I’ll take Paris and the Vineyard

Published on by thenavyleopard5 Comments

We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Martha’s Vineyard with our East Coast family.  My son and niece are both only children, so it is great for them to have cousin time.  We dominated both Monopoly games, but really need to work on our Ticket to Ride skills.  The Martha’s Vineyard Airport is so charming.  My husband and our luggage returned to Los Angeles, while my son and I stopped in Boston for three nights.  Tune in tomorrow for a post on that leg of the trip.  Until next year MVY…

Martha’s Vineyard – Menemsha Sunset

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

We had the most perfect weather for our trip to Martha’s Vineyard.  There was only one day of rain and very low humidity.  I have heard it is just so sticky right now.  One afternoon we took a short walk before dinner.  We then headed to Menemsha for dinner at Home Port.  They have the freshest seafood and the sunsets from the Menemsha Harbor are amazing.

New York on the Vineyard

Published on by thenavyleopard5 Comments

Right before I left for my vacation J. Crew came out with these “destination” art t-shirts.  I had to have the New York version.  I love the navy trim on the sleeves and neck and the graphics are just so quintessentially New York.  I styled it with  cut-off denim shorts, panama hat, sunglasses and one of my favorite pairs of New Balance for J. Crew kicks.  The color is salt and gold and they go with everything.  I love the gold.  It is the perfect polish for a pair of white kicks.  We had a leisurely afternoon at Alley’s General Store.  My son could spend hours there.  They have an unbelievable selection of toys, housewares, toiletries, supplies, you name it.  It is a true general store. It is the oldest operating business on Martha’s Vineyard and was established in 1858.  Then we headed to Oak Bluffs for a casual dinner and ice cream.

Martha’s Vineyard – Oak Bluffs

Published on by thenavyleopardLeave a comment

One of our regular evening locations while on the Vineyard was Oak Bluffs.  The kids wanted to go for the ice cream (Ben and Bill’s is a favorite).  I always like visiting Vineyard Vines (where I got these shorts last year on our first rip).  I’ve linked two similar pairs below.  There are several great restaurants including Slice of Life.  The kids also love running around the green around the gazebo and riding the Flying Circus Carousel, which is the oldest operating platform carousel in the United States.  You really can’t go wrong anywhere on the Vineyard, but evenings in Oak Bluffs are always fun.  Shopping and ice cream?  I’m in.

Fiddlehead Farm

Published on by thenavyleopard3 Comments

The amazing farm stand/gourmet grocery store, Fiddlehead Farm, was a short walk from where we stayed on Martha’s Vineyard.  They had fresh produce from their farm and a perfectly curated selection of gourmet goodies including pie from the Pie Chicks.  We had the amazing Key Lime one night.  We also bought Chilmark Coffee Company coffee to brew at the house and it was to die for.  On one of my jaunts,  I wore a new Liberty print shirt from J. Crew, my J. Crew sunglasses, favorite lookout high rise jeans and leopard flats.  J. Crew did a recent “how to” post on the shirt here.  In my May Liberty Flowers post I wrote about my love of Liberty prints and included my collection of shirts.  I just had to add this one.  It is such a perfect print for multiple seasons.

Stripes and Paisley on the Vineyard

Published on by thenavyleopard2 Comments

We just got back from our family vacation on the East Coast.  It was our second year staying on Martha’s Vineyard with my sister-in-law and niece.  My sister-in-law has a beautiful house on the island that is walking distance to one of the best restaurants, State Road.  My husband and I took a stroll there one evening for a drink and appetizer and snapped these photos.  I love this new cap-sleeve dress from J. Crew and my favorite Gemma flats in this neon paisley.  I continued the pop of pink with the belt and cardigan and then added a more tonal lucite necklace (which is such a great length).  If you have not checked out J. Crew’s sunglasses that launched this fall,  there are some great styles.

We had an amazing time with great beach days and East Coast vs. West Coast Monopoly games.  My son and I then spent three days exploring Boston.  It was the first time for both of us.  He is six and even managed to be my photographer one day.  Stay tuned for a kiddo photographed Boston outfit post and several others from Martha’s Vineyard.  The island is just magical and it is so great to have a week with our East Coast family.
