Happy almost 4th to all y’all on this side of the pond! Our Fourth of July plans are currently being a bit threatened by a certain hurricane that shall remain unnamed, but inside or out, you can bet I’m still donning a full-on red, white, & blue ensemble.

Quite a few of these pieces are by Lexington, a label I just recently discovered [what?!?]. They fully encompass the idea of a New England summer, and my wallet is not as smitten with my recent finding as I am… :-O

buoys on lighthouse

Ever wondered how I became so enthralled with lighthouses? Answer: I spent far too much time playing around this one in Scituate as I was growing up!

In other news, today’s post is sponsored by Wild Butterfly Boutique! Are you as obsessed with the J.Crew Bubble Necklace as I am? I have seen many a “inspired by” version over the past couple years since J.Crew first launched them, but I have to say, without a doubt, I am most impressed with Wild Butterfly Boutique’s. They come in three shapes [ Classic, Curvy, and Mini ], depending on how long you like yours/how many bubbles, and in just about any color you could imagine. Oh, and they’re under $20. Take that JC.

That’s not all though— I also love their Infinity, Bowtie, Tear Drop, and Mustache (ha) necklaces, and their rings. I mean, can we talk about this anchor ring?!
