Are you lot ready for the trip of a lifetime?? Ugh, I withal can't believe it was existent too that I was picked to practise this! I'm hence so hence thankful too happy too appreciative for this trip. I cannot WAIT to tell you lot all close it!!


NIR Retail (aka Shop Nantucket on Instagram) invited me out to taste some fabulous shopping too exceptional nutrient on Nantucket. I, of course, jumped at the endangerment to larn because ... Nantucket duh. It's my favorite place! Any too all excuses to larn back, I will. What I was hence excited close was the itinerary they gear upward for us. There were hence many places I had yet to store too dine at.

I don't practise move guides oftentimes because I actually desire to larn to know a identify earlier I build suggestions. But 1 I am actually proud of is my Nantucket guide too how many peachy things at that spot are to practise on such a beautiful petty island. The idea of beingness able to circular out the guide amongst details on shopping too to a greater extent than restaurants got me excited. 

I'll halt rambling straightaway too pick out you lot through our iii days on Nantucket amongst the NIR team!

Sweater / Tank / Jeans / Shoes / Earrings / Tote Bag / Luggage 

Our hateful solar daytime started off amongst a casual wakeup telephone telephone of 3 am too a 3:30 am Uber hence nosotros could larn inwards for our 5am flying to Boston. This wasn't the outset fourth dimension I've stopped inwards Boston on our agency up, hence I didn't intend anything of it. We were booked on JetBlue, too that was that! FYI, every fourth dimension nosotros wing from NYC to ACK, we're on a aeroplane that has iv seats inwards each row. It has minor overhead spaces but otherwise a normal-sized plane.

We larn to Boston, too I can't access our boarding overstep (or larn whatever other information for that matter) for our connecting flight. I had to halt some pilots inwards the airdrome too inquire for help, too they directed me to the Cape Air gates. We popped over too checked in. It didn't really hit me until they were weighing our bags too and then asked for our weight. LOL, WHAT?! I was like, "ohhhhh are nosotros on a pool jumper to the island?" The client service rep laughed too told me to hold back out the window.

I did, too it was all but completely blocked past times the span (that would larn to a normal plane). Then I saw a teeny, tiny, little aircraft on the tarmac. LOL, I did non know what I was inwards for. Cape Air lined us up, walked us out, too nosotros were assigned seats based on our weight. Ashby too I ended upward correct behind the airplane pilot too co-pilot, too I was only laughing inwards daze at how minor this aeroplane was. 

I've been on a mortal aeroplane earlier to Derby, too that was small, but non compared to this!! The whole fourth dimension I could receive got reached out too touched the pilots. It's non normal beingness that unopen to the people who are flying the plane. It was wild but a lot of fun. The biggest perk (being an aeroplane freak lover) was getting to run into takeoff too landing through the eyes of a pilot. It was a lot of fun!!


We landed inwards Nantucket only about 8 am. By this fourth dimension we've already lived a lot of life haha. Ashby too I were ready to pick out on the day. We were picked upward past times someone on the NIR squad too taken to our read my Nantucket guide on where to remain on the island, you'll cry back that I receive got wanted to remain at these cottages ever since Andrew too I were outset on the isle too realized they were for rent! I'm misfortunate he wasn't able to experience it amongst me, but man child oh man child was it a great stay. 

We stayed in the Veronica cottage. It was a two-bedroom identify amongst a queen downstairs too 2 twins on the 2d floor. It had lots of closets (three I think!), 1 total bathroom, a cute petty living room, too a kitchen. We also had the most quaint patio overlooking the boat basin. Lots of cards were played out there!

The hotel offers gratis wheel rentals, beach towels, chairs, decks of cards, lots of water, gratis DVDs too volition pick out you lot freshly cooked popcorn if you lot desire to receive got a moving painting night! It was similar staying amongst family. Everyone nosotros came inwards contact amongst was over-the-top friendly too helpful. We could non receive got had a amend stay. Thankfully, nosotros were able to cheque inwards early, drib our bags too caput into town, which was close 5 steps away since nosotros were hence wonderfully located on the wharf! 


Since nosotros had plans for lunch, nosotros didn't desire to larn a huge repast but needed something to tide us over. We opted for The Juice Press. This is a relatively novel spot correct on Main Street that I had never been to before, hence I was actually looking forrad to it. Andrew had gotten a juice for me during our trip inwards May, but I hadn't been inwards at that spot myself, too I only dearest it!! I desire to larn dorsum too sit down downwards for breakfast. Ashby too I separate a delicious acai bowl (the painting doesn't practise it jurist lol).


After a quick bite, nosotros walked only about the wharf too I showed Ashby some of my favorite spots. We also did a quick halt into Nantucket Peddler, which is 1 of my favorite touristy stores on the Wharf. I store pretty much alone here, too Annie too the Tees for my Nantucket gear! They were sold out of the crop sweatshirt I wanted, but I did larn by to snag this cute beige one!


We had killed plenty fourth dimension past times too then that it was fourth dimension for our luncheon (and when our itinerary amongst NIR kicked in!). Our outset halt was the Straight Wharf Fish Store, which is correct side past times side door to Provisions! One of my favorite things close this trip was how many novel to me places I got to try. I gauge I larn really stuck inwards my ways when I larn to the island. I forget how many peachy places at that spot are withal on my list!

One of those was the fish store. It's correct on the dock close where the HyLine ferry lets out, too it's hence authentic too tasty. You must halt by! It's a petty store where I intend you lot mainly monastic tell fish/seafood to pick out home, but they receive got a minor carte du jour too I, of course, ordered the lobster roll. I've had lots of lobster rolls inwards my life, too I volition say hands downwards this was the biggest 1 I've ever had! There was (dare I say it) almost too much lobster (gasp!). I know, I know. Crazy but actually good.


The fish store is also owned too connected to Stars H2O ice cream. Andrew too I had this during our outset trip to the isle too loved sitting past times the H2O eating our H2O ice cream. I was likewise total this fourth dimension around, but Ashby loved her mint chocolate chip!!


Then the fun began, too nosotros started our tour of stores for hateful solar daytime one. Our outset scheduled halt was Lemon too Line which build these actually adorable (and really preppy!) rope too leather bracelets for men too women. Their store is 1 of the cute petty shops correct on Straight Wharf. I made an adorable stack -- that I'm withal wearing today -- of the Nantucket leather (red on 1 side, brownish on the other), a gold anchor too the classic beige knot!

If you lot similar them, you lot tin purpose the code "krista" for 20% off! They messaged me afterwards seeing me inwards store too were hence form every bit to offering this for my readers!! 

I continue telling Ashby they are our friendship bracelets!

Next, nosotros stopped into Native Shoes (also on Straight Wharf), which was a totally new-to-me store with a great mission. They are trying to build sustainable (and cute) shoes too volition gladly pick out your onetime ones to assist build playgrounds out of recycled materials. Their shoes are affordable, adorable, too are insanely comfortable. I was betwixt the bow flats and the white sneakers (that you lot tin machine launder without worry!) too eventually went amongst the sneakers. I wore them for the remainder of the weekend, too I'm pretty certain they're straightaway my go-to summertime shoes. 


After that, nosotros stopped into Perch (right behind the Gazeebo side past times side to Provisions), too I cruel IN LOVE amongst this Veronica Beard blazer. Then I saw the cost too nicely pose it dorsum lol. I could justify a lot of things, but at that minute I couldn't. But I swear that I receive got never looked cooler IN MY LIFE. Like hence cool that I was likewise cool to go friends amongst myself lol. I intend close it every day. If anyone would similar to gift the blazer, I'm a size 4. 

After that, nosotros were done for the hateful solar daytime until dinner, too nosotros stopped past times a few to a greater extent than shops on our own. One beingness this petty shack called Bon Ton. It's correct side past times side to Nautilus, too it has petty knick knacks from only about Nantucket too estate sales, too it's surprisingly non overpriced. It was similar a treasure hunt inwards there. I loved it! I picked upward a petty bloom handbasket for Ryan to purpose at the marriage ceremony too a unique item for my mom every bit well!

After that, Ashby too I decided to head dorsum to The Cottage to grab our breath, larn off our feet, too play some cards. Julia was also on the isle hence her, her photographer too friend (also named Julia) and the Dudley Stephens team stopped past times to hang out. We had a lot of fun, too it was peachy to run into them all!


We withal had some fourth dimension to kill earlier dinner, hence afterwards the girls left Ashby too I rented bikes. I showed her only about the northern business office of the island. We rode past times Brant Point too stopped to larn some beach time, too then to Jetties, Galley beach, The Nantucket Hotel, too and then eventually past times the solid where I'll go getting married!! Bikes are the best!


After the petty tour of the island, it was fourth dimension for dinner at Slip 14. This is some other identify I had never been to! It's correct side past times side to the reception desk at The Cottages, too for those who withal are having some trouble, it's on the same path/walkway every bit The Skinny Dip correct side past times side to the wharf! I ordered oysters, nosotros ate some tuna, Ashby got some crab artichoke dip, nosotros had some salads for dinner, too Ash got to show their creme brulee. The nutrient was delicious!! The seafood peculiarly was hence good. The oysters were perfect!


I couldn't assist but halt past times the Juice Bar for a petty late-night snack afterwards dinner!! Once nosotros got dorsum to our room, nosotros were exhausted. Remember, this is withal the same hateful solar daytime of our 3 am wakeup call. Longest. day. ever. And nosotros made it an lx minutes longer past times watching some Handmaids Tale lol. 


THE NEXT DAY nosotros started out at or, The Whale which is a really novel (five weeks!) eatery on Main Street for brunch. The identify was hence cute, too the possessor was fifty-fifty sweeter! They're opened upward for brunch too lunch, unopen at 2 pm too re-open for dinner. The weather condition the nighttime earlier was stormy, hence nosotros weren't able to hang out on their dorsum patio, but nosotros did larn the best spot inwards the solid inwards the forepart windows. The nutrient was great, but I was really eyeing that Lobster scroll for lunch. I volition demand to come upward back!!


After brunch, nosotros started our tour-de-Nantucket amongst our outset halt at The Skinny Dip, which is easily 1 of my favorites stores (ever). Their whole aesthetic is me to my core, too I desire 1 of everything when I walk in. I walked out amongst some other version of my favorite Nantucket sweater from Ellsworth too Ivey (they receive got a ton of cities!) -- which I straightaway ain inwards navy, Cisco inwards white too some other Nantucket inwards red! I also was this close to pulling the trigger on this Peter Beaton hat. I mightiness larn dorsum for it!


After that, nosotros walked over to The Black Dog too Southern Tide (neither of which I remembered to pick out non-IG story photos of)! Southern Tide was a massive success for us every bit nosotros both got something nosotros actually loved. She was on the hunt for a peachy span of white jeans, too these were the ones she found. They looked hence skillful on her I tried them on myself!! I ended upward amongst an adorable white sweater for summertime that sadly isn't on their website.

Next, nosotros stopped into Vis-a-Vis, which is connected inwards the same edifice every bit Southern Tide. Then nosotros went to Murrays Toggery too Seamen Shepps earlier heading over to our side past times side official stop: Cattivo. I never fifty-fifty knew this store existed too straightaway I can't halt raving close it. Everything inwards at that spot exudes cool, too I felt awesome going in. 

You know at that spot are those girls who always look fantastic on opor-garai amongst a one-of-a-kind clothes that you lot could never line off but desperately show to replicate? Or is that only me?? Well, those girls store here. It's a wonderfully decorated too curated store that you lot MUST stop into side past times side fourth dimension you're on the island. I almost got this clothes which I can't notice online, but UGH it's excellent. 

I also tried on a super cute dress, but I couldn't movement my arms inwards it, too GUESS WHAT: Beyonce has the same dress. So like, we're twins too straightaway best friends. 


Our side past times side halt was across the street to Olivela, which was basically the designer store on the island. They had Dior inwards the window too all the fancy things you lot would demand for a casual weekend on Nantucket lol. What I idea was hence peachy was every purchase they give 20% dorsum to a charity. Love shops that practise good!

That is where I also fell inwards dearest amongst this hat...


Our terminal 2 stops were Vanderbilt Gallery too Sara Campbell earlier breaking for lunch. Our schedule called for a minor intermission inwards betwixt shops, but nosotros wanted to ability through it since nosotros were withal total from brunch!

We got oysters, edamame, mac too cheese, too my entree was the best sushi I've ever had! Ugh, I desire to larn dorsum 100 times again. I promise nosotros tin squelch inwards when Andrew too I are dorsum side past times side month!!


Then, of course, nosotros walked right by the Juice Bar. I couldn't non larn in!

We packed upward our rooms earlier heading out for the hateful solar daytime too said 1 terminal goodbye to our petty abode for the past times few days. UGH, I miss it hence much lol. We rented bikes too had brunch at Brant Point Grill too looked out onto the Harbor. The eatery is business office of the White Elephant Hotel too has the prettiest sentiment of its immaculate lawn too mortal petty beachfront!
