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?!

CHIC SHOPPERS

I like when little things make a big difference. My mom gave me three Baggu bags when I went off to live in San Francisco last summer and, in addition to being environmentally friendly, they made me happy peeking out of my shopping cart. Now I'm coveting one of the lovely leather options as well...

Tan leather // Pink nylon // Metallic leather

Yellow leather // Green nylon // Turquoise nylon

Have any of you tried Baggu bags? Which of these would you choose?

WEEKEND WARDROBE

Loren Hope earrings // MiH Jeans top (pretty sure I would live in this!) // Wendy Mink necklace

Rag & Bone jeans // Madewell belt // Pour La Victoire wedges (now on sale!)

I have a couple more days on Nantucket and you can bet I'll be soaking up every second! A flowy top, white jeans, and leather wedges are precisely what I'd like to be wearing for dinner with the cousins and evening detours into town for ice cream cones at the Juice Bar. What are you all up to this weekend?
