Come Sail Away

Greenwich offers some of the most beautiful scenery for outfit shoots. These pictures were taken outside the beautiful Delamar Hotel in Greenwich, Connecticut right along the water.

"Breakthrough Fashion Blogger of the Year" Contest

I had so much fun working with my amazing Dad to shoot these pictures for the "Breakthrough Fashion Blogger of the Year" contest. A requirement of this contest was to style your favorite pieces from H&M. H&M has been my go-to fashion destination since I was about 13. They have amazing pieces at inexpensive prices that can complete any wardrobe. I love finding pieces that draw the eye and receive comments like, "That's from H&M? It looks designer." H&M allows me to play around with fashion and take trendy risks I normally would never take. I had a great time shooting this outfit and I hope you enjoy! (If you pay close attention in these pictures you can see how my curly hair battled with the humidity throughout this entire shoot.)

The wind started blowing and my hair refused to cooperate.

Letters to Camp



My little sister is off to camp for the first time! She's away for two weeks, and the only way to contact her is through letters. Sitting down to write her her first letter I realized I haven't actually mailed a letter in a very very long time! There was something personal about sitting down with pen and paper and just writing. I've always loved stationary, and thankfully there are some cute options out there! Here are some of my favorites...

National Wear Your Lilly Day

Happy National Wear Your Lilly Day and Happy Father's Day! I'm on my way to drop my sister off at camp right now, so I have to keep this post short and sweet. Lilly Pulitzer has always been a source of positive and flirty inspiration in my life. The bright colors and eye catching patterns of this iconic brand define the word "preppy" in my mind. In honor of National Wear Your Lilly Day here are my favorite +Lilly Pulitzer  pieces available right now...

Beach Week

Happy Friday! 
I've tried to sit down and write this post 10 times this week, but bad internet connection kept getting in the wayThe beach is one of my favorite places in the entire world, and it's difficult enough to get things done when you know the ocean is right outside your window. So this post is more of a photo round up than anything else. Sun, sand and relaxation is the key to the start of the perfect summer.  


Wearing +Victoria's Secret bikini separates, +vineyard vines hat, and +Target sunglasses.




AM walks on the beach every morning 


It was in the 90s all week, and oh my gosh it was hot!


This +vineyard vines baseball cap does the trick of keeping the sun off of me, while still looking pretty in pink. It didn't leave my head all week! 


My goofy brother left his sunglasses on the beach and wrote, "DON'T TAKE" in the sand next to them. 


Brother, me, and my sister


Paddle boarding for my first time yesterday. Balance was difficult at first, but it was smooth sailing after that. My little sister is bringing up the rear in this picture.

Lululemon Swimwear

The panic that occurs every year around May: "I need new bathing suites! Where am I going to get them?" This is a frequently asked question that I rarely have an answer to. I hate buying bikinis that don't even make it through one season, so my go-to answer is normally Victoria's Secret. I've never been disappointed with the quality of their swim wear, but sometimes they don't have exactly what I'm looking for. Yesterday, via Twitter I was introduced to Lululemon's swimwear.

Because these separates are expensive I would love to see how durable they are. If anyone has purchased a bathing suit from Lululemon before, please let me know!
