Summer Staple: Bucket Bags

Old Navy Bucket Bag with Tassels

For the longest time, I stewed over the bucket bag.  I loved the idea of it — the nautical inspiration, the relaxed shape — but I never was able to commit.  It was definitely uncharted waters for me and I didn’t want to spend a fortune on something I wasn’t completely sold on yet.  I mean, we can’t all shell out $6,000 for a bucket bag, am I right?

It wasn’t until recently that I finally pulled the trigger on the trend and I’m in love!  When done right, the bucket bag can be classic, playful and practical (it fits all my things, including my DSLR!).

So in the spirit of sharing, I rounded up my favorite bucket bags for you!  Whether you go with something minimalist, bold or boho, I think we can all agree that there’s something for everybody in the mix.  Happy shopping and happy weekend!

Outfit Planning: Beach Bound

It’s quite likely that as you’re reading this post, I’m soaking up the sun somewhere on the beaches of St. Martin … probably in a neon swimsuit, a large floppy hat and oversized sunnies.  Just your average Friday, right?  Well whether your plans involve the beach, the pool or a picnic blanket in the park (aka NYC’s version of laying out), I rounded up a few of my favorite swimsuits and coverups.  Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Outfit Planning: Tropical Getaway

Later this week, James and I are headed down to St. Martin for a little tropical getaway.  I did a little pre-vacay shopping this past weekend, but I have a bit more outfit planning and packing to do.  I’m thinking strappy sandals (although I’ll probably be barefoot the entire time), bright rompers and tropical print everything.  Check out the summer-ready looks I’ve conjured up and let me know which one is your fave!
