仍有残雪的波士顿,Louise 却已按耐不住迎接春天的喜悦,换上甜美却又酷帅的蕾丝洋装。初春,也替自己的衣着换季吧!换上一点蕾丝的甜、带点劲装的靴、加颗自信的心,怎样的穿搭都是完美。

Lace Dress in Spring 波士顿的春天阴晴不定,背景还留有残雪,我却已经等不及穿上春装了。

Spring in Boston is cold, rainy and sometimes brings snow. Weatherwise, wearing a spring lace dress without a coat is probably not a good idea. But I just can't wait to wear. 

春日的蕾丝洋装 

Lace Dress by Sister Jane. Sister Jane 今年春季给我满满的良好印象,除了上次这件尖领混色毛呢针织上衣,还有台湾官网这件复古短领的蕾丝洋装。一直以来我都没有特别钟爱太甜腻的蕾丝元素,但是我喜欢这件黑白交错的纹路,让洋装多了一点个性;抓皱的肩线和短短的立领带入了些许古典气息,内衬是极为清浅的蓝。S号的腰线和下摆穿在哈比人身上我都非常刚好,完全不用修改。

因为下雨下雪的关系搭配了防滑的Hunter雨鞋,顺势背了同色系的剑桥包(官网的春天新色好美)。下着四月雪的波士顿,随着日照渐长,挥别凄惨3、4点就开始天黑的冬季,春天正式来临。

印象中好像从小到大都习惯留有浏海的发型,额头少了浏海总觉得很没安全感,照镜子怎么看都不对劲。前阵子忙着找工作适应新环境,没有多余心思修剪头发,不知不觉间蓄长了浏海,顺理成章往后梳觉得梳清爽许多。就这样用新发型暂时跟过去的自己道别,迎接焕然一新的生活。

Lace Dress in Spring  

Lace Dress by Sister Jane. In addition to the Sister Jane Tweed Blouse which I reviewed last time, I also love this black and white cotton lace stripe dress from Sister Jane's early spring collection. I have never been a fan of lace design, but I found myself fond of this lace dress very much. The short stand-up collar and gathered shoulders bring a distinct vintage vibe. Fully lined with the lightest blue, the dress is designed with a higher waist and the feminine A-line silhouette. Yet, the black and white dress adds the rebellious edge to this delicate lace dress. I'm 5' and size S fits me very well. No alteration needed at all.

I styled this dress with a pair of black rain boots as the spring weather in Boston is quite rainy. I purchased this black backpack from Cambridge Satchel last year, and they recently have the lovely pastel spring colors that you can take a look at here. Although it seems that winter refuses to leave New England and still brought some snow last week, spring has made its way here somehow. We now have more daylight, and can finally say goodbye to the dark winter. 

I have had bangs since I was little. Growing up, I either had full bangs or had my hairs parted on the same side with eyebrow-length bangs. It means that I have never had a dramatic change of my hair style. And in the past few months, I had been busy with job hunting and had no time taking care of my bangs. My bangs started to grow out so I decided to pull and pin bangs back as I didn't have time for fussy styling. Without knowing it, I made it the weird in-between stages. I now love this clean and new pulled back look. 



波士顿公共图书馆

因在美国独立战争开启关键性的第一役,波士顿是美国的诞生地,所以走进这座全美国第一座图书馆感觉特别有意义。图书馆比邻最热闹的 Copley Square 和充满各大品牌时尚橱窗的 Newbury Street,闹中取静,是我很喜欢的城市空间。和之前造访的纽约比起来,纽约市立图书馆有“欲望城市”婚礼、和“明天过后”等电影加持,豪华气派;波士顿图书馆秀气典雅,且电影“惊爆焦点”也有几幕着名的馆内场景噢!

Boston Public Library

For its key role in the American Revolution, Boston has been known as the "Cradle of Liberty." Also, the Boston Public Library is the first free municipal library in the world, it made the library uniquely meaningful. Located adjacent to the chic shopping destination Copley Square and Newbury Street, Boston Public Library is not only a beautiful historical building, but also a great spot to relax amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Comparing to the grand and magnificent New York Public Library where I visited last time, Boston Public Library is delicate and beautiful. New York Public Library has been featuring in lots of films, like the famous The Day After Tomorrow or Sex and the City movie wedding scene. And here in Boston, the library was featured in the Oscar-winning movie Spotlight!
