The Usual Stops

At the beach we always go outlet shopping. Whenever I go to the L.L.Bean outlet I always search for a monogram error Boat & Tote with my initials. So far I have been unsuccessful but I will never stop looking.

There was a nice selection of Bean Boats.

A trip to the Polo outlet is standard.

We were able to find some great bedding.

The Orvis outlet had some stylish Alynn accessories.

Brooks Brothers carries Royall Spyce, which is one of JCW favorite types of cologne.

Love a plaid accent.

Shopping for cigars made me realize how JCW must feel in the handbag department at Neimans.

Words cannot describe how we feel about The Cultured Pearl.

The restaurant has such a great ambiance with fantastic outdoor seating. The tables are surrounded by fish ponds and bamboo.

Crab Napoleon
Jumbo Lump Crab tossed in basil pesto with an over roasted tomato drizzle, served with wonton chips.

Cream of Crab
This is the best Cream of Crab soup we have ever had and JCW orders Cream of Crab everywhere it is on the menu.

Main course

EAS & JCW

Annie's Banannies is a frozen banana parlor. The frozen bananas tasted just like rich ice cream but with out the fat. This quickly became my new beach obsession.

Annie...griding her frozen bananas.

I tried several different topping combos during the course of the week but deemed the Banannie with graham crackers, caramel and whipped cream the best!

I love your food photos! So well done. And need to make a trip to the outlets soon. Love that we are so close to be able to take a quick trip too.

I don't care for sushi but your pictures make me want to try it again.

My daddy and grandfather both wore Royall Lyme-love it! Whenever I'm in BB I always spritz a little on my wrists. It instantly takes me back to when I was a little girl. The Bermuda Purfumery makes a very similar scent, Navy. If you ever visit Bermuda you must tour the Purfumery- it's a wonderful treat.

Hi Sweets! Gotta love tax-free shopping, right? A funny story about the Bean totes - When my grandmother started to get older she had a hard time carrying a laundry basket so we got her an xl Bean tote instead. She passed away, but I still carry her tote, because it makes me think of her. I have had several people ask me if it was a mistake purchased from the outlet. No offense people, but do you really think I would buy a random bag with someone else's inititals on it? Ha! Anyway, just made me think of my wonderful Nan when I saw your photos :) Have a great weekend!

Oh goodness, talk about eye candy! The prettiest merchandise picture of all has to be the ties, they are simply stunning.

You two look darling, that is one outstanding color on you!

Sending you a smile for the week ahead,
