Good morning! In the spirit of summer and the travels that ensue, we thought it would be fun to showcase the fashions seen in our destinations. It's one thing I love to do when I travel away from home. It gives me a taste of the culture and lifestyle for the state/city/country I'm in!
Cape Cod was nearly exactly as I pictured: people milling about quaint seaside towns donning chic resort wear a la Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, Talbots, etc. I had fun dressing the part here! It was still chilly when my parents and I went in May, so I was quick to layer up and grab a jacket (and a Dunkin Donuts coffee!)

In Boston I saw lots of easy, warm pieces (Harvard sweatshirts, anyone?) and classic business attire. Seeing as how I was on vacation, I opted for middle ground. I wore lots of layers and comfy shoes for TONS of walking and sightseeing!

Last stop on the vacation was a trip up the coast to Newburyport, which was a lovely town. The weather was warm(er) and the people relaxed. It was delightful.

| A stop in Salem to see the sights I read about waaay back in 7th grade! |

| Bundled up in my newly thrifted vintage coral trench ($5!) for a successful (windy/freezing) day of whale watching! |

If you haven't been up to the New England area, I highly recommend it!!! The thrifting is golden. If that isn't reason enough, the to-die-for seafood, friendly locals, and adorable towns should be. Don't think that it is just a 'Fall Foliage' destination... I couldn't imagine missing out on the quiet and cool days May had to offer, not to mention the palpable excitement of the busy summer months to come.
