The other weekend I headed to Newport for my best friend’s bachelorette party. Before the bride arrived, I got to catch up with my friend Jess of Prosecco & Plaid. Being a native of the adorable Rhode Island town, she gave me a tour of the best spots. My favorite? Castle Hill. The gorgeous inn sits on top of a hill overlooking the Harbor. They have chairs on the lawn to sit and sip drinks (I went back with the bridal party to watch the sunset and even saw a surprise engagement!).

Jess and I both did a nautical theme. It’s hard not to with the scenery! I’m always a fan of white jeans for the summer. I paired mine with a new top that is great for hiding problem areas with asymmetrical piping in front and a longer hemline in back. And I just got these comfy wedges which were in heavy rotation during my travels. Jess even brought along jewelry from a local designer, Loren Hope, so we could stack on some sparkle as we sipped martinis. Head over to Jess’ blog for deets on her look!
