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!

Every day's the 14th!




I am so lucky to have the love that I have in my life, and to me, Valentine's day is just another day to celebrate that love.

Here are some perfect things and places to go and be for the ideal Valentine's day:


  • For the person with the ability to splurge... go the most romantic place on earth, Deetjen's Big Sur Inn. I took the picture above when Anthony and I visited last June, I can't even comprehend how magical it would be this time of year... 
  • If you are a local Boston resident, and you are anything like me you will stay home and order in! If you are looking to head out though I would suggest the classic french intimate dining of Petit Robert we have one right down the street and it just always feels special whenever we go!
  • If you are looking to get a little something for your parents of friends I would suggest these adorable heart shaped handwarmers! They are so cute and inexpensive!
  • I always find that a heartfelt card is just the absolute best thing to get anyone.. here are some of my favorite quirky cards for the one you love from Wit & Whistle! I love the mix tape card with a tailored playlist and burned CD (scary that this could be considered retro now) 
  • Better than any present I can think of - Make a donation in someone's name! I always think that's just the kindest and most thoughtful gift!
Go spread the love folks!
