Happy Friday, friends! We've finally made it to another weekend and I am sooo happy we have since the humidity is supposed to break. We've had some extremely hot and humid days that simply take your breath away. Does anyone have any plans for the weekend?

My dad and I have traveled all over the Cape including Nantucket, but never made it over to Martha's Vineyard until this trip. We stayed in the little town of Oak Bluffs. I was pretty excited to see the ginger bread houses and they did not disappoint. Each one had its own unique qualities and charm to it. My favorite, and the most famous, is the pink house. Oh my, I would live there if I could! I love wearing anything nautical inspired and wanted something red, white, and blue for the journey over. With the 4th of July having been close on the horizon, I seem to have gravitated towards anything with patriotic colors. We first stopped at The Big Dipper to have some fresh coffee and donuts. They were so yummy and I would recommend stopping there as soon as you get off the ferry. We only had about three hours on the island so we explored all of the different houses and little shops. Vineyard Vines also has their flagship store on the island. It was a beautiful day and the ferry ride was spectacular!

One of my favorite spots to visit in Hyannis is the Kennedy Memorial. It's particularly beautiful right around sunset. Before dinner, my dad and I walked down through town to the memorial to get some photos and to see the beach and sail boats, which are what the memorial faces. Its an incredibly serene place to visit and sits right next to the Hyannis Yacht Club so there's always some kind of boat activity going on.

I've mentioned this before, but there's nothing more classic than wearing stripes. Whether going for Parisian chic or all American, stripes can elevate your style and pull a look together as easy as 1,2,3. I paired mine with white jeans for a crisp summery feel. I also wear this striped seersucker blazer from Banana Republic non stop all summer. Its the only blazer I usually grab when needed during the warmer months. The one I'm wearing is a from a few years ago, but they do have an ivory striped one that is similar and Target has a blue and white one very similar as well.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July holiday! It's always nice to have the long weekend too. My dad, Ava, and Itook a quick trip down to Rehoboth Beach to cross an item off of my dad's bucket list. He's always wanted to see the fireworks on the beach for the 4th of July and in all the years we've been going there, 26 to be exact, we've never once gone on the patriotic holiday. The town was hustling and bustling with all kinds of activity, red, white, and blue displays of patriotism, and of course everyone gearing up for the big fireworks display on the beach Sunday night. I have to say, it was quite an amazing sight to see and it was Ava's first fireworks show!

There's nothing more festive than red, white, and blue themes for the summer holidays. It's a classic combination that never tires. Another staple in my wardrobe is stripes. I'm always adding more and more striped pieces into my wardrobe since I know I'll be wearing them so often. This midi skirt instantly caught my eye as being the perfect companion to my navy and white pieces. I don't own too many red items and knew this would fit right in. I love the quality of the fabric. It has a good weight to it and feels way more expensive than it really is. I'm wearing a size xs for reference.

Summer Fab Fit Fun Box

Fab Fit Fun Box c/o || Lemon Dress || Yellow Flats || Similar Yellow Bag || Boater Hat || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Similar Nautical Wheel Ring || Karen Walker Sunnies ||

Happy Friday! I'm so excited to talk about the summer edition of one of my favorite subscription boxes, FabFitFun. You get full sized premium products delivered four times a year for only $50 per box and shipping is free! See my Spring box here. I've been astounded with the excellent quality of each product and just how useful each one is. None of the items ever go to waste! The summer box celebrates the salty, sun-kissed splendor that summer is all about. The products included are:

• FabFitFun Everyday Beach Waves Spray (love it!)
• Betchsicles Pop Molds (used these when I saw a bit sick and they are fantastic!)
• Summer and Rose Yoga Towel (cutest saying)
• Stemulation Daily Micro Derm Scrub
• Passport to Beauty Gypset Luminous Lips
• Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream (new favorite!)
• Trina Turk Canvas Tote (great for the beach)
• Bonus Item: either Burt's Bees Essential OilorBB Cream. I got the BB Cream and have to say it covered amazingly good for not being a full foundation.

Yet again, I'm completely in love with all of these items! I'm a sucker for beauty products so I always get excited when I get to try some new ones. My everyday style is wavy and this beach waves spray gives my hair the prettiest wave without the crunch. The Osea Protection Cream feels lightweight and has a beautiful silky finish. I also love how I can combine it with my foundation for a little DIY CC Cream! The Luminous Lipsgave my lips a major boost of moisture with a subtle color that isn't overpowering. The Daily Micro Derm Scrub can actually be used on your face and body, which is pretty cool. It gently exfoliates to brighten and energize skin by reveling a youthful glow. I can't get enough of it, especially in the summer! . Now, I was actually a bit under the weather recently and used the Ice Mold Pops (shaped like champagne bottles!) to make some ice pops, which were a lifesaver. I can't wait to fill them something a bit more festive. The Yoga Towel has the cutest sayings on them, mine says good vibes, and are great for wicking away moisture. Lastly, the Canvas Tote is fabulous for packing all of your essentials when you're on-the-go. I used mineto pack some beach items, but this would also be great for running around town or by the pool side!

Rose Dreams

If I had to describe Cape Cod it would be charming and quaint. Every turn has beautiful bright blooms, picturesque homes, and a 40 mile stretch of gorgeous protected beaches. It's hard not to fall in love with the old world allure. That's not even to mention the scrumptious food too. I haven't had one bad meal there yet. My dad and I were graciously invited to Pain D' Avignon to indulge in one of their meals, we chose breakfast, and were absolutely blown away by their hospitality and incredibly appetizing food. The place was packed with a constant stream of customers coming through the doors. I decided on the Croquet Madame, while my dad had the Oeufs Poches. We both partook in a yummy blueberry tart for a little treat before heading out to enjoy some more antiquing and driving through various communities to explore what they have to offer.

This white dress with pretty pink roses adoring it has a retro inspiration that looks just as beautiful as it feels to have on. The fit and flare style, an absolute favorite of mine, compliments any body figure. I'm wearing a size small and found the length to be a bit longer than a midi style on my shorter frame (5'2.) I have to say, of all the outfits I wore on our trip, this dress got the most compliments. It's a head turner for sure! We ended up in Chatham where the main street is filled with shops and restaurants to fill everyone's interests and delights. At the end of the main street is the beach and lighthouse where the movie The Finest Hours was based out of. It's a destination we never miss!

One of the many things I love about Cape Cod, besides all of the charm, is being able to explore new nooks and crannies each time we visit. We've been going up four years now and have only scratched the surface! After breakfast, we drove to Brewster to see the famous General Store. There were so many vintage inspired goodies inside. I had a field day! Afterwards, we enjoyed some coffee and cake on the front porch while watching all of the cars pass by. We then traveled on to visit Easthom where the Nausset Lighthouse is. It's the same lighthouse that is on the Cape Cod chip bag. It's our favorite and we always try to get our photo in front. Usually the beach there is open, but the winter storms had knocked out the stairs, leaving the beach closed down. In that case, we decided to head up the cape to visit Province Town for the first time. Plus, the National Seashore stretches up to the top so we would be able to partake in some sandy beach time too. Let me tell you, the food in P-Town is amazingggg! I've never had better fish in my life. Definitely worth the trip up.

Summer Bliss

Blue Striped Dress || Sunshine Flats || Similar Yellow Cross Body || Karen Walker Sunnies || Similar Hat || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Similar Nautical Wheel Ring || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

Happy Monday, friends! For the past couple of years, my dad and I have been traveling to the seaside escape of Cape Cod to relax, enjoy, and most importantly explore all the island has to offer! We had some breakfast as soon as we arrived and then jaunted off to the Kennedy Museum and around town before heading back to the hotel to check in and change into some fresh clothes. This striped flare dress is absolute perfection for summer! I'm wearing an XS for reference. The sash can be tied in the front or back. I chose the back to match the hat I was wearing, though most do tie it in the front. I adore the hi-lo hem and subtle blue and white stripes for a fresh take on a nautical classic. I knew I wanted some sun shine yellow to brighten up the ensemble, but red accessories would also look quite smashing. How adorable are these flats too?! They say 'Hello Sunshine' on them and feel rather comfy to wear for an all-day adventure. Once dinner time rolled around, we got ready to head off to Barnstable for a sunset dinner at Mattakeese Wharf, which I highly recommend. They sat us at the sunset table with spectacular views of the bay as the sun was slowly making its way down upon the horizon. Afterwards, we walked down to the beach and watched the rest of the sunset with other members from town. It was magical to watch and quite a memorable first day!

Pink + Colorful Tassels at Knoebels

Pink Tassel Dress c/o || Gold Loafers || Similar Straw Tote || Karen Walker Sunnies || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Lip Color ||

This past weekend I took Ava down to Knoebels Amusement park for her friends 2nd birthday party. We had such a fun time riding the train through the woods, interacting with the little ones, and gazing upon all of the excitement and bright lights. I cannot wait until Ava is a bit older and can ride some more of the park rides. Knoebels is one of my most favorite places and Justin and I would talk all the time about taking Ava for her first visit. It's an old time family park set in the woods with no admission fee. I have such fond memories of going with my family and friends and more recently with Justin. We would go at least 3 to 4 times every summer.

For a day at the park, I wanted to wear something comfortable and bright with a twist of summer time fun. The bright pink color really pops and the colorful tassels are huge this season. I love how cute they are! The back of the dress is really the showstopper lined up and down with the tassels. I'm wearing an xs and still have plenty of wiggle room with the shift style. This dress is also under $14! I also switched out my leather Daniel Wellington band for the NATO South Hampton band. You cannot go wrong with pink, blue, and white stripes! It's has a girly nautical vibe to it.

Georgetown

Black Chiffon Top || Gingham Pants || Kate Spade Straw Bag || Jean Jacket || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto, sold out (Similar Here) || Silver Strap Heels || Starburst Earrings || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Rumba Time Watch c/o ||

If there was one word to describe Georgetown, it would have to be charming. It's one of my favorite spots to visit while I'm in D.C. This was the last destination for my dad and I while we were in D.C. I wanted him to see one of JFK's homes while he was living there before becoming president elect, the shops and restaurants, and all of the lovely homes. This post is special because I got to take some of my photos at JFK's old home (its the tall brick one I'm standing by with the green door.) For our outing, I wore these chic gingham pants that fit perfectly. I usually have trouble with pants since I'm petite. I found out that Old Navy has a petite section (online only) and decided to give it a try. Success! I got a 0 petite and could not be happier with them. So for all you of shorter gals out there definitely give their petite section a try! These silver heels are so dreamy! I feel in love as soon as I saw them. The chunky heels makes them a breeze to walk in and the pointy toe keeps them sophisticated and polished. I knew going to Georgetown in them would be a great test since some of the sidewalks are brick lined and I had no trouble in these.

Some More Images From The Day:

So as I mentioned before, this brick home belonged to JFK and Jackie right before he became President. It's the most famous of all the homes he owned while living in Georgetown. There's some various pretty photos around town. My dad and I made sure to eat at Martin's Tavern where it's said that JFK proposed to Jackie in what they now have marked as "The Proposal Booth." It's usually reserved by couple looking to make that big step! While we were sitting there, a couple actually did become engaged. We were sitting right next to the booth too and watched the whole thing happen. The restaurant erupted in cheers and clapping. It was so exciting! I also have a photo of my dad sitting in the "rumble booth" where JFK would sit every Sunday to have his breakfast while reading the paper. After hitting JFK's home and Martin's Tavern, we walked around town and stopped in some shops, ultimately making our way to a bookstore where we found some goodies. We got some coffee's and continued to stroll around the town and take in all of the sights. Before we headed over to Georgetown, we took a walk down to the White House. I've been fascinated by Presidential history my whole life and always make sure to stop down while I'm in town.

Floral Lace in the City

Floral Lace Dress || Kate Spade Bag || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto (Similar Here) || Boater Hat || Gold Loafers || Rumba Time Watch || Starburst Earrings || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

Two things I make sure to bring with me on trips are dresses and a good pair of flats. Dresses are the simply chic outfit all in one, while a pair of dressier flats will keep you looking polished and your feet happy while exploring. I knew that my dad and I would be doing tons and tons of walking while in D.C. (that's the fun part!) so I packed these slip on gold pointed loafers. The classic mens wear inspired shoe never fails and kept me going all day long without any discomfort. I always prefer a pointed toe to keep the look modern. The purple and pink floral print with the lace detailing could not be any more lovely. It's the perfect dress for Sunday brunch, a day of sightseeing, or a fun date night filled with walks in the park, ice cream, and a movie. I'm wearing a size small for reference.

For the beginning of this day in D.C., my dad and I did a tour of the Capitol building and went to Union Station to meet some friends of mine. We then all had lunch al fresco at a new restaurant called Romero and Juliet. It's right near Union Station and I highly recommend it if you're in the neighborhood. Next, we all trekked down to the Library of Congress. I kept joking that I was waiting for Nick Cage to pop out at any time! Both the Capitol and Library are magnificent buildings. I was blown away by the grandeur and architecture between the two. Simply breathtaking. Below are some indoor photos from each.

Ball Gown

Dress W+E Ball Gown c/o Also love (this one) and (this one) || Pink Heels || Humble Chic Heart Necklace c/o || Starburst Earrings || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Rumba Time Watch c/o ||

A ball gown is one of those items that always reminds me of a princess and let me tell you, as soon as I put this pink tulle gown on, I felt like one! My love for tulle knows no bounds. I'm wearing a US 2, which fit perfectly, plus there is a bra strap in the back making this dress simple and secure to wear without one. I did have to hem the dress since the length was overwhelming for my 5'2 frame. Short people problems! I love the voluminous flair of the skirt and how its not too puffy, but rather skims the body and falls gracefully. The little flower appliques with rhinestones are the grand finishing touch to make this gown simply sweet.

It should be noted that the dress I chose and the dress that was sent are different making me conclude the company does reproduction dresses from images. Nonetheless, I'm still head over heels enamored with how the gown came out. Make sure to check below for some behind the scenes photographs from the shoot!

Behind The Scenes Photos:

I had an absolute blast shooting these photos! I was lucky enough to have my dad and relative Mark help out. These two were amazing. I used the tripod a bit, my dad would help shoot if it was a difficult spot, and Mark scouted and set up the location for me. We were on the roof top of City Center DC right after sunset. The perfect time to be donning your formal attire.

Fluffy Jacket + Rehoboth Beach

I've had this jacket for some time now, but haven't worn it yet. On our most recent trip to Rehoboth Beach, (more photos below) I knew the weather was going to be nice and would only need a light sweater and jacket for the day. This jacket is full of whimsy and is the prettiest shade of rose. I love how fun the feathery tassels are. I wanted to look to have softer colors with a bright pop of pink to give it a little punch.

Here's some snaps from our Rehoboth Beach trip this past week to see the Christmas tree lighting. I haven't finished working on all of the pictures yet, but this is a good representation of our time there. The weather was amazing and the town was so magical with all of the decorations and twinkle lights. It was even warm enough at night for my dad and I to enjoy some drinks al fresco at The Boardwalk Plaza. Also, if you ever happen to be in town, try out Kaisy's Delight. It's an Austrian pancake with powdered sugar on top. I literally went every single morning to get my little treat!

Whenever I travel, I always dress for the destination in mind. My dad, Ava, and I all traveled down to Valley Forge this past Friday for a seminar. I always go to the park and explore all the beautiful scenery it has to offer. Knowing that I'll be doing quite a bit of walking, I opted for flat boots that would be practical for the fall weather. There's nothing quite like seeing all of the beautiful leaves together in one place, whether they be still on the trees or blanketing the ground. There was a heavy fog lifting when we arrived that gave a mystical feeling. I'm always drawn to plaid in the fall, or any time of the year really, and wanted to layer it in a cozy glam faux fur vest. I'm been getting a lot of miles out of vests lately, you can never go wrong with them! The weather was cool, but getting warmer in the afternoon when I could simply take off the vest and be comfortable. To add another touch of elegance, I added this pearl crystal statement necklace from Humble Chic. I've been wearing this a lot lately since it goes with everything and adds class to any look. This would be a great necklace for the holidays as either a gift or to add some sparkle to your look!

Fall Uniform + Day 2 of the Finger Lakes

Mixed Plaid Shirt wearing an x-small || Destroyed Skinny Jeans || Similar Tory Burch Bag || Vince Camuto Bootie || Sunnies c/o via Endless Eyewear || Rox N Bunny Ava Earrings c/o ||

Happy Friday lovelies! I think everyone can agree that a plaid shirt is essential for your fall wardrobe. Am I right?! I love how this one mixes in the chambray detail making it unique and classic. You could wear it casual like I did with jeans and booties or with a circle skirt for a little extra glam look. This was the perfect casual comfy outfit for the second day of our trip in the Finger Lakes. I wanted something easy, casual, and classic. We were also traveling back home so I needed my outfit to be comfy. As I mentioned before here, Justin and I love to drive around and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We always stop at Gimme Coffee in Trumansburg to fuel up. I've always adored their latte's in particular. We stopped off at the Allan H Treman State Marine Park for our picnic before we left. It was an amazingly gorgeous day to sit and gaze out at the harbor with the pretty sail boats passing by. Definitely a spot I would recommend if you ever have the chance.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Camel Cape + Finger Lakes Day 1

Twill Cape || Similar Striped Pullover || Destroyed Skinny Jeans || Similar TB Bag || LC Riding Boots || Karen Walker Sunnies via Endless Eyewear c/o || Rox N Bunny Ava Earrings c/o ||

One of our favorite places to visit is the Finger Lakes in New York. Justin and I had our "mini moon" there right after our wedding in 2011. Our big honeymoon was Disney the following year. What we personally love is to drive around while sipping on our coffee or tea and enjoy the beautiful scenery all around us. Bully Hill near Keuka Lake is our favorite winery hands down. It carries the Ravat 51, pictured above, which has a very sweet pineapple taste. If you can, definitely try this out! The other detail photos of the apples, corn, and flowers were also taken around the Bully Hill winery. They have amazing landscaping. The photo of Justin, Ava and I was taken down by Keuka Lake on the little park where we had a picnic. We'll bring our own food and a portable grill to have picnics next to the lakes whenever we get hungry. It's a fantastic way to enjoy being outside. This year was a quick over night trip with the first day simply being to drive around, stop at Bully Hill, and have picnics along the lakes. It's so relaxing since there is hardly any traffic on the back roads and you can drive for miles and miles at your own pace.

I knew our first day there was going to be on the cooler side so I pulled out this striped sweater, which is light weight and super soft, to layer under the cape. I wanted something relaxed and easy for the drive and any walking or picnicking we would be doing. The cape added just the right amount of warmth for a fall day without over heating. I never had to take it off and I love how versatile it is! Riding boots are essential for me when it comes to fall and winter styles. I practically live in them. This LC pair has gotten so much use and has a fantastic quality for being under $70.

Has anyone ever been to the Finger Lakes? If you are traveling there and have any questions please let me know! Stay tuned for our second day there.

Silver Lake...

Sleeveless Version and Navy Version of the dress || Similar Red Bag || Similar Bow Pumps || Rox N Bunny Earrings c/o || Crystal Blush Ring ||

Happy Friday all! I wore this damask print dress out on the town during one of the beautiful days we had in Rehoboth Beach. I love the bold black and white print with a pop of red and some cute bow pumps. I actually bought this dress right before I found out I was pregnant. Then I got incredibly sick and never had a chance to wear it until now. The dress is perfect for a night out or can be dressed down for day with a cardi and flats. Anyway, we eventually walked down to Silver Lake during the sunset. It's one of my favorite walks while in town; the other being a walk to Gerar Lake. It's so peaceful and charming with the pretty houses, beautiful lakes, and of course that wonderfully soothing thing called the ocean. I hope everyone has a great weekend! If you live on the east coast like me please be safe with the hurricane coming through.

One thing I love to do in the summer is cruise around the lake near our house with the windows down, breeze in my hair, and sunshine kissing my face. There's nothing quite like it and the relaxation puts me in the best mood. Justin and I make a habit of doing this a few times a week where we can catch up with what's been going on or simply sit back and just enjoy the scenery. For our most recent drive I wore a nautical outfit (I seem to be constantly in anything nautical once summer hits!) with this beautiful princess necklace from Rox N Bunny. The outfit reminds me of something Kate Middleton would wear. I also love how this could totally be a transition outfit into the cooler months of fall as well. It was quite breezy out so the blazer was a must (and would be perfect for fall) or you could rock this outfit without the blazer in the warm summer sun. Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!
