Cheers~ we made it to Friday! 🙌🏻

This felt like the longest week in what has already been the longest month 🫠 - so I am feeling those TGIF vibes big time this morning. Anyone else feeling like this week/month absolutely dragged?! We are headed up to the mountain for the weekend & am looking forward to unplugging, getting out in the snow, & fully decompressing. Weekend on deck looking like 👉🏻
❄️🎿📚☕️🏔️🍷 & could not be happier about it. Happy Friday everyone~ and heres hoping your weekend looks like whatever you need to refill that cup!

This snap is from last weekend when we got out of the house for a bit for some errands, sushi, & sips. I pulled out this new striped feather cuffed top that I recently got on major sale and absolutely loooove! Comes in a short sleeved version as well!

Day One of our #Rocktober and I am kicking it off with the prompt ‘Witchy Woman’! Donned this all black ‘fit for our anniversary dinner while up in Iverness in Cape Bretton. I have always loved a classic slip dress but was always weary with how they would look on~ but picked this one up from J.Crew after reading so many great reviews & absolutely love. Super flattering and instant classic closet staple for years to come. And the perfect ‘witchy’ vibes to start our #copyourfashionnotes wickedly good style challenge 🖤

Still feeling those warm vibes from my weekend in the sun even if I am firmly back in winter here in Maine. This little polka dot swimsuit wrap and polka dot one piece were perfect for the prompt for What’s Love Dot To Do With It 💃 Love that these two pieces together actually look like a dress~ a twirly one seaside at that!

Red boots, pink skies!

These red Hunters are a go to year round but are perfect for February, the month of red and for chilly seaside walks!

FriYAY Favorites!

TGIF friends! This week- and honestly the past month- have been a doozy. Am super happy today is Friday even if it is FAH-REEZING here in Maine. Kicking off February with a little Friday roundup of this week’s or recent random favorites:
*Recent purchase- New Balance kicks (so comfy and so cute!)
*Products- Oribe Serene Scalp and Laneige Water Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask (the winter wreaks havoc on my skin and scalp with how dry it is & these products have been life savers the last few weeks with how cold and dry it has been!)
*Reads- How to Sell a Haunted House (what a wild ride this one was) and Remarkably Bright Creatures (loved this story)
*And to round out the workout/wellness- Beyond Yoga Leggings. They are a little pricey but these have become my favorite leggings to workout in. Super soft and do not move (haaate when leggings roll down). I ended up grabbing in two fun colors and wear them for workouts and at home all the time.

Have linked these items along with a similar cozy leopard print fleece for a cute & warm pullover for these chilly temps and these faux leather leggings!

We spent our last full day during our recent trip to Scotland exploring and revisiting favs of Edinburgh. We were here several years ago for part of our honeymoon and had wanted to hit some of the streets & historic alleys we had wandered before.

Stripes, smiles, & pumpkins for this Monday!

Squeezed in some of the last of the fall feels over the weekend before fully jumping into the holidays. But am planning on starting to swap out my pumpkins for balsam fir starting this week~ am pulling out those bins today and you can find me sipping hot bevs and listening to holiday tunes as I start decking them halls! I have already started my first holiday read and I totally watched the new Lindsay Lohan Netflix holiday movie (loved!) over the weekend so I was already sprinkling those holiday feels in! And as our unseasonably warm temps have dropped right back down, it’s feeling like the perfect time to get into the spirit 🌲 Happy Monday friends!

This snap is actually from October when I pulled out my Parisian preppy details to take a fall spin out to the island for sunset- these are currently on sale and the cardigan and striped ribbed top would still make perfect pieces to mix into your holiday looks!

I had grabbed this little top about a week ago thinking it would be perfect for early fall and then again for next spring and summer! Pulled out along with my new jeans (had been searching for jeans for 2 years unsuccessfully before pulling the trigger to finally splurge on these and absolutely loooove) for a movie date last night to see See How They Run- such a fun flick that immediately made me want to pick up an Agatha Christie novel! Starting to line up all my fall to dos including all the fall movies and shows being released and last night’s movie was the perfect way to kick that off! Happy hump day friends!

Sailing into this new week like 💙

Had a super low key weekend getting a bunch of needed stuff done around the house including changing out my summer wardrobe to make room for my fall wear. And even though we had some gorgeous summer weather here (I even was able to get out on a deck for lunch to enjoy it with a bestie Saturday), I have started to also change out my home decor. All things pumpkin my friends 😆🎃🍁 Have you started to change your wardrobe or home decor out yet? Happy Monday friends!!

Friday evening was the only time I was dressed in anything other than a swimsuit 😆 Tossed on some newer striped shorts and my linen blazer to hit a new spot in town for (their AC!) and dinner!

We got home late Tuesday night from an incredible trip to Paris. Feeling happy, exhausted, and glad to be home with our fur babies. Paris was everything I had hoped it to be & more~ I already can’t wait to get back! A definite highlight for us though was actually leaving Paris for the day this past Sunday for a day trip to Reims (champagne region). The history, the charm, the beauty, & the bubbles 🥂- tout magnifique! Also magnifique was this wrap dress with flutter sleeves I had worn for the day’s explorations- super comfy & cute.

~Travel Tuesday~ Beach Trip! 🌊

We spent MDW fully getting our beach weekend on to kick off the summer! I love spending that holiday weekend, when possible, checking out new to us warm weather spots & soaking in all the beach time in anticipation for the summer ahead. This year we checked out a spot I had long been wanting to visit- Rosemary Beach. The area is also known as 30A or the Emerald Coast and boy did the water and beach live up to that Emerald reference 😍 Stunning turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and the most charming downtown areas. Cannot recommend this spot enough and already look forward to getting back to visit again at some point. Do you have any beach trips planned for the upcoming summer? We don’t have anything currently booked on our end that’s beach specific but would like to road trip to a New England beach spot at one point this summer! That summer calendar fills up quickly 😂 Happy Tuesday friends! And happy summer planning ahead!

This red one piece is a favorite swimsuit of mine that I grabbed last season. This exact one is no longer available but linked a couple of similar options here! 👉🏻
