First of all, thank you all for being so understanding of my silence last week. Even though I was posting regularly, I really felt absent from my blog and it was a weird feeling. Thank you for all the sweet comments, and I'll be playing catch-up for the rest of the week!
Dress: Rodarte for Target (30.00 sale!)
Tights: TjMaxx
Flats: Target (6.99 sale)
Necklace: Dolly and Boy
After being so frazzled up until Saturday, I welcomed the task of being sent to buy h'orderves for our gallery opening. I always check out the sale section at Target when I'm there, and was happy to find this Rodarte dress on a little bit of a mark-down. I really liked this one when I first checked out the collection, but wasn't totally sold, well I'm so glad I bought it now! I'm actually planning on wearing it again next weekend with a sweater and heavy boots for when Jen and I head into NYC! It's funny because I felt very much in-touch with my New England roots when I wore this, despite looking rather sleek, I'm wearing a thermal top and three pairs of tights underneath!
So as you may have seen from one of last week's posts, I am co-curating a gallery show for the month of February, and Saturday was the opening! Bea and I prepped the space with a little (a lot of) help from our cohorts fivesevendelle all last week in anticipation of the influx of guests for Saturday night's reception, and we were not disappointed! The reception went so well, it was great to re-connect with some of the artists involved (many of whom I already knew from school) and also meet new faces! If anyone is still interested in viewing the exhibition, It will be up until February 28th and I (believe) we'll be hosting a small closing reception later in the month. Email me if you want details...

the space is an alternative space located on Mission Hill in Boston in a converted brownstone.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

You look wicked killer in that dress! I almosted picked it up last week when I saw it go on sale!
Some of those paintings are begging me to make the trip to boston and snatch one up.
Love the painting above the fireplace! Glad the opening went well!!!
You look gorgeous!
and the gallery looks excellent from the pictures! Also, your friend Bea is gorgeous, too! I like how you always find ways to keep outfits warm in the winter, even when you're wearing less-wintery clothes. So smart! I always love your blog. =] I hope you have a good day!

Haha, yeah Pittsburgh got snow. Working on our second day off because of it. That artwork is gorgeous. I love the explosions of color in the first few shots.
Congratulations on the success of the reception! Glad it went well.
Also I really really want that dress! They don't have target in the UK, and it costs SO much even on ebay!

The dress looks great on you! Congratulations on all the success of the gallery and the reception!
Snow is not my favorite word, especially as I type this we are getting between 8-12 inches. Not as bad as some other parts of the country, but still bad.
that dress looks amazing on you!
The Rodarte dress looks amazing on you and these pictures are so great!
you are just so pretty!
and i love that dress.
YES, i got snow. too much! but i have off school all this week so i shouldn't be complaining. :-) another 12-18 inches tonight! ahh

congrats on the opening! the space looks amazine w/those brick walls... wish i could come see it!
killer dress, btw :)
You look absolutely lovely in that dress!! Long legs, very sleek....and I love how you worn so many layers :) You smart East-coasters...
Also, I'm from the Midwest and we got a lot of snow! So much I'm dreading walking to class...
I love that you thermalized that dress with all the under-pinnings. That's how we do in cold weather...
We're expecting 15cm of snow tonught and I'm weirdly pumped, it hasn't really felt like winter yet...
mmmm adorable dress, i saw it at target as well and i love the whole rodarte collection!
beautiful artwork btw..

Hi,
pre comment I just wanted to let you know that my name is Noémie (I am just writing from my boyfriend's google account as I don't own one ...)
I have been surfing on lookbook and blogspot and found you and I am really impressed, by your outfits, your lifestyle (all these curation projects are pretty amazing).. I live in the UK (I'm french originally), currently in my last year of an arts management degree, but I really want to visit America, I am sooooo drawn to it; and it's so big there's sooo many amazing places to see!... I wanted to ask you how you got to be an admission's counsellor? And what places do you prefer in the USA and why? (need some tips for when I have enough money - or a job to sustain myself there - for when i come to america ;)
Also you do have some pretty amazing stores in the US don't you? Have you got the ones we've got? - zara, topshop, h&m, selfridges, John Lewis... I don't know, but target, forever21, your 'thrifting' stores... (we call that second hand shopping) just all sounds so cool... anyway, I am not a big fashion junkie but I like following people's styles and i just LOVE your hair! I've also just joined the facebook group for the delightful dozen, get some outfits inspirations ;) :)
Anyway, i'm gonna keep coming here...

Ooh the show looks awesome from these photos. Congratulations on such a successful night!
That dress looks amazing on you!
gosh you look like a million bucks in that dress! that's great you were able to find it on a sale too. and can i just say, i can't believe you are able to layer a thermal shirt and several tights with the dress- if i tried that i'd look like a stuffed sausage, lol. ~joelle
Ohhh you look stunning in the leopard print! Like, really stunning!! The gallery show looked like so much fun!
those pieces are rad! i wish i was closer to the east coast and could visit.
did you arrange all the art yourself? is any of it yours?
i love that space and those amazing walls!
