One of my favorite Sunday rituals are to go to a local flower shop and pick out my favorite blooms - which change frequently because it's hard to choose! However peonies have always held a special place in my heart. Recently I came across these beauties and couldn't wait to find them a lovely home in my home: via my Instagram - come follow me! Below are a few of my favorite vases though to place these little babies in! Xo,

The weather is finally nice out again - it's a blessing! This weekend I am going out to dinner with my best friend, running (walking) a 5K with my sister, and having a lunch date with the boo. I put together two outfits below that I love and they are all based around my new Gap white jeans - staple piece for this season! What are you up to this beautiful weekend? Treat yourself to some shopping: White Jeans - French Connection Blouse - TopShop Blouse - Pave Links Bracelet - Two Tone Clutch - Classic Crossbody - Pink Watch - Cluster Earrings - Chunky Necklace - Tory Burch Flats - JCrew Seville Wedge Espadrilles Xo,
Carly Spring has almost (and I say almost very lightly) sprung. Even though we still have snow on the ground that doesn't stop fashion and brands are launching their spring looks now. The two outfits below are great for this in between season. I recently was looking at the new Chuck Taylor Fresh Color line and fell in love. What's your favorite spring color palette? Xo,
Carly This gorgeous statement necklace made me so envious for anyone who could have it! I had to research more options that I could add to my collection too. I'm envisioning a necklace like this with an all black outfit and bright lip. Do you like a statement piece like this or prefer something a little more subtle? Xo,
Carly Well hello there! Sorry for being off the blogging scene for a bit but February just swooped me away. This month marked my boyfriend and I’s first year anniversary which we celebrated with a little trip to Washington DC. It was his first time and he loved it and I always love visiting that city. You’re always surrounded by great people and fun sites! After getting back from that we have been getting hit with a lot of snow and I have been running around for work. Nonetheless I have found small spurts in the day to pick up my new favorite book and gobble up each and every syllable because it is so good! The novel I am referring to is written by Maria Semple who I find to be so effortless in her speech and it feels like your best friend is telling you the greatest story! The story I am referring to is Where’d You Go Bernadette. This novel is created around Bernadette’s fascinating yet simple life which is something she battles with daily. From being this world famous architect who had it all and slowly taking on the role of being a supportive wife for her husband who is a big deal over at Microsoft and taking care of their ever-charming daughter, Bee. I can see a little of myself in all of these characters. Bee is curious and wants to take on the role of an adult really quickly. She wants to know everything and loves being with her mom. Bernadette is a free spirit who is confined by society to fall into a certain role that I’m not sure she is really crazy about just yet. But after Bernadette runs off to Antarctica she maybe questions what she wants. I know that lately I feel torn and this book is allowing me to find humor in life. I am a creative soul who enjoys experiences instead of objects. I want to travel the world and spend as much time with my family as humanly possible. I want to be a wife and mother some day but be able to pick up and go when I want. I want to make a beautiful living for myself but only do everything I love. It’s hard to have it all, almost near impossible, but the least we can all do is find joy in going after it all. I suggest you all read this book and let me know your thoughts on it as well! Check me out on Instagram to see what I'm up to day to day! http://instagram.com/merciboston Xo,
