SAILING NANTUCKET


One of the highlights of my last trip to Nantucket was a sailboat ride around the sound with thirteen of my siblings, cousins, and friends (recognize Amy, CarlyEmily, and Grayson?). Not only did I get to check off #39 on my 101 in 1001 list but we spent the most delightful hour and a half dangling our feet off the sides of the boat, sipping Prosecco and snacking on picnic foods, and trying not to let our cameras and phones fall overboard. I couldn't have asked for a better group and I'm so happy to have these photos to remember it by.

P.S. I wore this sweater (now on sale) and these jeans!

OUTFIT {JOIE DRESS}



This outfit incorporates pretty much every one of my sartorial favorites: blazers, bows, navy blue, stripes... I could go on! I'm so excited for fall and couldn't resist pulling my tried-and-true schoolboy blazer out of my closet early. I'll be wearing it layered over a summery striped dress this month and over button-downs and sweaters in the cooler months to come. 

Remember when I contemplated this clutch in this post? I wound up choosing the navy (#shocker) and I've already worn it for my birthday dinner, date night, and a handful of occasions in between. The quality is killerOh and the shoes! I love a good pointed toe pump and the ladylike bow detail on this pair makes me giddy. The kicker? They're only $59.95 from SoleSociety. I mean... That's what we call a no-brainer.



SLEEPY JONES GIVEAWAY!


"Sit back. Stare at the ceiling. Stay awhile. We're starting a little movement of non-movement." So begins the story of Sleepy Jones, a sleepwear company whose classic pajama sets are the stuff dreams are made of. Inspired by creative types who'd sooner die than don a suit and tie, the line was made for working from home and lounging around on weekends. Suffice it to say I've found my new morning uniform.

How fun are these shots from Nantucket? I've slept in my Marina top with and without the matching bottoms and the Tauba shorts have been a a no-brainer for morning coffee on my fire escape since returning to the city. Fred's lucky I didn't try to steal his Henry shirt during our trip (though why borrow from the boys when you could have your very own Swiss dot robe?!).

The best part, of course, is that one of you will win the pajama set of your choice! Just follow the steps in the widget below and we'll draw the winner on Friday morning (so you can spend the weekend pondering your perfect PJs). Thanks, Sleepy Jones!
