Good morning, Wednesday. It's humid and hot and gloomy outside- three of my least favorite things. Oh, well. Good thing I'm just hanging out in an office today. Hunkering down like what.
So I've got a little playa respite happening in a few weeks- going to one of my most yummy places, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. I'm sure you weren't expecting me to say that about a place in Delaware, but I have mad love for this awesome beach town that has a killer boardwalk with skee ball, a funhouse, and vinegar laced french fries. I love eating hardshell crabs on a picnic table, and having a sea breeze at Obie's, and taking a morning bike ride. It's such a lovely place and I'm looking forward to a few days of fun in the sun. And though a trip to Rehoboth does not require a degree of high chic like a trip to the Hamptons or St. Tropez might, a girl's still gotta look cute, am I right?
So as I was perusing my emails this am as I broke my neck to get to the office for an early meeting (which subsequently got cancelled), I was curious to check out Barneys New York recommends for "Summer Shop Travel Essentials". As a woman who's a sucker for travel related purchases, I was excited to see their picks. Oy. I'm probably not going to be buying a cashmere travel blanket for $795. and Mark Cross's leather rolling trolley is not going to roll its way into my life for just shy of two grand. But I do love this little cheeky beach bag from Lisa Perry, she of the vintage/modish inspired fashion brand. This bag ticks off a lot of boxes for me (simple, boldy geometric, black and white, sturdy canvas) and I'm a huge fan of the interior, which is leather and has the perfect sunny attitude for a day at the beach by saying a warm "HELLO". How can you not love a cute bag that's not only chic but friendly? It also comes in pink with orange, and yellow with white. Adorable. I'd like one now please. I'd wear this all summer, and not just to the beach. It's a good piece for schlepping around all over town- from picnics in Brooklyn Bridge Park to after work barre classes. Circle gets the square indeed.
And that's what's up this well toted Wednesday. Yours, in the road well styled. XO
