Working on my Fitness
Right, just what Boston needs, more rain! Last night ducked drops and escaped to the gym with a little help from Nike’s sportband which is one of the the coolest $60 things ever. First of all, it looks cool, second of all it tracks your workout (speed, distance, calories burned etc.) on that cute little...
Love, to wit, Daniele Michetti shod foot….
Yup, that’s really the title of this post. Enjoy these sexy shoes from second-season Italian designer Daniele Michetti.
Sometimes its good to step out of your comfort zone… this past weekend I had a chance to step out of my little beantown bubble for a much needed shift in perspective!

Statement Necklaces at Any Price
The thing I like about statement necklaces is the way they can take a simple outfit (jeans and a tank top) and totally dress it up… Here are some fun pieces, including some Urban Socialite favorites (Ka/Pow/Wow, Necklush, Giia and Suzanna Dai). Also, note how similar the Banana Republic ($52) and Oscar De La Renta...
Rain Rain Go Away!
I HATE the rain. Today was especially raw and disgusting here in Boston. Luckily, I had a few things that kept me smiling throughout the day…(from left): Alba Botanica Pineapple Quench Clear Lip Gloss- This stuff smells amazing and leaves your lips super shiny and soft. One whiff will help you daydream your way out...
Love the Remix
I totally forgot about daylight savings! I don’t own a clock (long story) and the things I have that tell time are all computerized… phone, computer, etc… so I basically fell asleep Saturday and woke up (an hour late based on my cell phone’s clock) and spent the rest of the day kind of wandering...

It’s so easy to get seduced by the lull of complacency… you know? This weekend I”m going to take a little trip out of my comfort zone– need to get that...
