Happy Bastille Day!

…Now, go buy this book! (Thank me later.  I got my copy back in early April… thanks to Elizabeth at So Much to Smile About.)  A must read for anyone who aspires to add a little bit of French Elegance to their life.

Blair Eadie’s Gorgeous Striped Dress!

If I had endless funds and could emulate anyone’s style, it would be a mix between Emily from Cupcakes & Cashmere, and Blair from Atlantic Pacific.  I check both blogs daily and am just a wee bit obsessed with both.  They never fail to look perfectly put together, and both are masters of mixing high with low.  Blair is especially gifted at layering.  Anyway, I fell in love when I saw Blair rocking this dress, in her post here.  I naturally just assumed that it was from Kate Spade.  The A-Line fit, the stripes, the slight sheen of the fabric.  It’s also got the cutest cut-out back.  And then I saw in her credits, that the dress is actually from ASOS… (and that it costs only $86.20!)  You can grab the dress here.  (I may or may not have purchased one for myself!)  Love.

A Cape Cod Fourth…

This past fourth of July may have been one of my all time favorites.  We were on Cape Cod (where I’m originally from,) and it was a weekend full of family, food, and plenty of beach time.
