Vineyard.

T and I just went to Martha's Vineyard for the first time over Columbus Day Weekend for our good friend's wedding. Though it wasn't beach weather, it was the perfect weekend for their tented wedding that was situated at Beach Plum Inn. Since it was a holiday weekend, we all got to hang out with the newlyweds the next day. I loved this idea - more often than not, you only get to see the couple the night of the wedding or at brunch the day after. We spent the day in town for shopping and football at a local bar on the wharf in Edgartown. 

This weekend was also the official one year mark before our wedding. Here is to hoping we get the same amazing weather Matt and Maria got!

Three-day weekends always seem to go by just as quickly as two-day weekends. I spent Columbus day weekend in the city and took advantage of all the great sales (and of course at J.Crew!). The new "Andie" chinos from J.Crew are a current favorite and a nice alternative to jeans this fall.

Home for the holidays and can't believe Christmas is already over. A couple of my favorite gifts were my Barbour jacket and leather texting gloves! Surprisingly green and red, respectively.

P.S. Today is my 100th post! Thanks for following along and I look forward to more to come!

Some times, most times, keeping it simple looks best. Paired a sheer checked button down with the most comfortable pants from J.Crew. I wish they had these in more colors, they fit perfectly and feel like pajama pants. A basic palette really made my nail color pop (when my sleeve wasn't covering them!)!

Old School.

 Believe it or not, this blazer is vintage. Vintage as in I got it in high school and vintage as in I bought it from Abercrombie way back when Abercrombie may or may not have dictated my entire wardrobe. Of course I liked to add my own bits and pieces to the brand's staples, like pairing argyle knee socks and a rugged pair of Birkenstock's (remember those!?) in order to separate myself from the sea of A&F clones, and while it has been years since stepping foot into A&F's doors, whipping this piece out for Easter Dinner made me realize how much their quality has diminished since my A&F sporting days.

The intricate detail of this blazer à la corduroy elbow pads and wooden buttons screams classic. So much so that practically 10 years later I can still wear it as a light jacket.

As you can see, I decided to take my Aaden Flats for another spin around town.

Follow-up: I think I have finally broken them in!

Tuxedo.

Our fashion closet was giving away some great pieces, I repeat - giving them away! I got my hands on this Joseph Gemma blouse and was so lucky that it was in my size! I think it's so different and a piece I would never actually purchase had I seen it in a store. I paired it with velvet shorts, don't know how much longer I'll be able to pull these off before I need to put them away for the season!
