I can't tell you how much I appreciated accessories until I got pregnant. When clothes aren't fitting right anymore (which is every day btw), it's so nice to still be able to play around with bags, shoes, and jewelry. So this little Kate Spade number with its fabulous interchangeable flaps it's making my heart extra happy on the days when I feel bloated and exhausted (which is also every day). And that's a pretty big feat for a bag.
Read MoreThe Fourth of July has always been one of my very favorite holidays. It's smack dab in the middle of summer (actually more of a kick off to summer here in New England), and it just has an overall happy vibe.

So simply strolling the streets of Nantucket always ranks as one of my favorite pastimes when we visit.
Read MoreLittle Compton might be my favorite little corner of Rhode Island. I don't like to mention it much, because I'm afraid the secret will get out - but it's really just so special. Mainly because it's so untouched by tourism, and time really does seem to stand still.
