The Nutcracker In J.Crew

^ Madewell Pavé Arrowtip Ring

This past Saturday was my Dad's Birthday - we celebrated it by going to the Nutcracker at Foxwoods Casino with my family after a delish dinner at Alta Strada!

The day before our night of celebrations and family shindigs, Chris and I ventured out to Providence, RI and did a little Christmas shopping! While'st getting a lot of last minute stuff for family members, I picked up a few new pieces from J.Crew, Madewell & LOFT. 

This dress is from J.Crew - it's actually one of the few things that I own from their store! When we shop J.Crew it's usually mostly for Chris - but I was super psyched to have a new dress for the Nutcracker and my Dad's B-day celebrations the following day!

 I was drawn to this dress because of the length of the skirt (being 5'8' makes a lot of dresses way to short on me!) and the peter pan collar; just the perfect mix of classy, simple with a cute edge.

I chose to pair it with polka dot tights from ZARA (old) and my go-to ALLSAINTS boots.

A couple of weeks ago I had a post from the day Chris & I went to the beach with Cashew - it was by far the warmest and nicest day in January we have ever had! It was amazing. 

Well anyway, if you didn't know this already; Chris is an amazing photographer! (check out his photo blog) and he happen to take some photo's that day at the beach that weren't taken by a cell phone haha (my iphone takes most of my photos!)

He takes a lot of film photos and we just got them developed, so here they are! ~
