A Trip Down Memory Lane

Shane Co. Double Strand Pearl Necklace and Bracelet c/o / Pink Skirt / Vineyard Vines Ruffled Striped Shirt c/o (Old, but similar here, here and here.) / Kate Spade Pumps / Similar Sunglasses / Bamboo Bag

Aaaaand we’re back! The Larkin Family rolled into Ocean City last night around 7 p.m., and I can’t even tell you how amazing it felt. Emma was such the little trooper; I swear Mitch and I complained about the 13-hour drive (split up over two days) more than she did. So happy to be here, though!

Spring Style in Seattle

To be honest, we’ve been traveling so much lately that I don’t even know what day it is or where I am right now. Am I on the East Coast? In the Midwest? On the West Coast? What month is it?! Someone get this girl in one time zone for more than a couple of days, haha!

Abacos Islands, Bahamas

Cutest Striped Maxi on Sale

Vineyard Vines Striped Maxi c/o (On sale!)

Did you catch Monday’s recap post on the Vineyard Vines trip to the Abacos? If not, be sure to read it, as there’s an awesome opportunity to win a similar adventure!

But this is what I wore on our last day in the Bahamas. The maxi dress was my favorite VV look from the trip, and I knew it would be perfect for exploring Baker’s Bay, lunch at Nipper’s, and dinner at Grabbers. It took me from day to night without a problem!

Pearls & Stripes: 4 Ways

Shane Co. Mother of Pearl Pendant and Bracelet c/o / J.McLaughlin Sandals c/o / Ruffled Striped Top (Also available here. And love this similar one!) / Skinny Jeans (Also love this pair!) / Poppy and Sage Bag c/o

Not sure if you remember #30daysofplaid 😂, but I loved the challenge, and I’m really excited about doing something similar. Okay: I won’t be wearing pearls and stripes for a month, but you’ll see ’em in a lot of my upcoming outfit posts. Even though it might not feel like it, spring is officially here, and my closet is officially ready!

Abacos Islands, Bahamas

Vineyard Vines Bahamas Trip

Jeans / Carly’s Top / Mackenzie’s Top / My Seersucker Top / My Denim Jacket

A couple of weeks ago, I headed down to the Bahamas with my friends Carly, Mackenzie and Sean (our amazing photographer) to tour the Abacos Islands with Vineyard Vines and The Moorings via a chartered yacht. (Pinch me! Win a similar trip here. Entering is so easy!) It was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m so excited to share it with you today! (Note: Most of the pics you see in this post are iPhone snaps; I’ll post Sean’s beautiful DSLR photos soon!)

Of course, we did and saw so much on the trip that there’s absolutely no way I could ever fit everything into a single post. So consider this the overview, and prepare yourself for a lot of Abacos posts in the coming days and weeks. :)

Cleaning Out & Giving Back

^ How did I get stuck holding the purse?

Kelly’s Bow-Backed Shirt, Mules, Satchel (Other colors here!) and Trench Coat
Emma’s Dress
Mitch’s Penny Loafers, Oxford and Khakis all c/o

By Mitch Larkin

Mitch here!

I’ve been trying hard to up my wardrobe game since taking on a more active role with this blog, but I’m not very good at wearing clothes. Even worse, I didn’t even know that one could “be good” at clothes until recently. I’d grab my outfit from The Clothes Pile on the floor in the morning and throw it right back on top at night.

What’s New with Emma

Emma’s Navy Burberry Jacket (Black here.) / Hunter Boots / Crewcuts Jeans & Turtleneck
My Striped Top (Newer version here!) / Hunter Boots (Glossy version here.) / Patagonia Vest / AG Jeans (Love this pair, too!) / Kate Spade Initial Necklace / Similar Sunglasses
Mitch’s Blazer (Similar) / Similar Sperrys / Gingham Shirt / Similar Blazer

It probably comes as no surprise that one of my favorite activities is snapping photos of Emma.

It’s SO MUCH FUN. Maybe it’s because she’s kind of grown up with a camera in her face. ;) But the little girl is such a ham, and she melts my heart and cracks me up.

Some ultimate Emma cuteness as of late:

The Best Dress Pants–Under $35!

Drapey Pull-On Pants (Under $35 today, and the best dress pants EVER! They run totally TTS.) / Scalloped Tee (I’ve been wearing this with everything.) / Super Warm Trench Coat with Quilted Liner (Love the double version, which comes in PINK, too! It has a quilted liner as well.) / MZ Wallace Tote (Black here.) / $85 Kate Spade Pumps! (Here’s the bow version.) / Mitch’s Sperrys, Vineyard Vines Blazer & Performance Shirt c/o

We’re running around Seattle today (more on that soon!), but I thought I’d pop in quickly to share the first pair of dress pants I’ve ever loved. And, okay, the first pair I owned in probably a decade. ;) Bonus? They’re under $35!
