Top: Ella Moss via Shake the Tree Boston (wearing size Small for reference) | Photography: Katie Salerno Photography
I recently had the privilege of spending an afternoon at Shake the Tree, a boutique located in the heart of the North End in Boston. Shake the Tree has a beautiful selection of carefully curated women’s clothing, home goods, handmade jewelry, cookbooks, and cocktail supplies, to just name some of what Shake the Tree has to offer. You know those boutiques you walk into where you immediately want everything… the shop you always go to for a unique gift for a friend or family member? That’s Shake the Tree! I could spend hours looking at everything they have to offer and mentally planning the reasons why I need all of the coffee table and desk accessories.
After trying on this Ella Moss, blush-colored, cold shoulder top from Shake the Tree, I couldn’t help but thinking that it would be the absolute perfect top for the entire holiday season. I’ve always had a thing for pieces that add a bit of flare, without overpowering in a tacky way. After all, it’s the person that should stand out in the outfit, right? That’s a debate for another day ;-). I love the subtle sparkle of this top and the braided straps. The metallic thread adds just the right amount of shimmer, and the drape front and the fit of this top makes it universally flattering and just the right amount of flirty. It’s also fully lined which is always a plus in my book! It would be perfect under a leather jacket for date night or worn on a beach escape vacation.
I hope you guys are having a wonderful Monday! I had such a great weekend with friends in the Berskhires, which was just what I needed after having such a long work week (I had a field trip I had to be up at 4AM for AND IT SNOWED on the field trip… lol). While in the Berkshires, I found another brunch gem. If any of you find yourselves in the area, definitely stop by the Blueberry Hill Market & Cafe and get the egg sandwich! So delicious, and the cafe is absolutely adorable. It feels like you’re eating at home which I love! It was so good I went twice.
I love the shimmer in this top!

The fabric is absolutely beautiful… just the right amount of shine without looking like your draped in heavy sequins!
