Cold Shoulder Dress + WW Link Up

Photography Katie Salerno

Happy Friday!  Not only am I glad that weekend has arrived, but I'm really excited to share this post, and for several of reasons.  The first being this dress.  Between the high neck and cold shoulder cut, I can easily say that I'm in love.  Not to mention the color is gorgeous (and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't wear color).  This ribbed, high neck beauty is by Splendid, and I picked it up at one of my new favorite stores, Shake The Tree Boston, which happens to be the second thing I'm excited to share.

Shake the Tree is a boutique located in Boston's North End.  Amongst the streets lined with the most delicious food, mostly including pasta and pastries, you'll find this cute little shop filled with, well, pretty much everything you would want to add to your home.  Not only does the Shake The Tree carry an amazing selection of clothing, but you'll also find the most beautiful handmade jewelry, small brand apothecary, contemporary home goods, barware, cookbooks, and candles to last you a lifetime.  Not only will I be back to restock my wardrobe, but it's pretty safe to say that I'll be doing most of my holiday shopping there.

And finally, I'm excited to share these photos.  They were taken by a local photographer, Kate Salerno, and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out.  Although I've only worked with a couple of photographers in the past (my husband is usually the one behind the lens), I felt so comfortable with Katie, which made it such a fun experience.  If you live in the Boston area and are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Katie Salerno Photography.

Stay tuned for Monday's post as I'll be sharing another look from Shake The Tree.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
