Gallivanted around NYC...
Celebrated the 4th...
Closed out the summer...
And, wrapped up the post season with a final hurrah in Montauk before heading off for a beverage soaked second life at Furman...
So, when I was having trouble deciding between this year's Tenley offerings, (waxing and waning between the Island Bluebell and the Moroccan Purple, really liking the green best but, knowing it was too much like last years uniform, vetting outside votes for the Island Navy), I picked up my Crackberry and went straight to the big cheese herself; one Camilla "Tenley Makin" Bradley...
thanks so much camilla! had just decided on the bluebell so now i feel validated in my choice. moroccan purple was 2nd place. thank you!!! XXOO moi
"ah...great minds. now i want to see pics!" ckb
Kindness of Camilla Bradley for taking time out during "selling her tail off" at a Bronxville trunk show to throw me a Tenley lifeline...XXOO Think Babe Would Kill Me If I Got One In Every Color Richardson
"OK. since you wear last years a lot, the island navy is most similar in coloring, but different enough still if you like those colors. i LOVE the island bluebell, and the next option after that would depend if you want more fun, less sophisticated. i am into solid prints these days (shocker) so i would err with the purple moroccan, but you may prefer the island coral....or the island navy." ckb

Gorgeous Tenley! Love your choice. So excited about Jules Reid this Saturday. What time do you think you'll be there? xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, that will look fabulous on you! Can't wait to follow it's adventures this summer.
ReplyDeleteSmall world - I grew up in Bronxville. Wish CKB (or anyone!) had trunk shows back in the day......
I'm feeling a Tenley in my future!!! You look good in GREEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new shirt! Also love the picture of you at the beach with some friends/family? The slightly wind-blown hair and smile is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBTW, as I am catching up on my blog reading I am drinking Mt.Dew/OJ. Not bad, I a hoping for a major kick!
I was hoping that you would pick that baby blue....

Tell Jules I say hi and give her my best!! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a great top, I especially love the pattern you chose last year!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Tenley! Great choice, and will look FAB with your tan! :-) XOXO
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to get the bluebell Tenley, you could use it as an excuse to acquire some of Penhaligon's Bluebell!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a living doll! Love those shirts! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOMG stop being so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI had every intention of making it up the sale, buuuut the ole pocketbook is more leaning towards the yardsale kind of budget this morning...
I kept looking for the Tenley last year but never found one. Those were sooo my colors. Any-who, yesterday at Macys I saw what may be my "this summer's Tenley." It's a gorgeous pattern by Ralph Lauren. Okay, well, it's by Lauren ...the lower end Ralph Lauren...(she says lowering her voice, half ashamed, like Sonja Morgan when she pulled out a dress to give away to Luann's charity & said "lower end Calvin Klein"..haha)..I luuuuuv it. I may send you a pic...
