Last Monday, B & I lucked out and both had the day off. We took advantage of the gorgeous, 90 degree day by day-tripping to Salem, and we fell absolutely head-over-heels in love with the little town. Obviously, Salem has a rich, quirky history, which is certainly appealing in its own right; however, beyond that, it is just so damn beautiful & unique.
Since I knew the temp was supposed to reach almost 90 degrees, I wanted to wear something easy & cool. I opted for this gorgeous vintage dress, which I purchased from Swift & Faire Co., one of my favorite vintage shops, when they were at the SoWa Market a few weeks ago.
The waterfront area was easily my favorite part of Salem. I mean, how gorgeous is this?!
B & I are primarily vegetarians, but every so often we see some seafood that we can't resist (living in Boston is tough like that). Case in point: this lobster roll from The Hungry Whale. Nom!
that bright print is AMAZING! i like it with the black flats, but i could see it working with all sorts of other shoes too!

I always swore that I was going to try to make a jaunt into Salem while living in the north east and, sadly, it looks like that's just not going to happen before I have to leave...but I love hearing about your trip there!

Oh I love your dress...and what gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are amazing, Salem looks like a wonderful place :) I love your dress, btw.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress!
ReplyDeleteGood choice to get out of the city on Marathon Monday. Salem is one of my favorite places for a day trip. I especially like going in the summer and taking the ferry there.
Ahh I love this! Thanks for sharing these awesome pictures. I want to go there so bad! And when I'm in Boston (well, actually Revere, since that's where my grandma lives), I'm always down for some Kelly's - especially their clam chowder. THE best.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty dress and a great backdrop of Salem. I love lobster rolls!!!! Lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I went to Salem a couple summers ago, such a cool little city. And I love your dress!

ReplyDeleteAw, I love Salem. And I LOVE your dress!
ReplyDeleteYummmm lobstahhhhh. I love your dress print and your pink lipstick!
ReplyDeleteMan I wish I lived up North, so I could make day trips like that! I have always been fascinated with Salem and actually get to teach that time period and talk about the Salem witch trials in my English classes.
ReplyDeleteLove your dress! That A-Line looks so cute on you and those colors are awesome!

"funky" is the perfect word to describe it!
ReplyDeleteThe lobster roll was SO GOOD, girl! Have you really not been to Salem yet? Road trip!
ReplyDeleteIt is so Pucci-esque, no? The vintage shop I bought it from said that it's Italian vintage, but not Pucci. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, everyone thinks Pucci when they see this dress. It's Italian vintage, apparently :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteCome on up for a visit ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dani. Ugh, lobster is so good, right?!
ReplyDeleteI love both those things too :) Thanks, Holly!
ReplyDeleteWhen you & bf finally make your big Boston visit, we'll go! It's only a half hour drive :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily. It really is such a cool place.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Revere yet.. will have to take a little trip!

ReplyDeleteIt really is wonderful! Thanks, Ines.
ReplyDeleteAh, that dress is too cute! Love the silhouette and the pattern. Looks like you had a splendid time!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your dress! At first glance you looked like Emma Stone with your sunglasses on! I've been meaning to go to Salem, this might of just convinced me to do it earlier!

SO delish. There's a food truck that comes around here called the Lobstah Truck and it's yummmmy. There's also a lobster roll place in NYC that I was dying to try, but it was kind of a grab & go place, and it was raining. Haha. So next time I'm there I MUST.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is pure gorg.e.ous! It looks like a fascinating place to poke around and I totally would've been gnoshing on that lobster roll.
