I acquired my first pair of Frye boots when I was a freshman in college. My mom had always told me stories of how much she loved her Frye boots when she was younger and how she was still kicking herself for giving them away. So, when I opened one of my Christmas gifts to find…

I’ve always been considered to be tall. I’ve also always loved heels – they make me feel sexy and confident. But, at a little over 5’8″, I’ve had some challenges, especially when I was in college and trying to decide if I could wear heels to a formal based on my date’s height. Luckily, I…

As I’ve matured and evolved over the past few years, so has my style. Gone are the days of chunky statement necklaces and vibrant prints.

So far in Boston, we have over 60″ of snow. As I’m sure you can imagine, it’s absolutely miserable. There is no where to put any of it and I think I speak for us all when I say we are sick of shoveling out our cars. It seems like every time we turn around there…

Trust me, wanderlust is great and all but there’s something to be said for exploration. Don’t get me wrong, I have a big case of wanderlust – I want to travel to places and experience new things and meet different people.

When I first started Mass Musings, I thought it would just be a hobby on the side. I wanted to be Tumblr famous (didn’t we all at one point?). Over the past two years, I’ve completely reworked my vision for this blog and things are starting to finally take a more substantial shape. As I…
