Summer Arrival

It was back up in the 90°s this weekend, after far too much cold and rain, the heat was a welcome change. On Friday evening I went to the Neville Wisdom Fashion Show in New Haven, Saturday and Sunday were pretty low key. Sean and I finally visited Joey C's Boathouse in Stratford, which was an unexpectedly pleasant venue by the docks, considering it's tucked away in the back of a stripmall and has views of 95 (but they are water views, and doesn't that make all the difference?) More importantly, we both really enjoyed our meals and were happy with the decision to venture a little further out to try it, rather than sticking with their original Milford location we've frequented more times than I can recount.

  4. I can't think of a better outfit for an afternoon on the dockside! From the nautical striped blouse to the boater to the coordinated white shorts and sneakers, every detail is so perfectly summery and sea-inspired, and goes so beautifully with the background, which couldn't be anymore charming. I always envy you living in Connecticut during the summer months, and these photos pretty much 100% sum up why :)

  11. Every time I see you in a hat I swear I want to rush out and buy one, even though I know for a sad fact that I will not be able to pull them off as well as you. You look brilliant - and three cheers for trying new things!
