Boating at Ballyfin


On our second day at Ballyfin, Sarah Flint and I took a rowboat out for a leisurely afternoon and picnic lunch. The staff packed a gorgeous hamper with afternoon tea essentials like finger sandwiches, scones, cookies, and Irish Breakfast tea. Afternoon tea is always a treat but enjoying it on a little rowboat was 10 times as fun! We were completely spoiled by the weather during our stay, and this was an incredible way to spend an afternoon.

I wore this striped knit dress (currently 50% off!) twice on my trip to England and Ireland (also seen here in the Cotswolds) and it's the perfect thing to wear when you want to be super comfortable yet feel pulled together. Its a special piece that just makes you feel fabulous - and look dressed up even if you're picnicking on a rowboat!

Right now Saks Fifth Avenue is offering up to $250 off your order with code "OCTGETSF", and a lot of timeless preppy pieces I own and love are included in the promotion. I've rounded up the best items included below (most of which are from Ralph Lauren and rarely on sale!) The promotion runs through midnight tonight (October 10)!

  • I bought this blazer a few years ago and love pulling it out every fall. While the patchwork is a bit funky it still reads like a neutral to me. I've never seen it on sale before so if it caught your eye now is a great time to snap it up!
  • Two other chic sweater dresses include this cable knit turtleneck (I have it in a chocolate brown seen here) and this flared fair isle sweater dress which would look fab with sneakers or knee high boots.
  • If you liked my dress here but don't need something so fancy, this top version in the same gorgeous autumnal floral is the answer!
  • This chunky turtleneck sweater comes in ivory, black and tan.
  • One pair of jeans seems to become my go-to pair each season and this pair is it for fall. A timeless, relaxed cut and medium wash make them work with everything from oversized sweaters to blazers and a sleek turtleneck. (If you click here and scroll down you can see all the ways I've already worn them!)
  • I love a plaid wool mini this time of year and the plaid in this one is beautiful and will coordinate with a variety of different colored sweaters.
  • This denim button up is a wardrobe staple and the perfect wash to wear under all your favorite sweaters and blazers this season. I have it in my normal size, and it's slim fitting to lay beautifully under other layers.
  • Fair isle instantly creates a cozy aura to any outfit and I love this red, gray and black fair isle sweater for autumnal adventures. Pop on over the denim shirt above with black denim and riding boots for a chic look for autumn adventures in the city or the countryside.
  • This black sequin midi skirt will be on heavy rotation this holiday season. Pair with a simple black sweater (or the fair isle above) and heels!
