Trip Planning: Ocean House, Rhode Island
1

Rhode+Island+Ocean+House+Hotel

So it’s freezing in New York…Legit, freezing!! I don’t know about you guys but this weather has me planning all sorts of trips for spring and summer! Two years ago I visited Ocean House Rhode Island with my family and I instantly fell in love with the hotel and the surrounding property! I don’t think I ever shared photos from that trip so since I’m looking to plan a trip back there this spring, I thought now would be a perfect time!

I think I instantly fell in love with Ocean House because of the location and history. Situated on top of the bluffs of Watch Hill, Ocean House has been an iconic New England seaside destination since 1868. Isn’t that crazy? Both the hotel, restaurant and spa have 5 stars making Ocean House one of only 11 resorts with a triple 5-star rating according to Forbes! Take a peek below at some of my favorite photos from the trip and the hotel website right here!

Are you planning any fun weekend trips this spring? Would love to hear where you’re going! Xo. Lauren

6 Preppy Bedrooms I Can Totally Get Onboard With
4

Similar to how I feel about my personal style, I’ve noticed that over the past few years that my design style is also ever-evolving. I don’t know if it’s living on the East Coast that has dramatically swayed my opinion (or finally realizing my mom has been right about navy and white all these years) but it’s safe to say I’m inspired by east coast charm, preppy emblems, blue hues, crisp linens, and 1960’s West Palm Beach.

A few examples:

While I was browsing Pinterest the other day, I noticed myself pinning bedrooms that perfectly fall within my preferred categories (you can take a peek at my Design Eye Candy Board here). So with that, today I bring you 6 Preppy Bedrooms I can Totally Get On Board With!

Did you know Lily Pulitzer created a bedding collection for Garnet Hill? I’m really quite obsessed with the options available, particularly the Let’s Cha Cha and Hotty Pink– at least this collection won’t sell out in 24 hours!

I love the feel of this bedroom. The crisp white linens looks so inviting and I love the scalloped detailing. The palm tree print curtains provide a dose of that West Palm Beach vibe.

What I love most about this bedroom is the silhouette and pattern of the headboard mixed with the floral and white duvet. This is mix and match perfection.

Now THIS bedroom screams West Palm Beach to me. The print on the headboard mixed with the pink accents is on point.

I’ve seen this room circulate on Pinterest for a couple of years now. The stripes on the wall mixed with the vintage mirror and sconces make for an inviting bedroom.

Last but not least, this is my definition of an effortless preppy bedroom. One can never go wrong with a navy and white monogram pillow. You know what I mean?
