Give Thanks to the Troops

I was so happy to see all the support being given to the troops, nobly defending and honoring our country. I am so gracious for their sacrifices.

Around town they had so many events to show support. While strolling through the Copley Mall I observed a station setup for
folks to write holiday cards to the troops. What a great way to boost morale…There was also Boston’s annual Veteran’s Day parade. I also learned about Trees for Troops. Individuals can buy trees that will be donated to military families. Learn more here: www.mahoneysgarden.com.

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend and do something to support our troops.

Around Town

Over the weekend there were a few events worth seeing. There was the Boston Book Fair, the Occupy Boston March, and the Boston Food Swap. The Boston Book Fair event is the oldest fair of its kind of antiquarian books. There were a variety of activities during the fair including musical performances. Those who support Occupy Boston showed commitment to their cause by parading the streets of Boston to spread their message. The Boston Food Festival is hosted its October Food Swap at Space With a Soul. At the food swap you can swap your homemade and homegrown creations with other attendees.

While I hit the streets I knew a look of comfort would be key. I think  I hit the mark while still showing my style and individuality.

A Night of Glamour

Last night I attended the Fashion’s Night Out event at Saks Fifth Avenue. I had such a wonderful time. There were so many well-dressed Bostonians and the clothing at Yuna Yang’s fashion was to die for. I took a few pictures of the beautiful models there. It was weird eating and drinking in the store. I was in fear of spilling something on the pricey merchandise there. Luckily, I managed not to spill or knock anything over.  I eventually made my way to Newbury Street. It was really cool to see all the luxury vehicles on display on the street. There was music and performances. It was totally worth staying out too late!

Last Summer Hurrah

Over Labor Day weekend I went to New York for a day and picked up a few cute items to help me go into the new season with style. Whenever I’m in New York I’m in awe of all the well-dressed people and the individuality. It always makes me ponder what life would be like if I lived there. However it was truly depressing when I went to Bloomingdale’s to check out the latest designer duds to be bombarded with Winter outerwear. Ugh! Snow and frigid temperatures are the last thing on my mind. I really can’t believe that summer is nearly over. I won’t be able to wear cute rompers, dresses, and strappy sandals I’ve worn over the last few months. So long until next Summer… When I returned from New York I spent the following day roving around Boston, admiring the beauty of the city. It seemed fitting to go for a hippy chic look. There’s something about the simplicity and versatility of a t-shirt that I covet. I wore cropped army green pants and this vintage belt that I absolutely love.
