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!

If you live on the east coast then I'm sure you've been experiencing the rain and cooler temps that we've been having. What happened to all of the nice warm weather?!? I'm crossing my fingers for spring to return soon!

My most favorite color combo is blush and blue. The bright royal blue of this dress and clutch really pop beautifully against a neutral color like blush. This dress has a classic cool French girl feeling with the stripes and fitted style. It is a bit on the shorter side so taller girls may find this to be too short for them. Anything with stripes reminds me of either nautical or Parisian styles. Sometimes when I'm traveling light, I'll opt for a smaller bag like this wristlet to carry all of my essentials. I can usually fit my phone, keys, lipstick, mirror, credit cards, and cash without hassle. On this particular day, I took a quick trip with Ava down to Josie's Italian Water Ice for some gelati. I let her taste some of the vanilla gelato and she loved it!
