ILLUSTRATED ME!

How sweet is this? Michelle is a blogger and fashion illustrator who drew my look from this outfit post! I think she did an amazing job and captured me in some of my favorite pieces: tortoiseshell cuff, Tory Burch bag, signet ring... Oh and I'm having a pretty good hair day, don't you think? ;) Thank you so much, Michelle! Check out more of her illustrations here.

LINK LOVE

A few links for weekend "reading"...

A 360º tour of Jenna Lyons's office.

A brand new issue of Matchbook.

French blue, midnight, and instantly slimming — possibly the perfect shirt.

In case you missed it, five of my favorite shops on Nantucket.

Is there such a thing as flattering sweatpants? Psst, you can monogram them!

Our tortoiseshell glasses are back in stock!

Three words: neon piped pajamas.

Throwback favorite movie scene.

A RAINY DAY ON NANTUCKET

A few snapshots of a rainy day spent popping into shops in my favorite place in the world...

Space, 4 Old South Wharf

One Orange, 1 Old South Wharf

Peter Beaton, 16 Federal Street

Eye of the Needle, 14 Federal Street

16 Main Street

Milly & Grace, 2 Washington Street

I'll spare you the evidence of the bright green oversized raincoat I fished out of my grandmother's closet for the occasion. ;)

WEDDING WEAR

Design Darling sparkly studs  //  Allison Parris dress via Rent The Runway

J.Crew knot ring  //  J.Crew wicker clutch  //  J.Crew ankle strap sandals

Rent The Runway to the rescue! I can't tell you all how much I love this site. I was super disorganized last week and realized on Wednesday that I had no idea what I was wearing to the wedding in, oh, three days. I logged onto my favorites, sorted by what was available that weekend, and picked out this fun patterned frock that was absolutely perfect for the festivities! I highly recommend the site for birthday parties, graduations, weddings, and the like. Have you all rented a dress before? I'm already inventing excuses to do it again soon!

HAMPTONS WEEKEND!

I had the best time in the Hamptons with Alex and Sarah for Sarah's wedding. Here are a few snapshots from our weekend (as always, lots more on Instagram!).

First we stopped by Serena & Lily's summer pop-up shop in Wainscott. How fun is their striped awning?

I fell in love with these patterned dog beds. If only I had more floor space in my apartment! 

Of course their selection of pillows and throws was totally on point.

With Sarah and Alex en route to dinner. I've been living in this Rachel Pally dress!

We had the yummiest dinner at Ruschmeyer's in Montauk.

Totally coveting Sarah's Tory Burch 797 satchel. Isn't it perfect?

A morning stroll in Bridgehampton before brunch at Pierre's. In a funny turn of events, I wound up getting home from the Hamptons and then hopping back in the car to head up to Nantucket to pick up my mom. Two days in my favorite place on earth? Don't mind if I do! I'll be sharing my brief little trip on Instagram if the weather manages to clear up. Stop back in tomorrow to see what I wore to the wedding!

OFF TO THE HAMPTONS!

I'm so excited to be headed to the Hamptons for Sarah's wedding! Alex, Sarah, and I left the city this morning and I can't wait for a little fun in the sun before Sarah's big day. From the sneak peeks she's shared, I know it's going to be the most gorgeous wedding! Be sure to follow along on Instagram and have a wonderful weekend! xx

JON JOSEF LINEN SKULL LOAFERS

Fuchsia  //  Turquoise  //  Natural

I actually squealed when I found these online. Are they not absolutely perfect? I'd wear any of them with this striped sweater and these white shorts and call it a day. Easy as one, two, three!

LISA PERRY ON THE COVETEUR

If ever there were a perfect closet, surely this is it. It's hard to believe designer Lisa Perry's digs are just blocks from my apartment on the Upper East Side. I've walked by her boutique countless times and I'm thinking it's finally time for a field trip. Her playful designs will cost you a pretty penny but they're sure fun to look at: this circle sweater, this colorblocked shift, these reversible coasters... But, really, can I just play dress-up in her closet? To die for. Check out the full feature on The Coveteur!
