1st lesson!

I finally got back from Nantucket at 1:30 am last night after an extra-long and rainy drive from Boston to Quebec. We had a great trip that included fishing, fine dining, visiting the whaling museum (a must-see!) and hanging out with a great family in a beautiful house! I can't believe how lucky we are! I have to say that I am sorry though, because the weather and situation didn't allow for that much picture taking, and I didn't even take a pic of my best outfit...

Shirt: American Apparel Sunglasses Betsey Johnson

I swear we got a really big bluefish (that we smoked and ate later that night) but I couldn't photograph it since I was helping to catch it with the net you see in the picture. And afterwards well... it was dead and I didn't feel it would be a very inspiring picture!

The beautiful house we stayed at!

 A bit of yummy food!

I am learning the basics of blogging and I think my first lesson is: take more pics! And my lesson for people who want to go to (or get out of) Nantucket is: book your ferry in advance!!

Nantucket inspiration

So I'm pretty lucky! My boyfriend is doing a 1-month internship in Boston and we are invited to Nantucket by one of his father's friends who has a house there. For the last 2 weeks I have been really excited to go there and wear super-preppy clothes and stripes and stuff. On a preppy to edgy spectrum I would say I'm usually way more on the edgy (some would even say hipster) side... But I like to dress for the occasion and since I started to date a southern boy I have to admit that I became more interested in polo shirts and pearls...

I browsed for prep-inspiration and fell in love with Sarah Vickers' blog Classy Girls Wear Pearls. Although it would make me feel too serious or ladylike to dress like that every day (and I don't have the wallet for it), I really like some of her outfits!

Here are some of my favorite pics from her blog (though most of them are beautiful!)

This one really looks like a Ralph Lauren or Tommy Hilfiger ad!!

So in the next few days I will be posting about what I could find in my wardrobe to recreate that preppy New England feel! I can't wait :)

P.S. Your comments make my day :)

Getting started!

I had been waiting several months before starting this blog. Waiting for what? I don't know, some inspiration, some time, some crazy ideas. I've decided that I would finally get started now as I have a cool trip coming up that will give me some fun ideas to post about. In this blog I will share mostly fashion inspiration and photos of my own style, but also other fun stuff like food, decoration, music, etc.!

Stay tuned for posts about my upcoming Nantucket trip!
