Beach Retreat

March 5th, 2012

Ray-Ban Aviators, Zara Sweater, Club Monaco Skirt, Mulberry Bag, J.Crew Sandals, Chanel ‘Black Satin’ Polish, Vintage Pins, Melissa Joy Manning and Iwona Ludyga Skull Ring

I did a good job disconnecting this past weekend (per this post), though I must admit the insane weather certainly made it a lot easier. Besides preparing for SXSW, we managed to take in the sunset (with oysters and drinks, no less) both evenings by the beach. I left my heels at home in lieu of flat sandals and barely changed out of my white chunky knit the entire time.

    I love that you wore black nails with a light and airy outfit to the beach. Nice contrast. I also adore all the little baby rings you’re wearing.

    Glad to hear you “shut down” this weekend. I still need to do that. Especially when my son is like, “mamamamamamama” and I’m saying, “one minute, I just need to PIN this!” It’s sick. Also, I definitely have that same bow pin as you. I don’t even know where I got it, but it’s in my drawer! So cute!

  • http://champagne-escapades.blogspot.com Elizabeth

    Absolutely adorable head to toe. Especially LOVE the rings! I still can’t seem to find a super gold band ring anywhere and I have been on the hunt for months and months!

    When I worked at CM that skirt was one of my personal faves, it looks great on you :)

    Adore the detail on the skirt. So jealous of your great weather. It was 50 in Michigan today and you would have thought it was 70, everyone was wearing capris and no coats.. haha.

    Hello Emily.
    I have to say, I truly love your blog. I was reading about the SXSW and it is a shame I will not be able to attend, however I was wondering if this is going to be broadcasting, or something like that, since it call my attention deeply.
    Regards, Dani

    Photos like this make is almost impossible to stand the current temperatures in NYC, and it’s not even that cold! I’m so tempted to move to California. People always complain about the traffic in LA, but I’ll take that any day if there sunny skies to go with!

    Hey lovely,
    Your nail color is stellar. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Tuff Scent but they just came out with an incredible black scented polish called “Ink: Black Creme” that smells like french lavender. It’s seriously the best black polish I’ve ever used. Only takes one coat and it smells great! Just thought I’d share my latest obsession. Here’s the link if you’re interested:
