Dresses

We had lots of fun last night in stone harbor. My mom was interested in looking for a dress for my brothers wedding in Italy.  We figured we may find the one!

She didn't have much luck but I did. I picked up 3 fantastic dresses. One for the rehearsal, one for wedding and the other for a day in Capri. The rehearsal dress and Capri dress  are from Skirt. I saved 70% because I bought 3 summer items. The wedding dress is Nicole

Miller from the attic. 

Lets hope for warm weather in mid October!

Beach bars

Beach bars have always been one of my favorite places to hang at the Jersey shore. In my twenties, I would frequent the Shell on LBI to hear Dog Voices while enjoying some drinks outside. Recently we realized beach bars are fairly family friendly for happy hours. This summer the Golden Inn in Avalon has been at the top of my list. On Sunday evening we went to the beach bar at the deauville in Strathmere. Why did it take so long for me to discover this gem!? Bubba Mac was playing, the beach chairs were comfy and the food was whatever.... 

Vine anyone?

We love the youthful spirit of our summer team. Prior to this summer, I can honestly say I didn't know what vine was. As of today, we have our first Relax vine. Who knew folding towels could be so cool. Thanks Tor!

Beach or bay

We normally pick beach over bay but after a long day we opted to go to a spot where we could park close to the sand.

We decided to drive to the somers point beach. We parked very very close to the beach and walked up to the water. 

 We had lots of fun just playing in the sand.

Vacationer tip: the somers point beach is a less traveled option should your little one not like waves. It has free parking, lifeguard and public rest rooms. It's also across from the anchorage and near smittys for post or pre dining. 

Sidewalk Sales in Stone Harbor and more...

Sandwich from Yvette's

One of our team members was in Stone Harbor on Saturday to make beds at a rental home.  She reported lots of activity downtown for the annual sidewalk sale.  While I didn't get a chance to think much about it a the time, I had a chance to check it out today...

I'm impressed that most stores had sales!  We stopped by a few favorites for some clothes for a fall trip to Italy.  Skirt, People People,  Free Shop were all at the top of my list.  We had the most success at People People scoring a few Ella Moss and Splendid t-shirts.  Skirt had lots of great Trina turk and Shoshanna but the kiddo wasnt in the mood for shopping.

After we hit the favs, we stopped by Yvette's for lunch. I've heard great things about Yvette's so it was about time. I had a delicious Brie sandwich with strawberries and pears. It was a little $ but after saving all that money shopping it was totally fine.

The end of Summer means that its almost the start of fall wedding season.  We love to help families hosting weddings and parties at the shore with their bed linens.  

We were excited to speak with a family yesterday renting a former bed & breakfast in Beach Haven.  They will be hosting a large family party in early October  where they just want to hang out and enjoy time with their loved ones instead of making beds and laundering lots of sheets and towels.  

If you are booking a vacation home for a large event at the Jersey Shore,  give us a call for bed linens, towels, etc.   WE'd love to help!

How many donuts this week?

I just realized I has 3 donuts this week! I'm not sure if it has something to do with getting my fix of summer favorite places or that I just like donuts, but I did have 3. Based on this I could either jump on a treadmill or use my taste buds to make a recommendation.

Exciting donut flavors
at Fractured Prune

Hot Oves donut

We had" Last Day of Work" donuts for Ashley from Fractured Prune. They have fun  flavors. I also had an Oves cinnamon sugar donut last weekend. Yesterday my dad brought back some creme donuts and fritters from Dots. 

 My favorite of the week : Dots!

I hope to transition to salad reviews next week::)
