Beachy Keen

One of my favorite things about Boston is that you are never more than an hour away from a beach. We put up with some pretty gross + unbearable winters here, but it’s worth it when summer hits and you can hop on [literally] a subway to sand. This is my favorite sort of New England beach look: a nautical two-piece, lightweight maxi dress, and a wide-brimmed sun hat. And of course sunscreen– I signed the sun savvy pledge long ago and hope you will too!

(1) Navy Stripe Bikini Bandeau + Bottoms, Topshop, $52
(2) Pulau Shades, Anthropologie, $38
(3) Maxi Dress, Free People, $100
(4) Patent Bow Sun Hat, Juicy Couture, $90
(5) Shelly Jelly Sandals, Lilly Pulitzer, $38
(6) Audrey Tote, Tory Burch, $265

Bonus points? This look also works for the 4th of July!

Spring Break Season

I thought I had experienced the last of my spring breaks when I graduated, but lucky for me, little sis is still in college and convinced me to accompany her, so I guess I got a bonus year :) Our bags were full of pretty comfortable and practical clothes for prancing around theme parks, so for today’s Spring Break Friday’s Fancies on {long distance loving}, I’ve got a different sort of suitcase on my mind…

Print-Share Bikini, Anthropologie, $156
A Petit Blossoms White Applique Skirt, Ruche, $43
Sneakers, H&M, $13
Mini Anchor Post Earrings, Catherine Weitzman via Max & Chloe, $60
Satin Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $14
A Coast Call Bag, ModCloth, $65
Anchors Away Bracelet, Kate Spade, $98
Sailor’s Knot Ring, Kate Spade, $48

Nautical screams spring to me. I’d love to learn to sail but unfortunately my fear of drowning kind of puts that one on the back burner. Maybe one day though…? Until then I’ll happily lay out in this oh-so-adorable Anthropologie bikini and watch the sailors sail by from a distance.

Happy weekend everyone! xx
