My husband and I started to rewatch our favorite show, Mad Men, and in season 2, Betty Draper sports the most incredible equestrian outfits. Her looks consisted of tailored blazers, bow blouses, riding boots, and a red lip- so perfectly classic! If you are looking to add some new pieces to your wardrobe this season, I would start with any of the items I have shown above as they can all mix and match together for countless Autumn ensembles. Don't forget to top off your look with a red lip!
You can find the links to all of these items on my Like to Know It page here.
Summer Soirée
On Sunday my family got together for a Summer Soirée to celebrate my 25th birthday a week early. We set up a blue and white taplescape at the park and indulged in chilled strawberry soup, berry-mandarin salad, smoked salmon and an array of tea sandwiches. Following our lunch, we played a game of croquet and bocce ball. It was such a wonderful day celebrating with family!

A few weeks ago Joe and I headed to our happy place- Martha's Vineyard! This was our third time visiting the island but it was our first time actually staying there. We had the absolute best time and I am so excited to share our trip details with you!
How we got there: We use the Steamship Authority ferry to get to the Vineyard and have always had seamless experiences with them. We decided to take our car over to the island so we could travel around easier (I definitely recommend this if you are staying overnight!) and we reserved a spot on the ferry for our car online a few weeks before departure. It only is about a 45 minute ride to the island from Woods Hole.
Where we stayed: Edgartown is my favorite town on the Vineyard so that's where we decided to spend our 3 nights. We stayed at the Edgar Hotel which was reasonably priced (we went the second to last week of May and most hotels are significantly cheaper then!) and it was only a half mile walk from downtown. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and even a place to rent bikes right across the street!

Leaf Peeping at The Omni Mount Washington Resort
A special thank you to the Omni Mount Washington for having us.
At the end of September Joe and I were so blessed to have the opportunity to stay at The Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire! After a long 9 hour drive, we were greeted with the most beautiful fall foliage surrounding the infamous red roof resort; I could not believe that the leaves had reached their peak just in time for our arrival!! We eagerly jumped out of our car and hopped on the brand new gondola and headed up the mountain to check out the Rosebrook Lodge that had just opened. The views were out of this world!
After getting settled into our room, we freshened up and headed down to the newly renovated main dining room for dinner. The space was so elegant, yet cozy at the same time and the food was absolutely delicious! *I also just wanted to note here that the resort took all of the proper precautions for COVID. They implemented social distancing, required masks when social distancing was not possible and had excellent cleaning services. We felt very safe during our stay.
