i am getting ready for my last summer vacation. boooooooooooooooooo!

thankfully my swan song will be set in one of my favorite places ever- cape may, new jersey!

“jersey?!?!?” you say.

visit panicos, westside market, congress hall, westend garage, and tommy’s hot dogs and then hit me with an “eww, jersey!”

i digress, so in celebration of my CMNJ return, my NAP wishlist.

(comments clockwise, all images via net-a-porter)

• i do not bring heels on vacay- i think it is the silliest looking thing, but loubitin’s striped wedge is the perfect compromise for when a flat won’t do!
• jumpsuits are my weakness and this paul&joe version in buttery yellow is the piece for that one dressy night every trip demands
• the ruffles and print on this zimmerman beauty will add some va-va-voom to my petite figure.
• i can’t imagine a more perfect bag for slinging on for our many bike rides than this wendy nichol studded beauty.
• pajamas own me. really, i have too many pairs. eberjey’s set is $$$.
• pink.gucci.crystals. ’nuff said.
• who knows more about being a bombshell than norma kamali? her striped one-piece would do some time off the beach as a bodysuit tucked into tattered cutoffs
• i blame my preppy past but i can’t go on vacation without a cardigan. i am about to pawn my entire house to afford this margiela.
• remember what i said about gucci/pink/crystals? sub in miu miu.
• if i could scrap the whole list for one piece, it would be rosamosario’s candy-stripe beauty. it speaks to everything i love about being a girl. i would add the gucci and the miu miu just to knock it out of the park
• cat-eye is so old-school glamour and absolutely perfect for a town like CM that purrs of a different era. i love this version by thierry lasry.

squeeze every drop out of the rest of this summer, darlings :)
