Off To The Beach

Every summer I anxiously anticipate our annual trip to the majestic little island of Nantucket. There is something so magical about this summer destination. I mean, almost every year we go something happens that would normally sour our mood {hurricanes, illnesses, swarms of mosquito bites and so on} and not once have we ever had a bad time. I look forward to some quality down time with my overworked husband and just enjoying the slower pace of life that the island has. My packing list is all casual attire to hit up the beach as much as possible with a few flowing sundresses for dinners out with my man and friends. I will be signing off for a bit and enjoying some time away from the computer but if you want to come say hi - please do so over on instagram!

Float On

With Memorial Day quickly approaching I have nothing but summer on my mind. I can't wait for days by the beach, cookouts with friends and family, boat rides and long days of sunshine all make for the perfect warm weather days. Since we spend a lot of time out on Shelter Island where the beaches are quite rocky we often find ourselves lounging poolside. To amp up the fun in the water I put together a few of my favorite floats that will be most definitely be fun for any member of the family. I just can't decide which one to pack in my suitcase for the long weekend!

Just Beachy

I don't know about you all but I am looking forward to spending as much time at the beach as possible this Summer. Growing up on Long Island near some of New York's best beaches meant we visited the ocean year round. However it's pretty safe to say when the temps rise and the sun is out, there is no better time to visit the beach then in the summer. While I don't get to visit our childhood destination of Fire Island anymore, I am happy as a clam wherever there is sand, water & my beach essentials like the little round up below. Is there anything better then reading some favorite magazines or a great novel with your toes in the sand? I think not.
