JULY: BLUE & WHITE STRIPES

The Fourth of July typically means all things red, white, and blue, however I find it difficult to get away from my obsession of blue and white stripes.  My weekend is usually filled with straw bags, sweaters, shoes, and dresses in this nautical  color combination.  Here are a few beach inspired, blue and white must haves, for your Fourth of July celebrations.

SHIP SHAPE: NANTUCKET REDS 70TH!

I recently discovered that Murray's Toggery Shop is celebrating it's 70th Anniversary.  This also means that the well known "Nantucket Reds" are also celebrating seventy years.  Anyone who has ever visited Nantucket knows about this classic muted red collection.  Murray's Toggery Shop has remained in the Murray family since 1945.  Their business has grown to accommodate men's, women's, and children's clothing, as well as their own traditional sportswear collection.  The store has remained popular on and off island.  If you are visiting Nantucket this weekend I suggest visiting Murray's Toggery Shop located at 62 Main Street Nantucket, MA.
