Vineyard Vines on SALE!

A Summer Wind favorite, Country Squire Haberdashery, is giving Summer Wind readers a whale of a deal (see what I did there) on women's Vineyard Vines shorts! With the official first day of summer, tomorrow (longest day of the year!!!), now is the perfect time to stock up and enjoy them all summer long!

We're talking adorable prints, embroidered critters and the tried and true, colored chinos. Buy two or more pair and get 30% off and free USPS Priority shipping... told ya it was a whale of a deal! It's an especially good deal because Vineyard Vine shorts rarely go on sale before fall (when it's too cold to even wear them!). I love wearing Vineyard Vine shorts on the weekends with a simple tee or dressing them up (like in the above photos) for a night out! Don't need two pair... go in with a friend! 

To see options, check out CSH's website! 

As for sizing, they are true to size. I range from a 2 to a 6 in all brands and I am wearing a 4! 

To place an order:

What pair are you ordering? Have a fabulous day!

Remember when I posted about Country Squire's gorgeous Lilly colored denim? Well... I had to do another post because they are so perfect. Do yourself a favor and get a pair. They are the most comfortable pants in this entire world. 

I wore the green denim on St. Patrick's day with a cream silk top from Talbots. Danielle and I wore a very similar outfit, so of course we had to get a picture! I love that she had cheetah Sperrys with her ensemble (she has the best style!). 

Speaking of Country Squire Haberdashery? Do you follow them on Instagram? I am obsessed with their posts... 

The Nantucket red and seersucker Bonanno's are made especially for CSH! Talk about the perfect sandal. 

Have a fabulous day!

Spring Break: The Girl from Ipanema

Ohhhh how I wish I could tell you all I was going on a fabulous spring break, somewhere warm and tropical. I was thinking Ibiza or Ipanema... I could be the girl from Ipanema, you know... tall and tan and young and lovely (YouTube link in case any of you youngsters don't get the reference). In my dreams. 

In college, they give you all this time off for leisure, they forget to remind you that this just doesn't exist in the real world. But, I figured, if I was still at JMU, I would be going somewhere nice and warm in just a few days. So what would I pack?

First, I would arrive off the tiny little plane in this gorgeous linen Island Company via Country Squire Haberdashery frock (bathing suit also underneath for quickest beach action, also Island Company via CSH). They know how to do spring break down south at CSH. Proof in point... see below... 

In case I need to run into town... for some caipirinhas I'd wear this get-up. Oversized Ralph Lauren OCBD and the cuuuuuuutest LP shorts there ever were. Naturally, CSH still has them in this print (one of my absolute faves!) and many, many others. cCm has the LP Callie skirt in this print... needless to say, we're having sister matching day as soon as the temperature hits 70 degrees. 

I've deemed Bonanno's an absolute necessity. CSH has true Nantucket red Boanno's (you know, like the actually red they had at Murray's). 

A girl from Ipanema needs her options. We're talking a Lilly and Vineyard Vines party in your suitcase. 

You also need some clutches of the brightly colored sort and it doesn't hurt if they're monogrammed. Sunnies are a necessity. RayBan clearly being my drug of choice. My next RayBan splurge is coming soon, I can feel it and it will be the fabulous Meteor model. Lip balm, another necessity. Sugar is a favorite in the entire C household. cCm, my mom and I all swear by this stuff. It's great. 

Where are you going on Spring Break? Do tell, I want to live vicariously through you! What are your must-pack items? 

And boys, no worries, I won't leave you out. Stock up on Vineyard Vines colored shorts at CSH because they are on promotion: buy 2 get the third pair free. What colors shall you choose? Let me guide you on this one.. rhubarb or lobster reef to take care of the pink family, Maui blue, and Iguana. Add a grosgrain or needlepoint belt, and you are all set.  

Have a fabulous day! See you in Ipanema!

Yours,

Country Squire Haberdashery Does it Again!

Ladies and gents, Country Squire Haberdashery is a little mecca of prep heaven in Florida. See past posts here and here. You know when you walk into a store or are online shopping and there is bound to be something that you don't like or don't "have to have"? Well, this doesn't happen with CSH. 

What I love even more than their fabulous items? Their customer service is absolutely unparalleled. If you want the best shopping experience, then CSH is you answer. They sent me a bunch of goodies to share with you all. I had so much fun styling the pieces! First up is a casual frock from Vineyard Vines a la CSH: french knot sweater dress. 

First, I'll show you this pretty little navy number on a pro... then, see below on moi! 

I styled it three different ways, but to be honest, this navy dress has endless styling possibilities. Even better? This dress is on promotion for the rest of February. If you are interested, call Kyle at 954-776-5940. Here is a run down of the three looks... 

The cowboy boot look is for fall tailgating. It is the perfect tailgate dress for those later-in-the-season games when you still want to be cute but warm. Just throw a Barbour overtop and you are all set... see that pretty little clutch in my hands? CSH also carries that pretty and let me tell you, it is my new go to! It even matches the silk print on my VV tote! I also really love this for transitioning winter to spring. You know that weather that you don't want to wear a dress in the morning, but by afternoon, you are dying to be in a dress... well this is the perfect compromise!

Look number 2 is my casual, lounging, errand running, coffee sipping, brunch eating outfit. I love that this dress looks great with an oxford layered underneath. It's looking super great with Bonanno's, too! 

The last look is a work look. This is my favorite look because it is so versatile. The jacket makes it work appropriate but it could easily be taken off post-work to transition into a more "fun" look. And I would also just pull out the VV wristlet from my larger handbag and be all set for a night on the town! 

Keeping up with CSH on Facebook definitely has its' benefits. They announce promotions and sales and these are the kind you definitely don't want to miss! 

Is anyone else super excited for the Vineyard Vines Kentucky Derby garb?! cCm is counting down the days-- she is, after all, a Kentucky girl! CSH gave us a fun preview on their Facebook page! 

Here is the information as I have shared in the past... I'd like to plug this right into my GPS, or really a pilot's GPS and head straight for CSH!

Country Squire Haberdashery

Today I wanted to highlight a Summer Wind sponsor because of some fabulous OOTD's I put together a few weeks ago compliments of Country Squire Haberdashery. The fabulous boutique located in Florida at Lauderdale By the Sea has any woman or man's preppy need. From Vinyeyard Vines to Lilly, they have got you covered.

Isn't the embroidered Castaway Clothing skirt adorable? I paired it with the J. Crew Schoolboy Blazer and a Ralph Lauren white oxford for a work appropriate look. 

This was a post work outfit on one of the last warm days of the season. The Lilly sweater kept me warm while the patchwork Callahan shorts popped! 

I think the Angela Moore bracelet topped off the look well, don't you? Have you shopped CSH? Check it out if you haven't:

Sponsor: Country Squire Haberdashery

I am happy to welcome Summer Wind's newest addition the right side bar and that is Country Squire 

Haberdashery. You know it's got to be good when there's "haberdashery" right in the title!

 Perfect timing for a last minute Father's Day gift as well (that's this Sunday for all of you who haven't checked the calendar!).

The actual standing store is located in Florida, however, they have an online shop and you can browse great items on their Facebook page as well! Kyle, who I've spoken with is a great help and I can assure you that you will receive top notch service (which if you've been a long-time reader, that's extremely important to 

moi!)

I love that they have several of their own products. I think this would be a great gift for a father, and I would love it for myself as a beach hat! Country Squire offers a lot of Vineyard Vines! 

 They. Have. Watch straps. If you own a watch with changeable bands, then you know how hard it is to find straps. I have every single strap from Brooks Brothers and then Eliza B. and Peter Blair (in Richmond) are the only other two places that I have found that have cute and unique straps! Each strap at Country Squire Haberdashery is only $15 (I have my eye on the two above)! 

Gentlemen, take note. These are necessary in my eyes. My dad owns several pairs of tartan pants and gets compliments wherever he goes. They are perfect for the holidays and are the life of the party!

Lilly Pulitzer Belts. To me, these are unisex.  Any well dressed prep should have a collection of silk belts... J. Crew used to make these but sadly, I have no seen any for years. I am so happy to see these on the Country Squire site!

Not only are all of the above perfect for your Daddy... but they also carry Peter Millar, J. McLaughlin, Vineyard Vines, Smathers and Branson, Castaway Clothing and Lilly Pulitzer.

What do you think of Country Squire Haberdashery? What are you getting your father for Father's Day? I got my dad a gingham Vineyard Vines swim suit (I gave it to him early-- I couldn't wait any longer!!).

 Plus, CSHD is offering some really awesome promotions:

• 25% off on all Smathers and Branson flag items through today (Friday 6/15)
• 10% off all Southern Proper bow ties (free shipping/gift box on ties)
• Buy two ties, get one free (through Monday 6/18)
• 25% off Smathers and Branson wallets (through Saturday 6/16)
