The other day, my mom and I spent a very hot afternoon in the center of Concord, MA. Concord is the cutest town–full of ivy-covered brick buildings, old farmhouses, blooming bushes, and darling antique shops. Every time I’m there, it feels like I should stay forever.

We poked into sweet little boutiques and ate the yummiest lunch at this restaurant. And oh my goodness, go go GO Go GO. It was so yummy! We split this amazing meatball grilled cheese, beautiful watermelon salad, and refreshing peach Italian soda. I’m still thinking about the grilled cheese. They’re easily one of my favorite foods. I crave them just about everyday, and it takes just about all my willpower to not eat them all the time.

I wore an Old Navy off-the-shoulder dress with a messy topknot, my new espadrilles from Nordstrom, these fun daisy sunnies from Lord & Taylor, and this matte lipstick in Carina by Stila.
On our way home from lunch and window shopping, we stopped by Bedford Farms to get ice cream because it was National Ice Cream Day? I don’t think that’s a real thing, but it made for a yummy treat and a cute Snapchat post. There’s something so summery and New England-y about a soft serve twist with “jimmies” on it.
