gondola up to the winery -- how cool?)

California Love

Dress: J.Crew Factory (on sale HERE); Wedges: Michael Kors (similar HERE); Rings: ASOS (similar HERE); Nail polish: OPI Alpine Snow

Greetings from San Francisco! Can I just move here already? The absence of humidity alone is reason enough for me to say "sayonara" to the East Coast. The weather has been perfect since I've been here and I know it's been capital C crappy in Boston the last few days so I'm really not looking forward to my flight tonight. I wore this cute little number to my cousin's graduation party on Saturday. Love the embroidery! Not to mention it was roomy enough for me to eat my weight in guacamole. AND it has pockets. JACKPOT!

Thanks Mommabear for the pics!

Sometimes all a girl needs are some polka dots and a red lip to put the pep back in her step. Oh, and a little sunshine never hurts.

I've always felt a special connection to the hippie era. Maybe it's the fact that I was raised in a mostly-carefree small town where we listened to Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. Years later, I still tap into my hippie side once in a while, as evidenced by today's outfit. I used to make fun of my mother whenever I would see pictures of her in bell bottoms. She'd always say "they were so cool back then -- I was so cool!" And here I am sporting similar pants, funny how that works. I have a feeling my future children will do the same to me some day.

L's Spring 2013 Wish List

With New York Fashion Week in full swing and a blizzard looming, all I can do to get through the long day is think about warm weather clothes. I'm obsessed with what's trending this season and can't wait to get my hands on the items above. As we all know by now, emerald has been named color of the year. A color I don't typically gravitate towards but plan to work into my spring wardrobe with accessories and nail color (LOVE the idea of emerald green nails!)

Black and white is already my go-to color combination (as last seen HERE) so I'm psyched to see all the graphic black and white on the runways lately. Stripes are also huge. Never thought I'd be drawn to striped heels but this Zara pair is killer. And the number one item on my spring wish list is this gorgeous floral belted dress from Prabal Gurung's collection for Target -- debuting Sunday, February 10!

Clockwise from top left: Topshop Cutout Dress / Kate Spade Sunnies / Mara Hoffman Beaded Tank / Prabal Gurung for Target Dress / Zara Striped Blouse / Michael Kors Ostrich Clutch / Piperlime Cuff / Zara Striped Heels

What's on your wish list for spring?

Cobalt + Leopard

Dress: J.Crew Factory (another cute one HERE); Wedges: Sole Society; Bracelets: Stella & Dot; Bag:  Michael Kors

Quick Friday post for you guys today! One of my favorite color combinations lately is cobalt and leopard. The saying is true -- leopard is the new black. Don't you agree?

Have a great weekend!

Around Boston: Lux Bond & Green + Ippolita

Last Thursday I attended a fabulous event at Lux Bond & Green on Boylston Street in Boston. The lovely Shauna invited us to sip on champagne, nosh on yummy apps, and check out the new Ippolita collection. (Which was absolutely stunning!) We also got to donate some of our designer duds to the Fashion Project to benefit UNICEF. So not only did we get to enjoy a fun night out, but we got to give back to a great cause. 

Me & Guida of LoveMyOutfit.com

Party-goers tweeted throughout the night and jewels were given away at random... Guess who got to take this beauty home with her?!

Top: Piperlime; Leather-trim skirt: Piperlime (similar HERE); Wedges: Sole Society (similar HERE); Necklace: Stella & Dot; Bag: Michael Kors; Nails: Essie "Skirting the Issue"

Thank you to everyone who made this event a hit. And to Lux Bond & Green for the gorgeous necklace! I will be back soon, for sure!

Fringed Beatle Booties

Dress: Urban Outfitters; Faux Leather Jacket: old, similar HERE; Booties: Sam Edelman; Bag: Michael Kors

The weather in New England right now isn't quite sure what it wants to do. It's been raining and cold one day, sunny and warm another. I refuse to succumb to my collection of tights until I absolutely have to. If this weekend's forecast is any indication of things to come, I will be wearing them by next week. But until then, I will happily embrace my bare legs. 

I love the idea of pairing beatle booties with cute little dresses but they also look great with cords tucked into them. Plus the short heel makes them perfect for a manic day around the office. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Fashion's Night Out Boston

Last night I was privileged enough to attend the Neiman Marcus and Boston Common Magazine Fashion's Night Out party at Copley Place. The highlight of the night were definitely the fashion shows and they did not disappoint. I've been in total resistance of admitting that the fall season is upon us, but after seeing the gorgeous selection of clothing last night, I'm ready. 

The trends I'm most excited for this seasons are mixed greens, "borrowed from the boys", and LEATHER! There were so many beautiful colors of leather that I had never considered wearing prior to last night. Now I am in desperate need of a pair of supple, cobalt blue leather pants. Or oxblood. Or greige. Or a bigger bank account.

Vegan Leather Top: Piperlime; Jeans: J Brand; Heels: Miu Miu (Glitter version HERE); Bag: Michael Kors; Necklace: Stella & Dot; Bangles: F21 & The Fashion Truck

Don't forget to enter my INPINK giveaway! The clock is ticking -- giveaway ends Friday, September 14.

Happy Friday!
