August Note from Jane - Nantucket

My deadline for this blog post has been looming over me for (literally) months. At BG we have been working through our social media plan and that, of course, includes our live your style blog. I am thrilled to have Brooke on board putting together fun product posts for you all – I hope you are enjoying them! Having Brooke keep our blog fresh (we collaborate behind the scenes on what to blog about) allows me lots more time for the delicious designing! So, our plan is for me to post on the first of each month about… well… anything! "Anything" can be a big scope (hence the above mentioned looming) and at the same time, I feel a pull to connect more with all of you - to just throw myself out there and see what happens!

That said, I am so thankful for our thriving business and to all of you that have been our fans and customers. I thought for this post I would share with you some snapshots from our month on Nantucket this summer. I have had an on-going love affair with Nantucket since my first trip as a little girl in 1973 (I know, many reading this post were not even born yet!). I am so blessed to be able to spend time there with family and friends. I hope you enjoy these photos…

Wishing you a delightful end of summer – “see you” in September!

Cheers!

Summer Fun

At long last summer is officially here and we can't wait to hit the beach. Whether you're throwing a beach party or just need a bit of beach at the office, we think you'll love the use of punchy colors this summer. Classic white tank tops and a new twist on the traditional boat shoe are enough to have us dreaming of summers spent with sand and surf.
