Hi friends! Happy Thursday. Hope you all have some fun plans lined up for the weekend! I’m headed back to Montauk this weekend and couldn’t be more excited. Lobster rolls, Navy Beach, Surf Lodge and so much more that we have lined up for this weekend. I always love sharing what to do in Montauk and some of our favorite spots so hoping to discover some new gems this weekend. In case you missed it, check out my Montauk in 48 hours post from last summer here.

Because June is typically cooler compared to July and August out East, it’s important to pack LAYERS. From white jeans to light sweaters and jean jackets, I always make sure I have enough items to keep me warm on the cool, summer nights. Shop some of my favorite items below including some new J.Crew arrivals! How CUTE is this light yellow jacket? And THIS gingham tank? Yes, please. Have a great rest of your week!! Xo. Lauren

With Father’s Day right around the corner, I wanted a share a few of my favorite items that are perfect to give your dad this year! Nordstrom has several great gift ideas for Father’s Day. I personally love shopping there because their return policy is so flexible. Mark & Graham and J.Crew also have great gift guides to browse this year. Shop a few of my favorite gift ideas below!

A perfect button up for work.

This coffee table book is so cute: “How to split wood, shuck an oyster, and master other simple pleasures.”

A monogramed ice cooler.

I love these S’well water bottles – plus they’re great to keep in the car!

Bose ear buds for the commuter Dad.

You can never go wrong with a monogrammed travel pouch.

Sales & Shopping

  • I’m obsessed with my new Barbour jacket (pictured above). It was a life saver on Nantucket last week and especially on cooler nights in the city. You can shop it right here! Booties are from Tommy Hilfiger.
  • If these sandals don’t scream Montauk, I don’t know what will.
  • Just re-bought these converses for summer. Such a good buy.

Veuve-Clicquot-Polo-Classic-20164

On Saturday I attended the summer social event of the season, the Veuve Cicquot Polo Classic! This was my second year attending the Polo Classic in their Rose Garden. I now understand how each year is going to just keep getting better and better! In case you missed it, you can take a peep at my recap from 2015 here. The brand seriously upped their Rose Garden game this year. Everyone was given a pink wrist band which allowed us to receive one bottle of Veuve Clicquot Sparkling Rose in addition to a boxed lunch (a new addition this year!). The boxed lunch came in a cute little pink box and the food was delicious. There was also much more seating available for everyone. Picnic tables everywhere covered in pink and white table clothes and umbrellas to “shield” us from the sun. I use quotation marks because we did not use the umbrellas in the slightest – hello, major sun burn!

Anywho, I wore the cutest blue dress from J.Mclaughlin. After attending last year, I knew it was going to be hot so I wanted a dress that was light weight, sleeveless and preppy, of course. I knew I would put my hair up at the end of the day so I didn’t fuss with a sun hat or flower crown this year although they looked so cute on all of my girlfriends. I paired the blue dress with my Sam Edelman block heel sandals – a serious go-to pair of shoes for a long day. The walk from the ferry to the polo field is about a 15-20 minute walk so comfortable shoes is a must for this event.  I also brought my picnic satchel. I got SO many compliments on this bag – I can’t wait to wear it all summer long.

If you haven’t been yet, please do yourself a favor and get yourself tickets next year!! What’s more fun than an all day affair where you can dress up, wear a big sun hat and drink rose all day with your girlfriends? Pretty much nothing.. Am I right?!
