What I Packed for Rhode Island

 

I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult.

As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new approach to packing more of a color story, blue and white. I really stuck to this, and did not bring anything black, but just shades of blue with white pieces and some lighter neutrals. It will be easy to mix and match pieces, and I know that everything will work together.

I tried to find pieces and links that match some of the older, sold-out pieces I packed, so without further ado, here's whats in my suitcase! 

Nap Dress | Similar Nap Dress | Wicker Bag | Fleece | Gingham Dress

Sandals (use code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off!) | Sun Hat | Striped shirt

Sweater | White Pants | Swim Top + Bottoms

Shirt Dress | Flats (use link for 10% off of $200) | Espadrilles


I also brought with me this GORGEOUS Kate Spade NY dress. I love their spring/summer collection this year! Not sure why I forgot to include this in the collage, aha. I cannot wait to share this fun little trip with you. If you are not following me on Instagram (@libbylovespearls), then lets be friends and you will see peeks at my trip first! I am also hoping to pop into the city next week... :)

Oh! I also threw in my Bits and Bows bow hat for another easy accessory and sun protection! I have a code LIBBY10 you can use for 10% off your order. I highly recommend checking out this sweet women founded small business!

As always,

#dontforgetyourpearls

    Interesting suggestions! In the summer I value clothes made of natural materials. That's why I like cashmere clothes at this time, in which my skin feels great.

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
