A DAY AT THE BEACH

That's wishful thinking, of course. It's supposed to hit 97° in Connecticut today (ick!) and naturally I wish I could transport to my favorite beach on Nantucket and set up shop beneath an umbrella for the day. In the mean time, my countdown to spending the Fourth of July on the island is alive and well...

Topshop cover-up // J.Crew stripe bikini // Chance Co. Cali beach towel

T-Bags embellished tunic // ASOS one-piece swimsuit // WOW! beach towel

If you could snap your fingers and appear on any beach right now, where would you go?

SWEATER + SHORTS

Kenneth Jay Lane earrings // Vince striped sweater // Loren Hope tassel necklace

Clare Vivier iPad case // J.Crew shorts // K. Slademade limited edition clutch

Loren Hope cocktail ring // Tuckernuck pointed toe espadrilles

Inspired by this pin, I decided to create a look around pairing sweaters and shorts. It might seem counterintuitive but for chilly nights (or excessively air-conditioned buildings) it makes quite a bit of sense. What do you think of this pairing?

DESK DU JOUR

It's been much too long since I've shared one of my favorite workspaces! This one comes from Catherine Sheppard's home tour on Glitter Guide today and I must say I'm enamored with the inspiration board hanging over her desk. Catherine says she sometimes removes everything and starts from scratch. How fun is that? I can't think of a prettier place to get productive!
