My Weekend in Newport, Rhode Island

Happy Saturday, friends!

Hope everyone had a great week.

This week escaped me but I did want to share a little weekend recap from our road trip last weekend! Remember when I shared “What To Do In Newport, Rhode Island“? Well, it was pretty spot on, if I do say so myself!

Our quick trip to Newport was definitely worth it. The Ocean Cliff invited Jess, Julia, Marissa, Loren, Jess Kirby and I to stay at their beautiful Gatehouse which is a private four bedroom house on their property. If you stay at the Gatehouse, it also allows you to access the main property’s breakfast and various amenities. It was great because it felt like our own little house for the weekend!

How cute is this wallpaper?

Another fun aspect about our weekend is that our friends at Cadillac were nice enough to let us borrow a white escalade for our trip! Talk about driving around Newport in style!! Although I never thought I would want a big car, the escalade has me thinking twice! It was perfect because we could fit all six of us in the car as we drove around Newport.

On Saturday morning we brunched at Diegos, stopped by Empire Coffee and got a green juice at Raw Bob’s Juicery.

Afterwards we drove up to Loren Hope‘s studios in East Greenwich which was absolutely gorgeous. Talk about a studio with so much design inspiration! It’s a huge sprawling space with tons of natural light. Loren and I also have pretty similar taste I think when it comes to interiors. We both love vintage and refurbishing furniture. Loren has a little living room area with a couch, two vintage purple chairs and a coffee table. It’s so funny because when we first got there, we ended up rearranging the whole space so we could take a photo. Needless to say, I think Loren is keeping the new floor plan!

Oh, and my new motto is blow: Employ Magical Thinking. Found on one of Loren’s employee’s desk.
