My Bermuda Trip

| 31 Comments

This is going to be a photo overload post! But I hope you love the photos as much as I do; putting together this post makes me want to hop another flight out to Bermuda again. Speaking of flights, it takes under two hours to get to Bermuda from New York City. It’s a shockingly…

On My Radar

I am just simply not one of those people that can travel non-stop. Props to you if you’re capable of packing and unpacking and living out of a suitcase and hopping into planes/trains/automobiles. Rinse and repeat. A full week of traveling left me spent, and despite my best efforts to stay on top of work, I…

Ham for a Year

| 41 Comments

I thought having a dog was the hardest thing ever. And then I got a second dog and realized that there’s always room for a bigger challenge. A year ago, yesterday, Hamilton became Teddy’s little brother. In full transparency, getting a second dog was a pretty big mistake. I had my doubts and lost sleep…

Hamilton Princess Beach Club

| 30 Comments

When I was invited to stay at the Hamilton Princess in Bermuda, I was most excited about visiting the beaches. The hotel itself isn’t directly on the beach but instead has a private beach club not too far away. Traveling during the “off-season” is always a risk, pretty much wherever you go. On Saturday, the weather ended up being pretty gorgeous. It was a little bit chilly when the wind picked up, but otherwise, it was clear and sunny.

Bermuda Shopping

It’s been years (over 20!) since I had visited Bermuda last. I remember pretty random things since I was so young, but one thing that I absolutely couldn’t forget was the colorful buildings. I think I assumed that I had imagined the sorbet colored buildings as extra charming and was surprised at how accurate my memory was. It’s not that some buildings are cute and colorful– they are all cute and colorful with pops of white here and there.

Bermuda Packing List

| 12 Comments

I didn’t do a Bermuda packing list post because I honestly wasn’t quite sure what I’d be bringing. I ended up having to pack a bunch of outfits for the last-minute Charleston trip, and I figured whatever I didn’t wear there I could wear in Bermuda.

Handbags

Straw Bags

While I was packing for Charleston and then repacking for Bermuda, I was getting excited for all things summer. (Never mind the fact that it’s still quite chilly out.) Including straw bags. I forgot to pack one for Charleston and ended up borrowing one from Sarah. I had meant to buy it and then completely forgot. Have to add it to my cart now! Below are some fun and classic straw bags for every occasion, whether you’re heading out to a soiree or to the sea.
