With the cooler weather, the beach is no longer a daily temptation. Don’t get me wrong if it’s 68 degrees or above, it’s top priority for the day, but that’s not the case daily. That means that there is more time to explore different places on Martha’s Vineyard. Since Fall is the harvest season, I’ve decided it’s time to explo...

Every once and a while, this girl breaks away from Martha’s Vineyard. For a September trip, I decided I wanted to go to the Adirondack Balloon Festival in Glens Falls, New York. This balloon festival happens to be the oldest and largest hot air balloon festival on the East Coast. The festival spans four days, September 18th – ...

Though I’ve written a number of blogs about Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week over the years, this is the first time I’ve attended one of the events. I was really inspired by this year’s line-up for the runway on Saturday night’s event, An Extraordinary Night of Fashion. Celebrating fashion in this way is definitely social, ...

There’s a chill in the air and Fall is upon us. With that comes Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week –  a week dedicated to Island fashion. Whether local retailers showing their buys, local artists showing their creations, or local designers with an entire collection, you’re sure to be inspired. Each year I like to see who or what i...

When people visit Oak Bluffs, there are a couple of must-do’s that are often recommend: Tour the Campground, ride the Flying Horses, and of course, get a Dirty Banana at Donovan’s Reef at Nancy’s on Oak Bluffs Harbor. Ok, well maybe it’s not in the top three, but it’s kind of a must. I introduced Donovan’s Reef to my bosses, W...

September truly is one of the best months to be on Martha’s Vineyard. However, since many of us have not left in months — whether because of the beautiful weather or work — now is the time for a little fun. A time to enjoy the beauty of late summer, have a little fun. Before moving to the Vineyard, we used to visit Nantucket at lea...

All Summer I have been trying to get to Sweet Life Cafe for what could very well be one of the best kept secrets on Martha’s Vineyard. Well, it’s not really a secret but it’s awesome just the same. Get this, if you go to Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs, and sit at the outside bar (includes the high top table as well) before 6 p.m., y...

I am sure you’ve seen Vaalbara bags and clutches while on Martha’s Vineyard. You may have also seen people with them in New York City or Venice Beach or in Europe, but did you know that creator, Emily Prescott has strong Island ties? Vaalbara bags have always caught my eye. I love the colors and the ease of them, and I wanted to l...

Now that September is here and the nights are cooler, I can start thinking about comfort food and eating inside. Isola restaurant in Edgartown is a perfect choice. Don’t get me wrong, I love Italian food all year long, but braised beef raviolis and red wine sound so muchbetter now. Isola is a welcoming space, with a large bar, a ...
