Weekend Wears: Tourist History

What I'm Wearing:
Striped Maxi Dress - Urban Outfitters
Bombay Satchel - Marc by Marc Jacobs
Gold Buckle Bracelet and Square Bangle - vintage finds at Unique Thrift
Rhinestone Sandals - Target (2 seasons ago)

Ever since I moved further central in New Jersey, I've been driving further south towards the shore on the weekends to spend time in some of the state's noteworthy towns. This weekend, Mike and I spent the afternoon in Red Bank, known for it's art and culture.

The town's shops and restaurants on Broad Street are unique in every way, giving shoppers a mixture of everything, from chic boutiques, pet stores, odds and ends, awesome eateries and most popular, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash (a comic book store). Yes, it's named after the Mallrats characters and owned by director Kevin Smith.

Red Bank is literally one of those towns with cobblestone sidewalks and a slue of funky shops. These kind of towns are my favorite because there's always something new to discover, and they're awesome for getting lost in. Dublin House is another favorite of mine, both for the food and because of it's gorgeous exterior.




See, New Jersey isn't so bad after all. Just gotta avoid the areas where Snooki hangs out... and you'll be alright.
