I haven’t been able to go to the beach during the day, but now I’m going to try and find the time to go before work in the morning. I brought breakfast and packed makeup and a change of clothes so I could leave straight from the beach to Newport. Here’s to waking up to […]
Read MoreYesterday, I had gone to Crosswynds Traders in Narragansett to do the usual once-a-week visit for social media and, as usual, I spoke with Chris, the owner. Unbeknownst to me, it was Chris’s birthday. I must have been there for at least an hour in the store until I realized, and by the time I […]
Read MoreWhile I was at The Apothecary Newport, I made the impulsive decision that it was time to get a perfume.

Even though I arrived early, I did not walk around the fields–after all, I wasn’t there to go strawberry picking–but I […]
Read MoreI feel like if Newport had a “Room of Requirement,” The Armory antiques shop on Thames Street would fit the bill. Earlier this week, I wandered around to relax and clear my head . It was a fun experience to look at the variety of items there–anything from vintage postcards and books to framed beer […]
Read MoreThis past weekend was Boston Calling, the city’s first ever music festival. I went on both days of the festival and had a great time watching some of the hottest alternative bands: Matt and Kim and Fun. were on Saturday; Ra Ra Riot, Of Monsters and Men and Young the Giant on Sunday. All of […]
Read MoreThis week can’t be over soon enough–it’s been busy and slightly exhausting. I went to internship on Tuesday and it was the first time Leslie, my manager, and Holly, another intern, had seen my blonde hair. They liked it.
