Martha's Vineyard

19 June 2019

Hi guys! I just wanted to pop in and share some photos from our trip to Martha's Vineyard over Memorial Day weekend! This was my first time on the island and let's just say it did not disappoint! From cedar shingled houses, to quaint ice cream shops, beautiful beaches and a Vineyard Vines around every corner, it's easy to see why so many people visit this island year after year!

We only spent one day on the island so, as a blogger, I had to come prepared with multiple outfit changes to get as much content as possible LOL. Luckily I had my Sea Bag (pictured below with the lighthouse!) with me that held everything I needed! These roomy bags are handmade in the USA out of recycled sail cloth! You can shop the whole collection by clicking here.

We started off our day in Vineyard Haven. We popped in and out of a few shops, sipped on iced coffee from Mocha Mott's and then had a delicious lunch at The Black Dog Tavern. From there, we headed to Edgartown (my favorite town!!) and did some more shopping at Vineyard Vines, visited the lighthouse there, oh, and then we spotted KJP himself!!! After that, we went to Oaks Bluff and strolled around the gingerbread houses, shopped some more, snacked on a Del's Lemonade and then headed home for the day. I cannot wait to revisit this beautiful island some day!

Pink Seersucker.

01 May 2019

Hello, seersucker season! I absolutely adore anything and everything seersucker so it's no surprise that I instantly fell in love with this pink seersucker number from Duffield Lane! This beauty has everything I could ever want in a dress- seersucker, lace and ruffles! Paired with a straw sun hat and some espadrille wedges, this look will take you anywhere from Sunday brunch to a day at the derby!

Preppy Easter Dresses.

08 April 2019

Easter is one of my favorite holidays! From the pretty pastel colors, to Easter brunch and lots of candy and flowers, it's easy to see why I love this day so much! I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite spring dresses that I've come across while shopping in case you needed a bit of inspo for what to wear on Easter Day! I am leaning towards wearing something seersucker myself, but honestly it's so hard to decide when there are so many cute options out there right now!

Tennis Attire.

05 April 2019

I absolutely adore vintage fashion! I was scrolling through Pinterest a few weeks ago and came across some old black and white photos of girls playing tennis in the cutest outfits and I was completely inspired to create my own vintage-esque tennis outfit. It just so happened that that same week a company called Course & Club reached out to me and asked if they could send me one of their darling skorts... talk about perfect timing, right?!

Course & Club skorts are not only adorable, they are seriously the comfiest thing ever! I love the flattering high waisted silhouette and the classic pleated and striped look. These skorts pair perfectly with so many tops from sweaters to polos and just about everything in between. For my vintage tennis inspired look I paired my skort with this short sleeve sweater that I was generously gifted from a local consignment boutique in Hershey called, JhettSet Closet. (If you're a local PA gal you have to check this place out- they have so many designer goodies for a steal!) To finish off my look I tied a navy cardigan around my shoulders, slipped on some ruffled socks and my sneakers and I fastened a string of pearls around my neck!

Navy Necessities.

06 March 2019

It's no secret that I am a tad obsessed with the color navy; just take a look at my Instagram and you'll find something navy in just about every post! The color is timeless and classic and works with every season of the year. It's easy to see why I am drawn to anything and everything navy!

For todays post I have rounded up a few of my favorite navy necessities that I came across while shopping online. A lot of these pieces have me thinking of spring! I am so ready for some warmer weather!

Happy shopping!

Winter Picnic.

10 February 2019

Joe and I woke up early last week and decided it was the perfect morning for a little winter picnic at the lake! We brewed some coffee, packed some snacks in our picnic basket, laced up our Bean Boots and headed off to Memorial Lake (see our last post at the lake here!) After picking the perfect spot out on the edge of the snow covered lake, we poured ourselves some hot coffee out of our plaid thermos and watched the ice fishermen at work. It was the perfect winter morning with my love.
