Cape May odds & ends

The aesthetic of Cape May is a far cry from what one would imagine the "Jersey Shore" to be... although my brother and I jokingly spotted a "guido convention" while dining at a beachfront restaurant.

The colorful Victorian houses are so dreamy - I imagine the interiors are decorated in a similar fashion, but I love to picture modern decor inside any of these. Most of these were built in the late 1800's and are historic landmarks. I'm not sure how many of those pictured are, but it seems that almost every house in Cape May is a bed and breakfast.






I fell in love with the house pictured directly above.

Below: two images of Sunset Beach taken before my camera's battery died, two images of me being a goofball at the beach. Apparently, I have a thing for smirking while tilting my head to the side.

Day 4 of my vacation... last Tuesday. The day was hot, then it rained a little, then my sister, her boyfriend and I went down to Sunset Beach. It wasn't as glorious as the previous night, but it was still pretty. It's a shame these photos didn't come out well. But hey, what can we do? I don't know how noticeable it is in these, but this is the start of my sunburn.




Earlier in the day, I stopped at the vegetarian cafe Higher Grounds (right near the house!)... and ordered a huge garden salad. I'm usually not one to order salads or enjoy them too much, but this was delicious. The vegetables were so fresh! I really wish I could have returned to order something else, but I didn't really have time since I went to the beach almost everyday and they close at 4pm. Bummer.

PS While in town on this day, we came across a consignment shop. There was a pair of beautiful Miu Miu sandals in the window - $68, size 37.5 but they fit. I just couldn't justify the price because there was a small stain...

PPS Make sure you enter my giveaway for the Lucky Brand earrings! It ends Tuesday!
