A Day In Rockport

By -

Happy Thursday!

 I am so excited about today's blog post! I'm writing about the beautiful town of Rockport and some must see things if you're ever in that area! 

 From the moment you arrive in this northern Massachusetts town, the small coastal town vibes begin to win you over. You can feel the breeze rolling in from the ocean. You can smell the salt in the air. You can see the happiness of all the people that fill the adorable little streets and shops. To say Rockport is beautiful would be a major understatement!

The harbor and big red shack featured in "The Proposal"

In my opinion, the best part of this town is Bearskin Neck where you will find streets lined with colorful little boutiques, inns, restaurants, and some of the best ice cream parlors around! In the movie "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, this is the part of Rockport that is used to portray Sitka, Alaska. It's fun to recognize all of the scenes from the movie!
This place has THE BEST Elephant Ears ever! So good!
Red & White Striped Awnings, Wood-Shingle Siding? How cute?!
Every town needs a cute little Lobster shack!
This cozy little inn is perfectly named... "My Place By The Sea"

Planter boxes, a captain's wheel, and an American Flag?! It doesn't get any cuter!

Once you make your way past all the shop-lined streets, you'll come to a peninsula that has amazing views of the ocean in almost any direction you look! It's the perfect spot to fly kites, eat a picnic lunch on a rocky beach, take pictures, or just enjoy the scenery.



So if you ever want to escape the city and see a beautiful coastal town, Rockport is the place for you! It's the best kind of therapy!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
