Let’s talk about Martha Vineyard baby!



Honestly, my main motivation for taking this trip was the love for my friends. Thank you Marcia for staying on me. Let me first say “oh what a special place” Yes, it is a playground for celebrities and the very wealthy but average Joe’s like us can also enjoy this slice of heaven. I live in New York City so my travel time was about 4.5 hrs which is a tip in the bucket  compared to a lot of visitors I met.  I met these lovely ladies from Chicago who were wearing the most fabulous hats. Greg our very charming neighbor owns one of the most beautiful homes in Oaks Bluff and he travels from Virginia. I also met a couple from London and  yes everyone talks to you and are super nice, then to think of it why wouldn’t they ? This place is utopia where people just volunteered themselves to take your pics and let you use their dog for photo opts! 😊

..



Now enough with the small talk, let’s talk about things to do...

Walking and or biking is a way of life so pack your cute comfy sandals ..



Traveling to near by towns you will need a car or scooter. The scooter rental by the pier in Oaks Bluff said it was $130 a day to rent but for cute girls $110.. sounds like a deal to me 



Circle Ave has the most amazing shops. In the event you need an outfit there are plenty of shops. My fav store there is Serenity . From the moment you walk in, you  feel just that “serenity”. This store has the most amazing plaques, trinkets, jewelry, posters, candles and more.. Everything  engraved with the most beautiful quotes. I could have spent the day just looking and reading.  

Make sure you make  space on your phone to take pics or plan to bring a real camera because there is a photo opt at every corner. I want to take this time to thank my friends for not breaking up with me on this trip but instead helping me with the most amazing pics #ineedcontent 

Must see in Oak Bluff is the “Ginger Bread cottages” they are brightly colored and every house looks different. Really special row of lovely, ornate and very unique mini houses. 



One must also jump off Jaws Bridge, sunbathe at south beach and wake early to see the most amazing sunrise and hopefully have a glass in hand to cheers to perfect sunsets.

Places to eat  in Oaks Bluff..well let me start by saying we went food shopping and they let us take the shopping cart home with our groceries.. Did I say I’m from NYC?No one gives, loan or allow you to take anything.. then to take it to the next level the supermarket was closed when we got back so we left the cart at the front door and they received  it the next day (oh I checked)... UNREAL.. Here is proof. Just a girl returning her shopping cart. 



I had an amazing lunch at Bangkok Thai cuisine,  my pad Thai was perfection and the fried banana with coconut Ice cream was the perfect addition, my girlfriends were also very happy with their meals. We were stuffed! At Nancy’s the clam chowder soup and crab cake sandwich was great but the view was everything. Watching boats come it and out was just magical. Did I mention the numerous celebrity sightings? My friends and I also enjoyed a quick meal from Nancy’s to go spot, the lobster roll was all the rave.  At 7pm backdoor donut opens and get ready for the massive lines.. My daughter introduce me to this, however,  it is well worth the wait, calories and the sugar rush.... The fried dough......AMAZING, this became our nightly guilt free activity.

  EGARTOWN  

Right fork diner  is a must,  not only is the breakfast spectacular but the ambiance is just so wonderful. Biplanes from Katama Airfield which is right next door allows you the treat of watching planes land and take off on private tours. FYI...  please make reservations for the diner because the wait can be long. We waited for an hour but the food was well worth it. My French toast with fruits was delish, everyone enjoyed their meals, honestly that was the quietest we were the entire trip... 



Atlantic is an excellent seafood restaurant, and cheers to them for keeping the kitchen open for us to order. My bowl of mussels in garlic sauce was excellent. Shopping here is really fabulous, from the really cool and trendy retail shops to antique jewelry stores. I loved it all, very eclectic area. I was in heaven. The bonus was that the stores stayed open later compared to the stores in Oaks Bluff. I brought a really fabulous summer hat 

there.. And I am impatiently waiting for my feather earrings to arrive. 

HIGHLIGHTS 

All my preconceived ideas of what Martha’s Vineyard is was totally blown to pieces.. I was very surprised by the cultural diversity, every ethnicity is well represented, you will feel right at home.. This is the ideal place for a  girls trip, couples getaway, and also the perfect destination for families. Mini and her crew were able to walk to the park, down to the beach, or just cruise around on their bikes or scooters without any worries. Not to mention their nightly three block walk to backdoor donut. Mini lived her best life on this trip. However,  as much fun as I was having with the girls, I was feeling like mini was having way too much fun without me and after her pep talk with me about letting her enjoy her vacation blah... blah..blah (yes she is only 8) she cancelled her beach day ( no guilt here, she went like everyday🙄) we had the most fabulous afternoon lunching and hanging , you must take the kids to #flyinghorses we had tons of fun on the carousel trying to get that bronze ring.  There is something for everyone to do here, and  if sitting on the porch and reading a book is your thing then enjoy, because every house comes with a beautiful front porch. 

Night life was epic !!! 

We started off at Island life lounge  on Circle Ave the music was amazing and at 11pm we noticed that the crowd was leaving for across the street and oh yes we followed!! Well, hello Jiggy Sunday’s Omg!! I felt like I was in 🇯🇲 Jamaica. The beat of the music that turns on all the sensors in your body. The hot sticky bodies, smell of natural mystic in the air, dancing, just the vibes!!! You could not tell me I was not home in Jamaica. It was so exhilarating, my girls and I ran out to exhale and scream for about 10 mins, we were living our best life in that moment... Naturally, we ran right back to the dance session...Oh what a night!                                                   

 Thank you Martha’s Vineyard for a well rounded fabulous experience... I am sure I forgot some details 😜 but until next time ... The vineyard is calling and you must go!

Crazy sales!!!

The Summer is ending, and the crazy sales are beginning!!! I had a reallly fab weekend with family and friends. I did a lot of crazy sale shopping also. I purchased three fab dresses at bloomingdales for under $200. Go me!!! How was your weekend? I have great finds to share, all at crazy prices.

Casual outfit under $50

Yes, more white. Wear them now because time is limited. Tick tick tick!!! You can make your look pop with bright color sandals or bag. The white top featured would also be great as a fill in piece, worn with a skirt or pants of your choice. Great with a long chain also. It is just a great buy.

Go super comfy by trying this look.

This complete look is under $70. Like the outfit in the under $50 look, this look is from zara.com and the bracelets are from wetseal.com  

Metallics

Fabs did you go metallic this past weekend? I did! Here is my look.

Fabs, I will be taking the rest of the summer off from blogging new material. I will return on Tuesday September 10th with My Huge Fall edition... Please continue to check the blog. I will be reporting fashion finds or emergencies. Have a fab rest of summer. See you all in the Fall. We will all be falling for Fall Fashion.

" loving me is easy because, I know me"

No Blues Here!!

Hey Fabs, how was your week? I hope good. On Tuesday I enjoyed some pool time with friends and yesterday I was on the move to find some new looks, plus I really needed to pull some pieces for a new client. Omg! The Summer sales are off the charts!!!! If you are over Summer shopping just take a hundred bucks and buy some fill-ins. You will thank me later!

First, I want to share with you this natural face scrub and mask. I tired it and I loved it. 

All natural 

After work affair!!

My single Fabs, you never get an off day to find love. Remember, Summer is the time to find some one to hibernate with in the Winter. So,no sitting around this Friday night.  Here is a look that will take you from work to play.

FYI: This is not the blues look.

For work, pair blue pencil skirt with blue shirt finishing with blue print shoes. Your black everyday work bag will work with this look. This is colorful and chic! Perfect for work and a nice dinner date after work. Now if, after work calls for drinks with the girls, transition your work wear into this fab number. Just by changing your shirt and bag.

Simple yet, super fun and most importantly it does not look like you got dress at work. Pop on your pink lip gloss and you are ready to go.

Weekend ready!

The weekend weather looks perfect, are your outfits ready? I was thinking metallics. Try wearing your metallics this weekend. You can pair them with whites or you can pair them with brights.

Send me pics of your metallic looks.

" I'm happy because, I'm me"

Thinking On My Feet Tuesday!

Hey Fabs, I was so stumped on what to talk about today! I have been so focused on my Fall wardrobe. Can not wait to launch the new Fall looks for you to try. It may seem early, however, you too need to start planning for the cooler days ahead. If you live in a warmer climate, keep in mind that you can transition your look for Fall by changing your colors. Just opt for darker colors. Stay tuned for ideas in the Fall blogs.

Summer in the Fall

Fabs, try wearing your button down denim shirt with denim cut offs. Make it pop with wedges or a cool clutch. This look is super cool without looking over done. Plus it allows you to look like Summer and warm enough for the cooler evenings.

Thinking On My Feet

On Friday night I went to grab pizza and ice cream with my family. Can you say fat Friday?! Anyway, I pulled out a dress I haven't worn in a year nearly to realize that it was a little too short for my family night out, so do I put something else on? NOT! Instead I paired it with my faded short shorts and coral wedges.

It was the perfect look!

Transition

Check out theses great transition wedges I just found. They would look great with ripped jeans rolled up or wear them with a long flowy skirt.

Did I mention that they are super comfy and one is a hundred dollars more than the other (email me and I will tell you where to find them).

Also, I am planning on launching a monthly plus size blog. It will be in addition to my current twice weekly blog. I'm doing my research so I hope you like it. 

Our next date is Thursday

"Highs+Lows=Life. So live it"

Calling All Fabs!!!!!

Summer prints, brights and whites, Oh My!! Last call on shopping for your Summer wardrobe. August is here, now we have to start thinking of the Fall wardrobe. Oh My!!

Prints!

Wear your prints and have fun with it. Instead of matching a print shirt with matching bottom. Why not try a totally different bright color bottom? Finishing the look with nude sandals. Sounds fab, Oh My!!!!

 

Last call on Summer brights!

If you were afraid before, the Summer is ending, buy a top in a color you would never try (make sure it compliments your skin tone) and, pair it with a white bottom or color block. Finishing the look with metallic sandals!! Why not? The Summer is almost gone. Oh my!

Whites!

I need more time with my whites, Oh My! So I must wear them with all my prints and brights. There is no wrong way to wear your whites, as long as it is in your size!!! 

 

Shopping advice!!.

Fabs, the Fall is closing in, start thinking and looking for what you need to be ready for the....dare I say it? Oh My!!! No!!!  Now, if you live in warm weather all year, please take advantage of all the Summer sales. If you are short on time, order on line.

"Look no more, I'm here"

If I could, I would!!!!!

Hey Fabs, how was your weekend? I hope great. The weather certainly was. In last Tuesday's blog "shopping guide" I talked about shopping for replacements for our fav pieces. Well, today, I must confess that I have a pair of gold sandals that "if I could, I would wear them all year long". I am looking for a replacement however, until then, lets discuss how to wear them all the time.
For dinner with my family yesterday. I forgo the heels and went with my fav flats metallic gold sandals, metallic gold skirt, tank and fav chain. I was comfy and very chic!

Now there are days when these sandals are all my feet want, so I have to work an outfit around them. Let's be honest, when your husband or boyfriend  notices you are wearing the same sandals a lot, it is time to rest or hide them!

Here is a solution Fabs!!
Try wearing them under pants or maxi dresses, you get best of both worlds. Looking  good, while very comfy, plus the bonus is you get to hide them. How often do we get that ladies? Not very! If you are on the taller side try the palazzo pants look with a tank. Super cute!
FYI... If, your favs are rubber sandals, it will certainly not work!! You will not be able to look dressed up in rubber sandals, just does not WORK!!!!

 

Steals under $20

The top right gold chain and metallic bracelets are from forever21.com and  the two necklaces on the bottom are from aliexpress.com. I just had to share those great deals.  Have a great week Fabs, our next date is Thursday.

"Comfort is key"

Up! Up! & Away!!!!

So I'm headed away for a three night get away and I'm only allowed to bring a carry on! That's going to be hard. So lets discuss what I will packing.

Day!

All I need is three to four cute swim wears and cover ups. 

My cover ups I'm packing I plan to double as day dresses. Yup I'm going for the glamour day look.

Plus I'm packing my fab hat. It  doubles as extra protection form the sun. Unfortunately I am only able to bring one hat so, (lack of space) lets improvise. I will take my fab head scarves. They will double as extra protection for my hair. 

Now that the day is done. Lets discuss 

Night!!!

My plan is to wear white two out of the three nights. Exciting!!! I'm always excited to wear white, so much I can do with all white. The other night I will wear my short suit, from reading reviews about this one restaurant on the water, everyone recommends a sweater.  This look will be perfect and chic!

My Fabs, always remember to dress for the occasion. If in doubt, do some research, it is always great to be prepared. 

There is no better time to try a new look than on vacation. Or, even a new way of doing your hair. It's vacation, why not?
