Vineyard Haven

July 10, 2013 by Emily 21 Comments

Next to Oak Bluffs lies Vineyard Haven [in the greater town of Tisbury], a sweet little harbor town, and the home of the original Black Dog [it was a restaurant and tavern long before it became a line of souvenir shops!]. We had one of our quieter afternoons of the week exploring this little part of the island, and loved the sight of the tall ships so much that we returned that evening for a ride on The Alabama. More on such to come… 🙂

Also in Vineyard Haven rests West Chop Light, built in 1891, though to my dismay, it now belongs to the Coast Guard, so no tours inside for us!

Horsing Around

[ Posey Dress, Lilly Pulitzer, $228 ]
[Kentucky Derby Carolina Dress, Vineyard Vines, $198 ]
[ Mrs. Murray Hat, Vineyard Vines, $198 ]
[ Monogrammed Derby Straw Hat, Marley Lilly, $36 ]

For a New England girl, I happen to love the Southern tradition of the Kentucky Derby. I mean, give me some seersucker, bow sashes, and floppy hats any day and I’ll be happy, so I guess the Derby is really just an excuse… either way, I plan on betting some mint juleps this Saturday! Will you be celebrating? Or at least dressing for the occasion?

Anchored Down

April 18, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’m back to posting today because I know we have to at least attempt to return to a sense of normalcy around here. Monday’s events are still first on my mind, and my thoughts and prayers are still with the victims and all affected.

Dress, Jack Wills [similar] // Oxford, Gap [similar] // Sunglasses, Personalized From Me to You // Wrap Bracelet, KJP x Brooks Brothers // Wellies, Hunter

I’m just about done with pants for the year. And tights. Unless they are of a pastel color, pants are out and it’s dresses and skirts with bare legs from here on out. Until they no longer cause extreme goosebumps (seen below), oxfords and lower leg-covering footwear are in.

Lobster Roll

Sweater, Forever 21 // Zippered Skinny Jeans, Forever 21 // Bracelets, oh buoy Boston; KJP // Boat shoes, Sperry Top-Sider

It’s maybepossiblysortof finally feeling like spring! That means pastel jeans and nautical motifs as far as I’m concerned. And if it has to still be a sweater, at least there’s a lobster on it.

The Queen of Prep

April 8, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau passed away peacefully yesterday morning at her home in Palm Beach at the age of 81. Her colorful way of living has inspired me every day for years. This beautiful woman turned her depression into a juice stand, which turned into a line of dresses, which turned into a way of life. She leaves a legacy that I know will continue to keep the fashion world cheery and bright for years to come.

Life’s a party, dress like it.

Opa Gingham Style

February 27, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

Lauren Puffer Vest, Lilly Pulitzer // Gingham Shirt, Vineyard Vines // Jeans, American Eagle // Starfish Headband, Vineyard Vines // Bracelets, Lilly Pulitzer; Kiel James Patrick, Alex & Ani // Desert Boots, Wild Diva [similar]

Pink puffer vest strikes again! Bright pinks like this and cheery blue gingham like this are the only things getting me through this horrid winter (ie. the only days it’s not snowing it’s raining with 40 mph wind instead). I’m looking forward to spring more than I can express in words, so right now I’ll let the vibrant colors and picnic-ready patterns do the talking…!

Buttons and Bows: Lilly Pulitzer Evie Dress

February 5, 2013 by Emily 15 Comments

Lilly Pulitzer Evie Dress // J.Crew Cardigan [similar] // Laren Ralph Lauren Pearls [similar] // American Apparel Bow // Kiel James Patrick Rope bracelet // Lauren Ralph Lauren Riding Boots [similar]

If this isn’t my personal style wrapped up into an outfit, I’m not sure what is. A whimsy printed dress, navy blue + kelly green color combo, pearls, bows, and Lilly? If my life were an occupation, this would be the uniform.
