Girls Only

No offense to the fellas but today is strictly for girls only. Today I want to to talk about the garments that we wear underneath all our fashionable items. You know those torture devices that keep everything in place and smooths out our figures to look it's best in your clothes.  Pretty much every woman I know has worn some sort of shape wear, even the thin gals need a little help keeping everything where it should be. I will never forget the first time my husband saw me putting on a pair of tights {it looked something like this} that had the built in control top. The ridiculous maneuvers and moves I displayed as I squeezed my german hips into these impossibly taught nylons left him stunned like a deer in headlights...I knew when he stayed with me after that it was true love and also that some women's secrets are better put on in the bathroom where no one witnesses you squirm into spandex. So back to the task at hand being the curvy gal that I am I have tried about a million different styles and finally have a few favorites that I thought are perfect for wearing under dresses, pants and whatever else your body desires. 

Weekend Wear - Lilly Pulitzer

Today we are departing this enchanted little island and I literally want to throw a tantrum like a toddler  kicking and screaming so I dont have to go but I will refrain and be on my best behavior as I am also feeling extremely lucky to have had this amazing week away. We just had the best time, weather, food and relaxation that I know my husband desperately needed and deserved. One thing I am bringing back from the trip is a few new Lilly Pulitzer items. I have to admit, while I did grow up with some preppy duds, this brand wasn't one of them. It was all a bit too watermelon-y for me. However as an adult I have fallen in love with their cheery patterns, bold color combinations and classic silhouettes. I picked up this beauty during my stay and plan on wearing it all summer long with white denim and gold sandals. This sparkly tunic had a great tailored fit and the beading was extremely intricate... never mind that it was my favorite neon color. However come summer, nothing is easier then a dress that can go from day to night, check out some other Lilly favorites including this fabulous vintage number!

Sales Galore!

Happy Friday friends...I am so sad to be wrapping up the most amazing vacation. I am also literally in the worst place to ever write a blog. The wireless internet is so temperamental and anything I do on my phone uses three times the battery life which means by the time I have something worth sharing my phone is dead, so needless to say, todays post is a short one. What is working is my inbox and it is chock full of sales from some of my favorite stores. It seems now is the perfect time to build your summer wardrobe without breaking the bank. Afterall today is ofically the first day of summer!

Juicy Couture {summer sale} - neon yellow dress // sunburst dress {own & love} // black & white dress 

J.Crew {25% off your purchase, code NEWSTYLE} - pineapple swimwear // tortoise statement necklace // big spot dress // green sandals // pleated chiffon top // gold foil cork clutch

Calypso St. Barth {$50 off every $175, code GCSUM13} - eyelet cotton dress // floral clutch // crystal sandals // embroidered mini // flower printed poncho // pink skirt // belt // lavender tunic 

Other great sales are at Bloomingdales & Anthropologie I would be sure to pick up this summery tunic, easy day dress & adorable apron for cooking in style. I recently picked up this flowy tank and easy breezy beach dress. What summer items are you adding to your wardrobe???

Have a great weekend & Happy Shopping!!!

Thirsty Thursday - Cranberry Cocktail Spritzer

Nantucket is known for many things, beautiful shingle style homes, hydrangea covered lawns, cobblestone streets, whaling and cranberries to just name a few. Naturally this weeks cocktail had to be   inspired by these things as we are at the tail end of our vacation. What I love about this one is that the cranberry vodka has such great flavor by itself that the cocktail only needs a splash of cranberry juice for color and a little added flavor. It is a light, refreshing and all the ingredients are from New England, definitely my favorite cocktail when on this magical little island.  

Ingredients

1 oz Nantucket Triple 8 Cranberry Vodka

Splash of Nantucket Nectars Big Cranberry Juice

1/2 cup Poland Springs Lime Seltzer

Fresh Lime Wedge for garnish

Directions

Stir & Serve over ice

Cheers!

Inspired by the preppy playground that is Nantucket, I thought I would put together some fun nautical accoutrement for your bar cart or home cocktail area that ooze summer and happy times!
