This DKNY romper has been one of my staples this Summer. I brought it on every vacation since buying it in April and whenever I don't know what to wear I put it on.  I always wore it on it's own and with flat sandals so the last time I wore it I decided to dress it up a bit with espadrilles and a suede jacket. Probably not the best outerwear for Summer, but it looked so good! I bought these shoes in March 2011 for $86, so over 4 years and going strong! I do love a good purchase, even if it is a bit frivolous.

When we go to Rhode Island we stay at a house that's right across from Scarborough Beach so each night we go for an evening walk on the beach.

Here are some lovely photos my family members took of me on our trip. Some are cute, others, not so much, but they amused me so I figured I would share them.

Before I went on my vacation Lydia and I hit up Roundabout Resale for their Summer sale. I picked up this adorable Carolina Herrera dress, which was PERFECT for our day trip to Newport! They're very preppy up there and I think this dress fit the bill.  It was very empty the morning we went, which was fine by me, I hate crowds!

Here's a quick photo diary from our Rhode Island trip. A lot of boats, a lot of beach, a lot of sunsets! Sometimes we need a vacation where we do just nothing, right?
