<a href="http://instagram.com/p/vGaxZBmC-i/">A few weeks back</a>, I had the pleasure of meeting the founders of the coolest knit company in Boston: <a href="http://the3rdpiece.com/">The Third Piece</a>. These gals know their stuff - they make their own wool in beautiful earth tones, hand-knit <i>all</i> of their products with the help of a small team of knitting experts, and have caught the eye of some big name people (like Bergdorf Goodman), all while staying true to their longtime friendship.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I was excited to have the opportunity to style one of their beautiful handmade pieces - starting with the <a href="http://the3rdpiece.com/collections/scarves/products/the-beacon">'Beacon Scarf'</a> (more styles to come..!). I love the versatility of this piece, and I'd be lying if I didn't love how warm it is. I've already worn this scarf both ways, a million times, and don't see a chance of stopping.</center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whenever I'm in a rush, I reach for basics, and let my accessories make a statement. Especially during the colder months when I tend to wear a lottt more neutrals and dark colors. They're just easier to layer, and ultimately keep me looking chic - that's all we want in life, right? Easy dressing and impossibly chic results.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> That's why a great pair of sunglasses are a must to include in my basic arsenal (sooo many great choices <a href="http://www.smartbuyglasses.com/designer-sunglasses/general/-Women---------------------">here</a>). Although these <a href="http://www.smartbuyglasses.com/designer-sunglasses/Ray-Ban/">Ray Bans</a> are far from plain, they easily punch up an otherwise bland look (without trying too hard). </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's no secret that <a href="http://etsy.com/">Etsy</a> has some of the cutest jewelry, accessories, art, home goodies (you name it!) on the web. I love finding hidden gems on there that no one else likely has, and in turn support local, independent designers. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Which is why I was so excited when </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was recently introduced to </span><a href="http://9thelm.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">9th and Elm</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> - a flash sale site that cherry-picks the best fashionable, handmade designs, </span><a href="http://9thelm.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">allll in one place</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had so much fun discovering new designers and shopping through their goodies, that I almost fainted when I found these </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RobynBobbinMonograms" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">monogrammed chucks</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">.

<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For me, finding the perfect transition bootie is like finding the perfect LBD. I want something that isn't fussy, but simple and classic, with a walkable heel. But most of all, I don't want it to feel like a heavy cold-weather boot...at least not just yet. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1pgIeCH">These</a> are from Skechers (<a href="http://bit.ly/1pgIeCH">shop them here!</a>), and check all of the boxes off of my wish-list. They're classic and comfy. Plus they feel like I'm throwing on a pair of flats instead of boots. I'm secretly not ready to give up wearing my sandals on those warmer fall days.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since buying this dress, I have worn it so many different ways: with pops of red, dressed down with gladiator sandals, layered up with a preppy blazer or a more laid back denim jacket. Is there anything better than versatility (and Fridays)?</span></center>

Just a warning: you might see this dress quite a lot. I wear it IRL <i>a lot</i>.</span></center>

Originally I spotted this on a random (but very stylish) Boston gal while <strike>walking</strike> shopping around the city -- immediately thought it was DVF and swooned from afar. So I was surprised to find it hiding in the Zara sales rack last month. </span></center>

These pictures taken after a very exciting shoot with Marie Claire (pinch. me.) this past weekend with some of my fellow blogging ladies (catch a sneak peek <a href="http://instagram.com/p/qo73HXmC6R/">here</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/p/qpZNIYmCxw/">here</a>!).

<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Paired it with a fierce pair of <a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/collection-aw14/woman/shoes/high-heel-ankle-boot-sandal-c269191p2153146.html">cage sandals (obsessed)</a>, and a bright <a href="http://www.angelaroi.com/collections/all-handbags/products/palette-white-cross-body">white Angela & Roi bag</a>. </span></center>

Fingers crossed I'll have magazine(s) to send to my Babcia this October. Regardless of what happens the experience was once in a lifetime that I'll always remember and cherish.</span></center>

I had a blast styling <a href="http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/women-skyscape-runaround-shoes/IPO95?cid=M42890">skyscape's</a> new line, not only because I'm head-over-heels in love with their new patterns for summer, but because I got to share the spotlight with my blog BFF <a href="http://alliewears.com/">Allie</a>.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Quick story: when I was in high school, I wore heels to class, every. day. The end.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not anymore. Trust me, trying to navigate those pesky cobblestone sidewalks in stilettos is not cute. Yes I still love my highest heel, but I try (really hard) to stay focused and consider comfort as well as walkability when I'm shopping. I know, I'm getting old.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, when Kate Spade Saturday comes to Boston, and you find the most perfect nude summer HEEL there, and the first thought you have is 'I could wear these for DAYS', then you buy them. And I might go back for <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/heg3nc7ye">seconds (and thirds)</a>. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been feeling the black and white lately. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I had blonde hair I tried to stay far, far away from anything white (well, maybe not <i>too </i>far: evidence <a href="http://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/2013/09/that-paris-edge.html">here</a> + <a href="http://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/2013/08/snakeskin-things.html">here</a>). Even though I love the look, I felt that it just washed me out -- I have zero California blood in me that could help me not look painfully pale in white -- holla New England life.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, <a href="http://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/2014/02/gone-to-dark-side.html">ever since going brunette</a>, I've become a magnet to all things white. Funny how hair can re-inspire your entire outlook on how you dress.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In exactly 6 hours, I'm jetting off to the sandy seashore of Florida for a MUCH needed tropical escape (hello vacation mode). As a notorious over-packer, I tried really hard to grab basics that also play double duty: a shirt dress that can go from beach-cover up to <strike>happy hour</strike> dinner date, sandals that go with e v e r y t h i n g, a fun bag that can double as a carry-on, and bold sunnies that make you look like you're ready for paradise.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As my personal style evolves, I find that the way I shop changes. Obvious statement but listen: before I would find myself impulse shopping the second I saw a pretty print -- leaving me with a closet full of statement pieces and a tiny wedge of basics. Obviously setting myself up for I-have-nothing-to-wear syndrome. Not cool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">N0w-a-days I LIVE for the basics, and details are my new best friends. It's crazy, but I find myself wearing the same few pieces more and more. As a result, getting dressed in the morning is much more pleasant (and less messy -- aka less clothes thrown on my bed/sofa etc).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think I've worn this top, jean, shoe combo a few times on my blog, and a million more IRL. Throwing on an investment piece like this sporty, but still girly <a href="http://www.todd-duncan.com/cashmere-zip-jacket-cloud">cashmere jacket</a> makes my new approach worth it. It's not only the softest thing ever </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">with gorgeous notch and zipper detailing </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(um, <a href="http://www.todd-duncan.co.uk/index.html">Scottish yarn-makers</a> realllly know what they're doing), but another basic I know I can mix and match to my heart's desire. </span></div>

There are things you wait all year for (ahem, spring), and there are things you wait forever for -- like a perfect cashmere wrap/sweater/duster that feels like a cloud. A delicious, cozy, wonderful cloud that you never want to take off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To celebrate the beginning of spring, I couldn't think of anything better to pair this piece with than a floral frock, and muted colors. Although I am seeing it with a weekend cool look -- think ripped skinnies, a cool t and a pop of red...somewhere. But for now I'm on cloud nine. Literally.</div>

What I wore this Saturday when the day was actually magically springlike.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have been crushing hard on this pink coat trend. Which means it wasn't hard to click YES I WANT TO BUY YOU on this number. SO sad to report it is sold out! But love these options <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/gcvb2c7ye">here</a> and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/gcvcic7ye">here</a>. I can't wait until Boston jumps out of winter and on to spring so I can start playing with different looks. Although something tells me my impatience will get the best of me. </span></div>

<a href="http://dressedupallligators.blogspot.com/">

<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Although my guy and I will say we won't get anything for each other for V-Day, we will anyways without fail. With that said, I thought it would be more <i>us </i>if I showed a few date night ideas instead of a full blown gift guide. Here are four dates that we have either planned before, or are on our wishlist.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1: Recreate your first date.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On our first date (ever), my guy and I went out to dinner on Beacon Hill. It has been years since we've been back there together. But it would be a perfect way to celebrate by recreating that night, don't you think? I still remember exactly what I wore (it wasn't this look), and what we ordered. For 2014, I'd keep it classic, with some hearts thrown in for good measure.</span></center>

2. Plan a spontaneous getaway.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I love being spontaneous, my guy....not so much. How fun would it be to write some weekend getaway sites on slips of paper (think skiing, snow cabin, cute town you've always wanted to visit but never have etc.), and throw them in a hat. Set your alarm super early on V-day and pick one slip that will tell you where you are going. Then run and have a weekend you probably won't forget (even if it ends up being a day trip road trip. Any time spend together is a good one, amiright?).</center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Dinner at home</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Obvious? Yes. But, possibly a date you will have the most fun with. Wear something cute, crank the tunes and get cooking. We love making tacos, but something a little more challenging might be fun here. Don't forget to finish it off with a bottle of wine (or a case of beer) and a good movie.</span></center>

<center>
</center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
I'm dating a little bit of a mountain man. Between him, my brother and my dad, I've reconnected with my love for nature. We've been getting snow storms like crazy up here in MA, and I can't think of anything better than walking through a winter wonderland with my best friend. Throw on some warm boots, (and bring a cute nature-themed card) and explore. Memorable, and I promise you, your guy will appreciate you getting in touch with your inner woodsman</span>.</center>
