Nautical Outfit of the Week: Nautical Baby K

Here is Baby K, or First Mate as her mom calls her. Her mom, Erin, used to have a fun blog pre-baby and is back to blogging over at This East Coast Life. I actually met Erin in person and we went to the Lilly Pulitzer Martha Stewart Show together. I'm really not surprised at all that her daughter is already nautical!

Flirty Gems

I rarely wear dangley earrings (major job hazard) but I love the bright colors in these pieces from Flirty Gems! The blues and greens are very nautical and remind me of summer, the ocean, and vacation!

This week's photo is from Leslin of Sailing Prep. The anchor is a memorial that her yacht club just built for members who have passed and those lost at sea. What a beautiful gesture!

Spring Travels

I am so excited that I have not one but TWO fun trips planned for this spring!

First, I am going to New York with a friend for spring break (well my friend's grad school break, my work break). This will be my third annual spring trip to New York: 2009 (here, here , and here) and 2010 (which was technically late winter but close enough). I can't wait to shop, eat at some fun restaurants, and enjoy the sights! I am always looking for recommendations for restaurants and shops (I've already done the touristy things so I'm now looking for local favorites)

Then in April I am going to Hawaii for work. Yes, it is technically work BUT I love my job so I am actually looking forward to this trip. Minus the longish flight with an active toddler, I think Hawaii will be fun. H is a water baby so we'll be enjoying the pool and beach!
