I finally had the privilege to go to Boston when the weather was nice! My impression of the city has always been depressing, gloomy and FREEZING. Mind you, I've only visited in the fall and winter where the wind chill is so paralyzing, you don't want to leave your hotel room. I would definitely encourage you guys to visit, if you haven't, in the spring or summer time where the weather is much more accommodating! Everybody is out and about, tourists and locals alike. There is so much to see and do in this city! This trip was dedicated to see my brother graduate from Harvard University. The commencement ceremony was pretty intense. A cross between Harry Potter and Hollywood - Meryl Streep was there to receive an honorary graduate degree. It was amazing and surreal. I couldn't be more proud of him! Congrats Briggie!

Can I ask which aldos shoes those are? As in the name? Please? I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a nice pair of nude pumps.
Confessions - I'm sorry! I don't know! :( I bought them last year + they are my staple nude shoe! They bring it back every season all most. I passed them up one season and the next they brought it back.. I would just keep my eyes peeled!

congrats to your brother! my boyfriend just finished his first year at harvard business school and i went to boston 3 time last semester and absolutely fell head over heels in love with the city!
I love going into Boston everytime! The city is really growing on me and I only live 30 min north of it...would be awesome to actually own a place in the city. :)
Glad you like the visit this time around.
