Return of the Slides

For awhile, I had this odd thing against slides. Maybe because when I thought about slides, I thought of hippies wearing Birkenstocks. As much I love those 70s vibes, that was pushing it just a smudge too far. But since then, they are quickly growing on me. I first purchased these Joie sandals and then these Topshop sliders. Both have been on a proper routine- kicking those converse to the curb (with the pun, no less). I've converted to the slide and ride life- who'd would have thought?

I have still haven't made that jump to Birks- similar to my thing with overalls. But soon my friends, so I will venture into Birk-land. Shop below some slides that work no matter your style.

And I cannot forget my dad in this Birks situation. He was way ahead of the trend for this one. Beat me to it.

Sea Lace

Wearing: Dress from St.Barths (last worn here, similar), Topshop slides, Ray Ban shades

This past weekend, I was up in good 'ole Rhode Island for the Brown Sailing Parent Regatta. My brother, Reid and I did quite well, I must say.

I can never not stop by Ocean Drive when I'm up in Newport. One of my favorite spots in New England- the salty air and blue waters are intoxicating. I slipped on my favorite lace slip dress- no pun intended- yesterday before heading back to Connecticut. Along with my favorite slides and shades, I was channeling the 90s and Sound of Music- quite the odd pairing. Yesterday reminded me on how much I love sweet New England. Everything from the ocean, Americana vibes and the beauty of nature - nothing tops it especially during the warmer months. Cheers your Monday drink to that.
