Summer Soirée

 
Scenes from a summer soirée. The return of social gatherings this summer has been a breath of fresh air. I don’t think I will ever take time spent with family and friends for granted. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with familiar faces for small talk, deep conversations, and everything in between. I’m planning to enjoy a low key 4th of July by the lake this year, but hope to have more nights like these in the weeks to come.

The Ocean House Sipping Terrace

Shirt // Skirt // Sandals // Bag // Earrings // Hat

Last month, Kiel and I attended the opening of the Ocean House Sipping terrace. This was our first social event in quite a long time and it was a breath of fresh air to be back at the Ocean House reconnecting with friends and familiar faces. The terrace is part of a special collaboration with SipSmith Gin offering guests a private dining experience, or afternoon tea, in a charming greenhouse decorated with lemon trees and bistro tables adorned with Portmeirion botanical dishes.

Spring at the Shire

Jacket: Barbour, Sweater: Mango (similar), Skirt: Ulla Johnson, Necklace: Kiel James Patrick (coming soon), Boots: Hunter 

Spring has sprung at the Shire! Kiel and I took these family photos a couple of days before Easter at the Hobbit Hole at the Preserve in Rhode Island. A few months back we had the pleasure of eating inside the hobbit hole with friends for dinner. The inside is as cozy as you can imagine, especially when there is a fire roaring, candles lit on the table, and cozy fur blankets draped on the chairs.

Introducing my favorite sweater this season — the Garden Bee Sweater. It’s the perfect light-weight cotton linen sweater for spring days that are warm in the sun and cool in the shade. I just love the slightly marled knit on the green sweater combined with the bee and floral embroidered design.

Harry’s Bedroom?

Bennie and Maple have taken over Harry’s bedroom and intend to snuggle in until Spring. I can’t say that I blame them! Harry’s bed is extra cozy. Sharing a glimpse of Harry’s space today. It’s very fitting for the adventures of a little boy and his two furry companions. Kiel and I love antique shopping for unique furniture and decor finds including his bed, the toy chest, and animal heads. We love to combine old pieces that have lots of character with newer finds, the anchor lamp for example is from Target.

A Christmas Tradition

Sweater // Shirt // Pants // Shoes // Hat  (all items c/o Talbots)
The holidays are filled with heart-warming traditions that I think upon fondly throughout the year. Decorating the tree, baking cookies, watching our favorite Christmas movies, having Harry select his own special ornament each year from Henry’s Christmas Tree Farm, there are so many things to look forward to during the month of December.
