Tomorrow I am heading to the Hamptons with a few of my friends for a long weekend getaway! I am SO excited to not only have a break from the city, but to spend it in a beautiful place with great friends. We are staying in a rented house (share) in East Hampton. Everyone is arriving Friday, but Ashley and I are renting a convertible car from Mazda and going a day early (also leaving a day later). We currently do not have any plans on the agenda, which I think makes for a nice weekend where you just go with the flow. The house we are staying at has a pool, I am praying for nice weather so we can lay out for a little bit. I am sure we will head to the bars at night and have brunch at some cute restaurants. I really can’t explain how excited I am for this trip!!

Of course I am going to over pack like I always do. I mean my mom was in NYC this past weekend visiting, we stayed in a hotel and I still packed more than she did…. and I live here. I would rather be safe than sorry. I also suffer from wardrobe anxiety and need to have lots of choices. Even though I am leaving tomorrow and have most of my outfits planned and a few back ups, I still want to run out and buy an outfit or two just to be safe. One of the outfits I bought that I am completely in love with is this off the shoulder dress from Club Monaco. I first saw it in their window display while I was walking by to go workout. There was a good minute when I contemplated skipping my workout to buy it right then and there. I ended up buying it the next day when I wasn’t gross and sweaty. I still have not bought a new swimsuit (see post here), but this bikini might be the one I end up with. I love the little ruffles and pretty floral print. Also on my list is a dress and a romper that I can throw on during the day. Oh, and I caved and finally bought the Cult Gaia ark bag that is EVERYWHERE. It is a pretty cool bag (I love the architecture of it), so I can’t really feel embarrassed that I jumped on the bandwagon. Unfortunately it is backordered so I will not be able to take it this weekend to the Hamptons, but will hopefully be here in time before I heard to Charleston in August!

I love weekend getaways and this is one I have been looking forward to for a very long time! If you are in the Hamptons this weekend maybe I will see you out and about– come say hi!
