There are a lot of things I am going to miss about summer, and bare legs and little dresses are definitely high up on that list.
Even though Halley lives in the city herself, Dana currently lives in Boston. So when I got the two sisters together I jumped at the chance to shoot them on the roof, with the skyline in the background. And we really hit the jackpot with these dresses. I was skeptical at first about having them both in blue - but shit was I wrong. The two dresses complimented each girl, while still complimenting each other.
There's not much else to say as the pictures really speak for themselves. Well I guess I could say, hello good genetics! But that would be too obvious.

Is the Little Blue Dress the new Little Black Dress?

crochet the day away...
*
Dress & Top: Forever21 [sold separately] (similar).
Purse: Charlotte Russe (similar)
Boots: Diba (similar) Teacup Ring: Minted Jewelry.
Something about this crochet top and its resemblance to a doily on the back of grandma's couch made it perfect for my little early bird dinner with Claire a couple of weeks ago.
This black cotton/spandex jumper I'm wearing underneath it is one of my best purchases from Forever21 to date. If you don't have a tank jumper (in whatever is your color) - I seriously recommend getting one. It can be dressed up with a cardigan, chunky necklace, and heels - or dressed down with a hoodie and sneakers - but the possibilities are really endless. I should shut up before I give away all my future posts.
The bag is adorable, surprisingly roomy at times, and then utterly tiny at others. Also, it's a real bitch to open and close when your trying to text or hold a beer...or a diet coke. whatever.
I really like pairing girly pieces with harder, edgier pieces. I'm also clearly (read: maxed out maxi) into layering things over my dresses. I get more use out of them and different looks. Also- who am I kidding? I find an excuse to wear those fucking combat boots with anything. It's almost sad. They have been so good to me the past two years (a gift from the bf). The close up shot was horrendous, and they are really falling apart. I've already brought them to the cobbler (shoe repair) to glue the sole back on. I'm so distraught I can't even go on....
Is there something in your closet that - pun intended - should be getting the boot?

It was a beautiful weekend in Lake George, NY where we celebrated Julia & Andrew's wedding lake-side! It was a small, intimate ceremony with less than 150 guests and the reception at The Boathouse was personal and lovely. The shabby chic decor was right out of Pinterest and completely to die for.
Because this post has so many pictures, I'll keep it short -
I had a blast with Conor and his family! Congrats to the Newlywed's and cheers to lifelong happiness!

color block party

| Brooklini from Chez Lola |
Dress/Belt/Shoes/Sunglasses: Forever21.
Bag: Street Level (similar). Ring: UVA Signet.

On a much brighter and lighter note - it was date-night with Claire, which inadvertently turned into an early bird special, with buffet-style ordering of appetizers, and the best key lime pie I have ever eaten.
I wish I could gush more about this pie and show you pictures of how good it looked but no sooner was it placed in front of us - it was gone. All of the food was sooo delish that there are no pictures of them at all. I guess I will have to show some self control next time.
And then there was this fantastic blue truck, and the miracle that Claire wasn't wearing that color; since she seemed to be wearing almost every other color - like a boss. She almost makes a rainbow when she stands next to it. She seamlessly combines trends like neon and color-blocking - not to mention, her signature tinted tips.
