Summer Fever

Are you feeling it? This is the time of the year that is so hard because my kids won't be out of school for another six or seven weeks. I and dreaming of the day when school is over and the summer schedules have not begun.

Morning coffee on the patio with no agenda and no humidity (it's a short window of time).


Cute 'age appropriate' outfits. You know, when you are older than 25, but younger than retirement. I think Lilly Pulitzer fits that look.



And let's not forget summer cocktails. Do you have a favorite? My current favorite is a Sunrise.

Can you believe that this weekend is already Memorial Day? I hope my friend opens her pool soon.

Nantucket Style....Seekers Bazaar

This is the second to last post on my Nantucket Style series. Hold down the applause, please. Like so many of my previous posts...I have a guest. Junell from Seekers Bazaar is here to entertain us. If you are not familiar with her blog, she is a tad sarcastic (LOVE THAT), always fresh and new (pinning possibilities), and is non stop Palm Beach Chic (works for me). 

Be sure to check out her Pinterest boards. She goes by the name Paige....probably in the witness protection program, or something?



Lilly Pulitzer Golf Cart

Hop on! We're gonna' take a tour around Nantucket Island Palm Beach Chic Style! Nantucket & Palm Beach Chic both resonate the total prepster package. Let's imagine what a little Palm Beach Chic would look like in the land of salty, cedar shakes.


First stop is Tommy Hilfiger's lovely home above on the shore ~ can't you just imagine this delightful bedroom below tucked away in an upstairs dormer room?


Garnet Hill Lilly Pulitzer Bedding


Continuing along on the Lilly Mobile we find a beautiful seaside home lined up with classic white Adirondack chairs. Lovely. Lovely.



Would love to get my hands on the 'rondacks & spray the heck out of them; thinking a commanding pink... They would totally rock against the weathered gray shakes wouldn't you say???



Our little tour would not be complete without some touches of PBC signature color green. While this little number below belonging to Laura Day is in the Hampton's I imagine it would fit nicely down a sandy lane in Nantucket.



Decidedly PBC below from the Divine Miss Schultz's Bee Cottage. I think this would be just perfect in Nantucket along with the portrait of Miss Schultz. Wallpaper heaven ~ loving this cane pattern & the green is 'gawjus."

Round the bend is this delightful cottage in Sconset, Nantucket.




This preppy Lilly room would work great in the dining room above, think???



Which is where I am heading the Lilly Mobile as touring the island has me parched & hungry. Hope they are having lobster rolls & Pink Salty Dogs!
