Where are you Springtime?

Flowers and image from Wild Folk Studio

I'm at the point in the year when I just can't stop thinking about how good sunshine would feel - longing for jacket free days and full days spent outside. On a snowy, icy day like today it's hard to remember that Spring is just a couple weeks away. Here's some things to get you in the mood for your world to turn green and warm again. 

Wild Folk Studio, opened by Caroline O'Donnell uses locally sourced flowers to make the most beautiful arrangements, and they can even be delivered once a week if you want! (I want!!)

Patio season is coming! Here are a few of my all time favorites in the city: Sam's, B&G Oysters, Harvest, and the old classic Parish Cafe

Spring cleaning? Here's a great way to organize some of the things that feel like they never find their way home.

Invest in a new pair of sunnies. I love these for the ladies and these for the fellas - don't you always feel ten times cooler in a great pairs of shades?

Get a new picnic/beach blanket, this one will make you look like the coolest person in the Commons. 

Also, The Great Gatsby movie is finally going to come out in May, and I can't wait any longer!

We signed up for a local CSA this year, and I can't wait to start getting fresh veggies from Boston's last working farm - Allandale Farm. 

This lip crayon will also give you the perfect pink lip! And even better - Tarte is all natural and great for your lips. 

Until then hang tight - things are going to warm up soon.

Don't Deny Your Heart

June is here! Which means the boyfriends 5 year college reunion at our Alma Mater in Northern Vermont. I will take an excuse to get up to Burlington and relax, especially if it means staying in the same housing we stayed in senior year! It was a great trip, and the picture above is from a Magic Hat bottle cap and the old roomies sharing a seat on a picnic table and some laughs. I am not sure if it's actually a "rule" but since I have been enjoying magic hat the rule was you could never read the caps aloud you always had to pass the good ones over to your friend to read... probably just a little superstition but it was always fun! If you can get your hands on some magic hat I would suggest you do so! It's my fave.

Back in Boston there is a lot going on here are some things I am getting excited about this month:

• We are in the market for new bedding and I have been lurking this online for a few weeks... It's just perfect, love the pattern and linen in the summer = dreamy
• I am teaching myself how to make friendship bracelets again using this tutorial (it is not as easy as you remember)
• I love this tank it cracks me up and is perfect for wandering farmer's markets (both for staying cool and looking cool) 
• Cappuccino Pops? Needed these yesterday.
• I have been sunburnt once in my whole life.. and I vowed to never let it happen again (I always wear SPF 30 - trust me you can still get tan) but for the boyfriend who swears he doesn't need SPF... I saw this and thought "GENIUS!" 

Enjoy the sun but wear sunscreen and drink cold Magic Hat!
