Blue & White in Bermuda.

Star Mela Dress 1

And so begins the slew of Bermuda posts. We took these photos in Hamilton, wandering around down by the water. I have to say, taking photos in Bermuda was a lot of fun because there are pink walls everywhere. You will notice that as we get into the rest of the posts over the next couple weeks. So I’m apologizing now for all of the pink walls. Hamilton is Bermuda’s capital, and is really just your perfect, picturesque harbor city… packed with museums, galleries, gardens, and lots of great places to shop. We popped into Urban Cottageย and then wandered down to the water and got iced coffees.

My dress is from Star Mela. I have a few of their bags (currently crushing on this one and this one!) and was so excited to see that they also make really cute embroidered dresses. I mean, you know by now that I have a really hard time saying no to anything that is shapeless, blue, and white, so this one was right up my alley.

I hope you guys had a great weekend. Mine was pretty anti-climatic which is what I needed after being away. I’m in the process of switching out my closet to Spring/Summer and have been on a donating rampage. I did manage to get a blowout and a manicure yesterday as I’m speaking on a panel this afternoon… but I was lucky to get a lot of rest and made a dent in what’s become a ratherย huge to-do list. I can’t get over this weather though… it’s absolutely beautiful here in New York… finally!

    I’ve been also trying to clean out mine and my daughter’s closets. Even though the weather is still not 100% Spring like in my city and I can’t yet completely witch to my Spring/Summer wardrobe, I can def. see that I’ll have quit a few pieces to store away and donate. ๐Ÿ™‚
    You’re looking beautiful in these photos and I think that this kind of cute, girly dress suits you perfectly!

    Any chance you want to donate your old clothes to me? :). Love this dress – and laughed when you said you’re attracted to anything shapeless. Same here!

        haha you guys are funny. You don’t want the stuff I’m donating, trust me… I’m hard on my stuff! I did just start selling at Crossroads which has been helpful! The only downside of living in New York is the closet space! xo

    J. Crew Factory has been killin’ it lately! I picked up two striped tees a few weekends ago and went back for a white and grey one this weekend….where I also found these sandals – which I love! They’re similar to the Sole Society pair I missed out on last season and the extra 35% didn’t hurt either ๐Ÿ˜‰ Looking forward to seeing the rest of your posts from the trip!

      Completely agree!!! The prices are so good and they have so many cute stripes + sandals! The wedges I wore in the Nexxus post the other day are literally the most comfortable shoes I own… I wore them to the airport (and I’m not the traveling-in-heels-type!)

    Hi Grace, Thanks for your lovely comments about my sister. We were three also. I am lucky to call both my sisters, my friends. My other sister is in Brooklyn.
    I love all the pink walls! I’m took a leave of absence in the early part of the year(not good when you can”t stop crying in front of customers)but, now I’m looking toward a beach vacation. You look so relaxed and warm in your little shift dress. Like your sandals too, but wish they came in leather(my feet get sweaty).I’m thinking about those nude wedges you wore in the Tribecca/Nexxus post. That dress was so pretty on you too! Thanks for always brightening my day.

      I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a beach vacation!!!! You deserve it, I hope you can get away.

      Those nude wedges are the most comfortable shoes I own! It is crazy. They are patent leather which could be an issue if you feet get sweaty, but I *think* that they also come in suede. Thanks for reading and commenting! xoxo

    Also since you love blue and white, the pink walls are a perfect background for you. I have a friend who only uses those pink lightbulbs(I have a few around too, like the bedroom) because, she says it’s the next best thing to candlelight and everyone looks good by candle light

      What a great idea… I am going to have to look into pink light bulbs! xx
