Madewell High Riser Alley Straight Jeans

H&M Studio Collection

H&M Studio collection button down // Madewell skinnies 

After shopping in Boston last week, it bummed me out that H&M doesn't sell their studio collection at every store - because it's pretty awesome. Unfortunately our local mall here doesn't have nearly as many options and floor levels as the city stores do , but I guess it's just a great excuse to visit Boston & NYC to shop more often :-) 

I picked up a few great pieces while'st B-Day shopping and this button down is one of them. I got it extra over sized on purpose for an extra comfy feel with skinny jeans. I definitely feel like i'll be getting a lot of use out of this top this Fall !

(and If you haven't noticed - i'm usually barefoot no matter where I go until I absolutely have to wear shoes...i can't help it!)

Successful Madewell trip! (and perfume purchase :-)

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a jean short, or "jort" if you will, junkie! 

I literally live in jean shorts all Summer long and am always on the prowl for a new and exciting pair to take home.

Over the weekend, Chris & I headed up to Providence, RI to the Providence Place Mall where the closest Madewell store is (and J.Crew & all the good stuff!) which is about 40 min or so from our house in Mystic, CT! Not too shabby. 

I absolutely LOVE Madewell, it houses some of my favorite clothing and never ceases to amazing my eyeballs when walking thru the door. I immediately went straight for the denim section and fell in love with these shorts! They come in 3 or so different shades of denim and are the comfiest, semi-high-waisted, perfect length, good quality denim jorts.

 I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who's in the market for the perfect jean short. They also run very true to size which is always nice.

I also picked up this Springy in to Summertime Sweater, perfect for boat rides and bundling at night.

Interior design and decor have always been a huge part of my life. I have always been a home maker no matter where I have lived, and have collected some amazing things that are dear to me along the way. Our kitchen is my favorite room in our house; it gets so much light, has blue cabinets, and is the entrance that we use most frequently. Cooking and food are a huge part of my life; I absolutely love to cook (as does my husband) and because I'm a gluten-free/vegetarian, we have learned to cook and enjoy cooking in such a specific and amazing way.

Here is a combo of the things that make me happiest - fashion & all things kitchen related. 

YUM, all around.
