SUMMER LOVIN'

A few highlights from last week's jaunt to Nantucket...
Family meals and Design Darling topiaries at the dinner table // Morning strolls around town, iced lattés in hand // Quality time with my adorable grandmother (and number one fan) // Wearing this tunic to the beach and to dinner // Traveling home in this dress (and possibly never taking it off)

It requires a four hour drive and a two hour ferry ride but somehow family trips to Nantucket are always worth the while. Note to self: schedule next weekend trip asap!

NEW ARRIVALS!!!


My very favorite moment of owning my online boutique is that second when I get to press "publish" on a pretty batch of new arrivals. Today I added more than thirty new items, including affordable throw pillows (in every color and pattern under the sun!), chic tortoiseshell glassware, everyone's favorite pens, pom pom throw blankets, and recycled leather notebooks. I hope you love everything as much as I do! Shop all the pretty new things HERE.

TWO PENNY BLUE IN MATCHBOOK

I was so excited to interview several inspiring female entrepreneurs for Matchbook's July issue. Two of them are Erin Gates and Marie Whitney of the brand new Boston-based company Two Penny Blue. The women designed a collection of tailored blazers in bright hues and bold patterns and I personally can't wait to make my first investment — I just need to choose between the Cambridge blazer in fuchsia silk or mint linen. The best part? Each purchase contributes a school uniform to a girls' school in Kenya. What's not to love about that?!
