Outfits of the Week Nantucket Style
I am coveting this beautiful Mirth set, the fabulous crochet sweater tunic (comes in other colors) and this beautiful bag from Bembien with the fabulous bamboo handles. I own the Bared Footwear sandals in black (pricey but uncomprimised when it comes to comfort and style). Of course I always love Machete accessories. Love how they tied all of the brown tones together.
I ordered this two piece set from Ann Taylor, and I adore the bag. The sandals receive high reviews from Target for comfort and style.
We are in the mountains with our kids this weekend. If you have been to Nantucket you know it has a way of staying with you long after you’ve left the island, perhaps in the same way you reach for brown and white in your closet, in the hydrangeas you plant by the front door, in the choice to edit and choose only what you love. I hope this week’s Sunday Faves brought a little of that magic to your Sunday morning. As always, I’d love to know if you have visited Nantucket, or is it on your list? Drop a comment below and let’s chat about it. And if you found something you loved, be sure to share this post with a friend who appreciates all the things we all love about this community.
I will be back on Tuesday with an inspiring Ageless Style interview, and for my fellow scarfaholics Susan, Jennifer and I will be featuring summer scarves on Thursday.
Now let’s pop over and visit Annie and Mary Ann for their Sunday faves
Tell us more, please, about the Bared Footwear sandals. I don’t recall seeing these when you talked about sandals that work for walking on vacation…. I see on their website that the footbed is designed by podiatrists and I’m always dreaming of a good looking sandal that I can walk miles in. A GOOD vacation sandal. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I just used your links to order the AT outfit. We can be twins. Also we have planted hydrangeas by our front …so a little Nantucket-y!
