Assateague Island

I just got one of the rolls of film developed from our day trip to Assateague Island while visiting Maryland. The island is a 37 mile barrier island that extends into Virginia. The state park is home to about 100 wild ponies that roam the island freely. There are a few theories about the horses- that they were originally tamed animals that came from a Spanish shipwreck, or that they were simply colonial horses allowed to run free. The Maryland and Virginia horses are kept separated by a fence, and were made a popular tourist destination after the book Misty of Chincoteague.

Memorial Day --> Ocean City, MD --> NYC

Hey guys! It probably seemed like I checked out for a while... which I did! We went to the east coast to see Nick's grandparents and family for Memorial Day. The boardwalk was so charming and we filled up on crab, burgers, french fries, and family time. Then we headed to New York for a short trip because Nick had never been, and his brother's girlfriend lives in Brooklyn. We stayed at Hotel Giraffe on 26th and Park. They were so cute and served complimentary wine, cheese, cookies, and breakfast every day! We visited my cousin while we were there because she just recently had a baby and we'd never been to her apartment. Did a LITTLE bit of shopping while we were there- A.P.C., Madewell, Allsaints, Rag & Bone, Topshop- and got a few outfits. Hope everyone had a great holiday and happy June!

Summer Uniform

Trying to stay cute when it's 90 degrees or over can be difficult. I think that this t-shirt and shorts combo will be my summer uniform because I just bought these shorts in almost every color Gap carries. I got white, dark, light, army, etc. but they also had some printed versions if you're into that. I've been loving Gap's denim this season. I also got a pair of "straight" jeans that were basically cute boyfriend jeans. Boyfriend jeans are usually too big for my waist, so I was happily surprised to find a substitute. I like to stock up on complimentary basic items so I don't have to plan too much in the summer heat when getting dressed seems like work. This t-shirt is from F21 and I paired it with a vintage coach bag I got on Etsy. F21 has really cute basic t-shirts right now for about $5!  These sandals are Target from last summer. 

Instagram Diary

Been busy lately! Wanted to give an update though. It's finally been a bit warmer lately so I've been taking advantage by wearing dresses and being outside as much as possible. I've noticed some really great flowers blooming in our neighborhood and I've always loved flowers. Been working on getting our Save the Dates out soon. I did some more DIY stuff with a heat embosser from Paper Source. I'm working with a local calligrapher from the Pink Pen and my sample envelope looks super cute! I also did a commercial shoot for Hampton Inn recently which was really fun. They put so much makeup on me but it was hard to capture with my phone. I've included some outfits- Free People, Topshop, Michael Kors, Anthropologie...
