Relaxing on Catawba Island a couple weekends past. Sunshine + a warm summer breeze off the lake. In a complete beachy state of mind. Vintage aluminum boats minus their outboard specials reminding me of old family photographs…

A time when boats were boats and style + class reined supreme. Love.  Stanley and Francis, my mother’s parents looking all strapping and  très chic. Nanny in a classic black silk tunic and pants. An avid collector of antique jewelry with exquisite taste…coral branch necklaces, lockets, jade bangles, and the most unusual gold statement cocktail rings. Safe to say I come from a long line of fashionistas.

Quartz treasures hidden within the cliff walls…the tiniest of pieces collected as a young girl.

Dangling off my favorite cliff, windblown hair + sunkissed. Such a view to capture. Thinking about summer style inspiration…
