Bedford Resort & Spa, aka Book Club Trip

Last week I highlighted my road-trip outfit here, which I wore for an overnight my book club took to Bedford Resort and Spa and it was AMAZING:



The front entrance.



The Library


They have puzzle tables where guests are free to enjoy jigsaw puzzles in the library.





Beyond those doors is the in-door swimming pool, with original tile work from the 1920s



Entrance to the Spa

The bathroom was amazing!




Picked up this scrub and body mist from the spa shop.



The linens were so elegant and cozy.

This bathrobe is AMAZING, I felt like I was cuddling with Mr. Keller when I wore it.

Complimentary walking sticks.
My Bedford Resort Outfit. PJs-Ralph Lauren

The morning we left I took a dip in the in-door pool and was so relaxed that I just wore clothes for the ride home.

I can't begin to tell you how pampered I felt during this trip.  The hotel is amazing, the staff is friendly, and even the smells from room to room are elegant.  The spa experience was hands down the best I've ever had.  I received a wonderful massage and was able to relax in the spa lounge with cucumber water and fruit. I also took advantage of the Bedford Bathing Experience, which consists of a walnut scrub shower, steam room, hot tub, cold soak and finally a mist of cucumber spray all over your body. It was fabulous! And I did that rotation three times, which was including in the price of my massage.  I can't wait to go back.  My book club is thinking of having a yard/bake sale fundraiser so we can go again later in the summer.  I did bring some of the spa home buying the walnut scrub and cucumber spray, which I used immediately upon returning home last Sunday. 

We also ventured into town and I have some pictures, but I'll save those for another post.

    You went to Bedford Springs with your book club? My book club seems lame in comparison! Your PJ photo is classic - so very Hugh Hefner.

    We are lucky to have a member who works for Omni Hotels who got us a deal.

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
