I will never stop feeling charmed by Boston’s North End. It is just so adorable – like being transported back to a quaint European world. Today while catching up on some sibling time with my brother, we stumbled upon this hidden courtyard of brick and wiry plants. A place so sweet all I needed was a cannoli and some twinkling lights.
I dug this dress out of my closet today, which sadly has not seen the light of day too often. I remember spotting it years ago at an expensive store, putting it down after I saw the price tag, and then finding it almost a year later at the Saks outlet. Yes this is a true story indeed (and for much, much less mind you). It was a touch too big for me at the time (nothing a tailor can’t fix), but its graphic flowers, and brick reds, golden browns and deep navy made it too hard to put down. Long story short, I need to wear this more often, and fall just might be the perfect time to finally start showing it off!
that dress is amazing. i haven't been to boston in lord knows how long, i miss it.

Lovely dress (as usual) and I also love your green belt! It's definitely a great fall ensemble. I've been wanting to visit Boston's North End for a while after reading about it in Jane Jacobs book. Apparently it used to be considered a disaster and all the urban planners wanted to tear it down, but she visited, thought it was a really special neighbourhood, and wrote about it in a way that revolutionized Urban Planning. There's your trivia for the day?
