Through the Woods

Retreating to Keene, NH for a chill Memorial Day weekend.

BBQs, the return of wearing white, beach bonfires, fireworks... Memorial Day means different things to different people. But for most New Yorkers, what it means the most is an escape from the daily grind, whether getting out of town or taking a brief staycation. In my case, it was the former, as we grabbed a car-full of friends and took off for my boyfriend's woodsy hometown of Keene, New Hampshire. 

Before I left for the trip, I was contacted by Abercrombie to see if I wanted to partner with them to highlight their summer collection, and after taking one look at their site I knew my upcoming trip would be the perfect fit. I stocked up on a few of my favorite travel essentials: airy + easy-going sundresses, wide-brimmed hats, slip-on sandals perfect for exploring, distressed denim shorts and of course a massive tote to carry it all. The above look was perfect for a day of frolicking in the woods in front of my boyfriend's childhood home, taking in the lush greenery and lounging around with friends during one of my most relaxing Memorial Days yet. Let the summer getaways commence!

How did you spend your long weekend?
