Spending the weekend in New Hampshire at the 100th anniversary of the camp I went to for five years as a young girl- my first time back here since I was 13. Just as gorgeous as I remembered- and luckily this time I am not being forced to wear brown and white polyester seersucker!

  1. Some beautiful dresses! I love how the piping is ever so slight a detail yet makes such a lovely statement!
