To Maine, With Love

The suitcases are packed with swimsuits and sweaters, sunscreen and bug spray. I’m ready for warm beachy days and breezy nights. I’m feeling Parisian as I leave Southern Massachusetts, and though Scarborough is no Paris, I know I’m in for a good vacation. Don’t worry readers, I have posts queued up for you to read whilst I enjoy the beach!

Last Day in Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio was GORGEOUS, if you hadn’t gathered by the previous posts’ pictures. I mean, so was Costa Rica in General, but the beach owns my heart. On the last day I rocked a comfortable, airy maxi skirt with my bralet from Urban Outfitters and took one last advantage of the balcony and view.

Inspirations for Costa Rica

In exactly one week I will be in fabulous, sunny, warm San Jose, Costa Rica! I mean, not that it’s warm here, with our March days reaching almost 90 degrees in the North East, but you know what I mean.

So here goes, a visual inspiration of what I should be packing and wearing!

 

The plan: San Jose, mostly. I have day trips planned to the Arenal Volcano and the Sloth Sanctuary. I’ll also be spending four lovely days on the beach in Manuel Antonio, where I’m planning on snorkeling with some sting rays and maybe even going horse back riding!

The gist of what I’m packing? Whites, loose tees, shorts, cotton dresses, and pastels and neons!

I’m so excited for this trip, and I can’t wait to share all the pictures I take with you!

Hello from Maine! First off, Happy Thanksgiving, Followers!

Secondly, while thank you for all of your well wishing and prayers. My grandfather lasted one extra day, but now his time has come. He’s in a better place, and though I miss him dearly I know he’ll forever be in my heart.

Whilst I’m here, though, I’m spending quality time with my family. My brother actually offered to take photos of my outfits, so you’ll be getting some outfit posts shortly! I’ve also helped my dad in the kitchen, so my recipe Monday’s will be back on as well!

Here’s just a quick photo of some of the things I’ve brought with, so enjoy!

Enjoy your thanksgiving and the blessings you have, however small or great they are.

Granma’s 90th

While on vacation we took a break from our home cooked dinners to go out for my grandmother’s 90th birthday dinner. We took a nice family picture (which we then had framed and given to her as a gift). We then went to a Pine Point local restaurant called the Captain’s Galley. With minimal vegetarian options I opted for fried vegetables with penne and alfredo. My 14 year old brother, though, made my night. I’m a HUGEfan of french fries, so my brother verrrrrry sneakily snuck a fry on my plate at every chance he got, completely under my radar, making it so every time I looked down I had a greasy, delicious fry poking out of my pasta! In the picture below we had just taken a picture with his arm around me where he stuck one in my mouth. Silly, but it made my night.

Alice Yim cocoon cardigan

DB sandals

As you can see, on those cold Maine evenings I’ve been living in this amazinglyyy comfortable cocoon cardigan. Be sure to get YOURS just in time for fall here! I’ve been keeping this casual, but with my return to NYC I’ll be ready to glam up everything, so be prepared for some killer outfits to come!

Palace Playland

One extremely hot day of vacation, the BF, siblings and I hit up the downtown arcade and amusement park, Palace Playland. We splurged on all-day bracelets for the rides, which definitely worked out their worth with the log flume ride alone. With our bracelets we rode each ride a few times, and bumper car’d for a solid half hour straight.

 

After being worn out by constant motion, we moved on to the arcade and played a ton of skee ball, basketball, and motion games, winning a solid 656 tickets, used for bracelets and candy 😀

Now, for what I wore:

Wet seal tanks

Express Shorts

Charming Charlie’s bag (NEW!)

DB sandals
