Fashion Friday: Maine Recap

July 16, 2010

I figured I could incorporate my Maine trip into my Fashion Friday post.  With all the outfits I wore, it’s fashion, right?  Feel free to inquire where I got my different outfits, if interested.  Hubs and I started the week off by visiting his sister and husband, who live outside of Cambridge, as he just finished up Harvard Seminary this past spring.  We had such a great time visiting with them.

A trip to Boston wouldn’t be complete without shopping on Charles Street in Beacon Hill.  The dress I ended up getting was at J. McLaughlin, which of course is right down the street from me at home.  Oh well, at least I can say I got it in Boston, right?  I absolutely loved the little doors in Beacon Hill!

We also followed the Freedom Trail, that passed all of the historical spots in Boston.  Not exactly a day I should have worn flip-flops…

On the USS Constitution
Resting (and washing) the feet in a water fountain, at the end of our walking trip

Enjoying drinks atop the Prudential building, called Top of the Hub
Our view from the top
Next on our itinerary was heading to the wedding location, beautiful Scarborough, Maine.
Picking up a friend on the way, in Wellesley, MA (think Cape Cod, but with more foliage)
With a friend, at the rehearsal dinner.  So much fun!

The place had a beautiful view of the harbor.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t as beautiful the next evening, for the wedding on the beach, but at least the rain stopped for the ceremony.  They were also kind enough to provide all of us with umbrellas.
The beautiful bride and groom (the bride’s mother is the one in the middle, smiling).
The bride wore her mother’s dress.
We had such a great time, even if the humidity got the best of my hair by the end of the trip!
Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!  As soon as I get back, I’ll be catching up with y’all, and remember the giveaway will start either Monday or Tuesday.
TGIF!
