WHAT I'M WEARING








Much like leopard, bold colors and brights, camo is yet another one of the "New Neutrals".  Personally, I love it and its complete chameleon power.  What other pattern do you know of that can take it easy or get all dressed up with the simple switch out of just a few key pieces?  Here's how to do it...


Begin by building your outfit around the one piece you want to play up.  In this case, it these camo skinny jeans.  From there, decide if you want to dress your look up or down and begin adding what works.  For me, I decided to give my look a preppy chic feel.  To do it, I first began to layer with one of my favorite staples, this easy to pair chambray shirt.  Soft, comfy and the perfect companion for so many of the things I own.  Next I layered on a chunky rib knit pullover sweater.  My reasoning here was two-fold.  The chambray and denim are longtime companions and always work perfectly and effortlessly as a classic combo.  Fatigues, however, are almost the complete opposite of these preppy pieces and that's why the two looks ignite when put together.   To amp up the glam factor I reached for a striking crystal necklace like this one from Bauble Bar and a pink accent via J. Crew's decadent jewelry collection.  Finally, the entire look is tied together with the perfect shade of neutral suede ankle bootie and a city chic tote sized perfectly to fit all your essential belongings.

It really is just that simple.  The key is, to know what you want to work with and take it in the direction you want to go.  If you give it a try, you just must be surprised (and fall in love with) what you discover.


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Beach Bag Bonanza








It's official, summer is here!  In honor of the first full weekend of the sunshine season, we've picked out our favorite beach bags that are perfect for the sun and sand as well as all those other great stops you're bound to make.  From prints and patterns to straw and structured, these catch-alls will keep it all right at your fingertips.  Why this might call for a few extra getaways....let's take a peek.


Patterned & Printed:  Eye catching and colorful, these bags are perfect for chic Saturdays spent at the beach or elsewhere.  Hot pink detailing and plenty of structure make this Anya Hindmarch choice perfect for everyday.   Similar in design is the J. Crew Tartine tote in Diamond Rafia.  Roomy and bold, these statement bags can hold their own.

Chevron, Stripes & Straw:  Jack Willis' blue and white classic stripe tote is casual and fun on carefree days.  O'Neill's Sadie straw bag sports chevron stripes for a similar feel.  Sole Society stays neutral with natural gray and white stripes on their Avianna large straw tote.  A twisted straw overlay from Tory Burch hits the beach running full style ahead while her Viva Striped East-West tote sports a classic nautical vibe.

Classic & Structured:  These bags get a summer makeover via color-blocking and updated detailing.  Tory Burch again offers multiple options.  First, the Jaden Tote, designed to combine a crisp cotton canvas and a colorfully dipped bottom, provides plenty of pockets and an organized interior topped off with a zip-away closure.  A most practical and perfect choice.  A second option is the Pierson beach tote.  Beautifully designed in a style that harkens back to the days of dapper gentlemen and glamorous ladies, this pick travels from beach to boardroom without missing a beat.


So no matter where the road or summer takes you, these totes will have you looking chic and feeling perfectly prepared.  Have a fabulous Friday and first weekend of summer.  Thanks so much for reading!

XO,

Meet me in...Nantucket


 
I'm feeling excited knowing that summer is just a few short weeks away now.  In light of that, I thought I would post some scenes from one of my favorite summertime destinations, Nantucket.  With the feel of tranquility all around you, not to mention the fantastic preppy chic fashions you find there, this amazing little island always makes me smile.   Pictured here are some of the designs, locales and home accent pieces that lend it the Americana richness it so easily embodies.   

Thanks for reading...Hope your summer travels take you to beautiful places near and far!
