CL Simple 85 Pumps in metal rouge, Sparkling Sage necklace (not worth full price), Talbots earrings
These “ruby slippers” are a recent addition to my shoe family. They’re metallic rouge patent from a few seasons ago, and the heel height is a lower, comfortable 85mm (mine measure 3.25″). They were a random store return and marked down quite a bit. I can’t thank Elle enough for the sale alert! Since I’m trying hard not to hoard, my Elisa 100’s in a similar color have already been sent to a new home where I hope they will get lots of love.
I had an appointment that day at 9tailors, a Boston clothing company specializing in custom-designed, made-to-fit dress shirts and suits. I chatted with the founder, Sam, who (at 5 feet tall) understands the importance and challenge of finding well-fitting clothing. We flipped through pattern books and fabric samples, and I’ll be returning soon to learn more about their women’s offerings. If any readers have tried 9tailors, I’d love to hear about your experience.
Nick and I wrapped up our day at Marliave, a French-American place in downtown Boston. I’m usually very indifferent about restaurant food, but I absolutely loved the “Sunday Gravy” pasta (requested linguini instead of gnocchi). It was fresh, whole tomatoes stewed with beef, lamb, and pork until creamy, served over house-made pasta. This place prides itself in using fresh & local ingredients (yada yada), but I could actually taste it in this dish. I killed it!
This is by far my favourite of your looks 🙂
Fantastic Style
Gorgeous outfit! Plus, I love how the backgrounds of your photos always compliment your outfit. Beautiful!
I love this look so much that I pinned it so I can try to dress like this myself

I love your dress! You always look so chic. =)
BTW, if you're still looking for boots that are good for thin calves, you might want to try these:

I just received mine today. I have 13.5in-14in calves and these were quite snug on me.
Love the marled look of the dress.

Love the way you styled the sweater dress. Would have never known the sweater dress is a child size if you didn't mention it. This hair style is my favorite. the hair style is very sophisticated. I'm bum that the Asian bump it didn't work for me. On the search for a new tool.
LOVE everything about this outfit! =) You look so classy and sophisticated. I think my hair is much worse – I have strays everywhere, little fluffs on the tops, the sides, needless to say I hate it 😛 I think your hair looks wonderful, despite your saying you have difficult hair.
gorgeous outfit! very well styled 🙂

The ruby reds paired with the blacks add such an elegant touch! I have not yet mastered my hair yet with any tutorials (not the tutorial's fault – I am THAT bad with hair) but hope to someday 🙂 LOL about "killing" your pasta. You have me wondering how I can make a gravy pasta at home…
Wow. Great look. I like the sweater and blazer combo.
