PHOTOS FROM NANTUCKET...

She's going to kill me for this but please allow me one moment to brag about my friend Amy's photography. Honestly I get by on Instagram but Amy's snaps from our weekend on Nantucket had me wondering whether we were even on the same island. She has the best eye for color and composition — it was kind of amazing to just watch her at work. I'm so excited to be working with her on a few upcoming projects — stay tuned!

Here are a few of my favorite photographs she took last week. Beaches + family + girlfriends + hydrangeas + iced coffee + my favorite place on earth... You can bet I'm already counting down the days until we head back!

P.S. How gorgeous is my grandmother's lightship basket? It was a gift from my grandfather :) I love that she paired it with her Design Darling bangle! 

P.P.S. Check out Amy's blog here and be sure to follow her on Instagram! You won't regret it.

HOW HAS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE EVOLVED?

Equipment silk blouse  //  Pour La Victoire wedges

T by Alexander Wang shorts  //  Elizabeth Cole earrings

Joie tie front top  //  Tory Burch suede booties

Do you ever feel like your personal style is shifting a little bit? Of course it's a constant evolution but I do find myself being drawn to different pieces these days — a classic striped blouse, yes, but also a cool architectural bootie that would complete just about every look this fall. Maybe it's a combination of living in New York, making new friends (completely and utterly obsessed with Amy's style, for instance), and getting just a little bit older (I turn 24 next month!). 

I think a lot about the words I'd use to describe my personal style. Classic, hopefully. Edgy, never. Preppy, usually. How has your personal style evolved in recent years? How would you describe it today? I would love to hear your thoughts!

DO YOU HAVE A LUCKY NUMBER?

Mine is 7. It's the number of my family's house and I remember a childhood field trip to a cathedral where all the measurements added up to 7 (124 foot ceilings where 1 + 2 + 4 = 7). It's a little random but lucky number seven does have a nice ring to it. Do you have a lucky number? The date of your birthday, the number of your childhood jersey, the address where you grew up? I'd love to hear!

P.S. How stunning are these Lulu Frost for J.Crew code rings? I've posted them before but I still think they'd make the most beautiful gift for a very special occasion. If you're looking for a similar option that won't break the bank, I love these alphabet rings by Gorjana.
