A Quarantine Staycation

Dress  |   Shoes  |   Similar bag Last year I wrote this post about the perfect staycation ! Most things on the staycation itinerary can be quarantine friendly, but I wanted to write one specifically for quarantine and social distancing. You guys seemed to really like the first staycation post, so I figured it would be a good time to write another one! I have broken it up into: morning, afternoon, and evening with different things you could safely do every part of the day during your Staycation. Don't forget to bring and wear a mask !  MORNING: 1. Wake up and smell the coffee // Well, how about a mask wearing coffee run to that place you never quite get too because it is somewhat out of the way. Support a local coffee shop, grab a cup (and a doughnut!), and start your staycation on the right foot. 2. Have a slow morning // Make a special breakfast, read, needlepoint, just do something that you love. Definitely treat yourself to a long hot shower or bath to fee...

Lake Life

Here it is! My edition of #PreppyGirlSummer (remember Preppy Girl Fall !). I love this so much because I was able to shoot it in my favorite lake spot in Minnesota. AND, I found this amazing sweater from Minnetucket + Golden Girl Travel by Ellsworth and Ivey ! I grew by lakes, and I think this is why I love being by the water. I took these (safely) at my favorite lake town on Lake Minnetonka (like the sweater!). I love a good white jean for summer, and these are currently are a great deal at Nordstrom Rack! I love the raw hem and button fly. These with Jacks and my new favorite sweater felt like the perfect summer night by the lake outfit. Dog is not included, ahaha. She loves the water just as much as I do. A quick note for my Minnesota gals, or anyone,  interested in this sweater: the Minnetucket shop is closed right now because Molly, the shop owner, is out of town; it will be open again on August 9!!

Your Perfect Staycation Itinerary!

Sometimes a staycation is the better way to relax, and unwind. There is less stress, less planning, and virtually no travel! It does not sound as chic as a real vacation, but lets be real, you will probably be better rested, and feel more comfortable during a staycation than a real vacation. To me, that sounds like the chicest way to "travel!" It also gives you an excuse to do things in your city that you have always wanted to do, but do not have the time for. Today, I have put together a chic, relaxing, and fun staycation itinerary. I guarantee that a fabulous staycation is exactly what you needed! -- I am currently home in Minnesota, so the natural first stop on our staycation is to visit one of the 10,000 lakes here. A pool/ocean works if a lake is not your thing! For this, you will definitely need a great beach bag will all of the essentials, including a nice lightweight towel that is perfect for a comfortable time in the sun.
