Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of joining an unforgettable experience on one of my favorite islands—Nantucket—hosted by the incredible team at Law Luxury Travel, led by the ever-gracious Mary Helen Law along with Brooke Jensen (@thebrokebrooke). The event, part of the Tastemaker Travels series, was made even more special by the amazing group of inspiring, entrepreneurial, and creative women who attended. From content creators to fellow designers and boutique owners, each woman brought her own unique energy, style, and perspective. It was so fulfilling to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with this dynamic group against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The weekend was also a showcase of impeccable brand partners: The RealReal, Varley, Dudley Stephens, Oh My Mahjong, Sail to Sable, and Tuckernuck—each of whom brought something special to the experience.
Here’s a recap of the coastal magic we experienced:
May 6: Arrive + Style Kickoff:
We checked into the iconic Nantucket Hotel & Resort, the perfect home base for a seaside retreat (p.s. I would definitely recommend the hotel for its aesthetic, walkability and amenities. It even has a kids club and pool!).
That evening, we gathered at Cru for a welcome reception hosted by The RealReal, the luxury resale leader known for giving designer pieces a second life. It was such a treat to explore their beautifully curated collection of pre-loved luxury fashion and accessories while sipping cocktails overlooking the harbor. I have to admit I had the best time taking photos wearing vintage Pucci Scarves and Birkins! The evening set the tone for a week of effortless elegance and conscious style. I was a little nervous to meet women IRL that I only knew from Instagram, but everyone was SO nice and cool. I was already put at ease and knew it would be a great week.
May 7: Seaside Mornings + Style Launches:
We started the morning with a peaceful walk to the beach in all of our Varley gear, letting the salty breeze and sunrise set the tone for the day ahead.
Later, we celebrated the launch of the Sail to Sable x Palm Beach Lately collaboration at Slip 41. Sail to Sable is known for its classic, colorful resort wear with a modern twist, and their capsule with Palm Beach Lately (a lifestyle brand by stylish sisters Beth and Danielle) delivered bold prints, breezy silhouettes, and coastal chic perfection. I also loved getting to know Beth, one of the sisters from the Palm Beach Lately Duo - she was so kind and cool and we really connected!
When we got back to our rooms we had a surprise waiting for us - we were to meet for wine and cheese at 4 pm with none other than the queen of Nantucket herself - Elin Hilderbrand! I started reading her books last summer while I was on Nantucket and my mom is a HUGE fan….I couldn’t believe it! She ended up being SO kind and cool and real. She signed books for us and even recorded a special video for my mom!
That evening, we switched gears for a vibrant dinner and Oh My Mahjong night at Fish by Straight Wharf - the decor and flowers were INSANELY beautiful. I loved playing the game alongside new friends—the mix of strategy and style (their gorgeous mahjong sets!) made it the perfect combination of fun and fashion.
May 8: Sip, Stroll + Clambake Perfection:
After a relaxed morning (I skipped the planned Yoga class because I wanted more sleep!), we did a really fun craft with the team at For Now and the Nantucket Historic Society. We made Sailor’s Valentine’s which are essentially shell art - right up my alley! They we had a gorgeous lunch on the patio of the hotel, sponsored by Dudley Stephens.
After lunch, we wandered the cobblestone streets of Nantucket, visiting quaint shops and capturing the island’s signature charm.
The grand finale of the trip was a traditional Nantucket clambake hosted by Tuckernuck, one of my all-time favorite brands. Tuckernuck blends classic American style with a modern sensibility, offering apparel and accessories that feel equally at home in the city or by the sea. Gathered around the table with the group, the sunset over the beach, and plates full of local seafood including delicious lobster—it was the most magical, picture-perfect way to close out the trip.
May 9: Farewell, For Now:
We said our goodbyes over breakfast at the hotel, grateful for the friendships formed and memories made. It was truly a reminder of why I love being part of this creative community: to be surrounded by women who inspire me daily with their talent, drive, and warmth.
Gratitude + Inspiration
A heartfelt thank you to Mary Helen Law, Brooke Jensen, Ashley Scribi, Charlotte Kinard and the team at the Nantucket Hotel and Resort and all of the participating brands for creating a one-of-a-kind experience that I’ll never forget. Tastemaker Travels was a beautiful blend of fashion, friendship, and coastal living. I left with endless inspiration for my art, my style, and my next trip back to this very special island.
Until next time, Nantucket 💙
