Bonnie’s Buzzing About Being Back on Island
I’m on island, settling in to my little summer cottage in beautiful Nantucket! Here are the best events you don’t want to miss this June.
The Nantucket Film Festival takes place between June 19th and 24th! It always offers a fun mix of films, and is a perfect event for all ages. I’ll be there for sure! If you can’t get enough of festivals, the Nantucket Book Festival is taking place from June 13th through the 16th, featuring guest speakers, storytime readings and more.
On the Fourth of July, there’s an unbelievable parade with so much activity down the magic cobblestone Main Street. The fireworks show with the backdrop of the beautiful ocean just can’t be beat!
Don’t forget, Nantucket has a Yoga Festival, a Garden Festival, A Comedy Festival, an Art and Artisan Festival….It’s incredible! They even have the American Ballet Theatre coming up to do a Dance Festival.
No matter what your destination is this summer, whether you’re traveling North, South, East or West, I can assist you with your wardrobe needs. Remember, it’s all about style!
1. Build Your Wardrobe with classic pieces.
2. Liven Your Wardrobe with fun novelty items.
3. Tweak Your Wardrobe with touches of color.
Feel good, and look even better!

Bonnie’s Spin on The Berkshires
The Berkshire Mountains, in the Western part of Massachusetts, is a wonderful place in the summertime, and incredible for the fall foliage.
You can ride your bikes, go on hiking trails, river rafting and more, but the big attraction is really the farm to table foods at all the incredible restaurants. Enjoy the best of both worlds by taking a bike ride followed by a bite to eat downtown!
Head to Tanglewood if you want to see the Boston Pops Orchestra! You can also check out Herman Melville’s Arrowhead Museum in Pittsfield, the Norman Rockwell Museum, The Crane Museum of Paper Making, and many other cultural as well as historical sites to suit your interests.
Jacob’s Pillow is an incredible company of dance programs, and the Williamstown Theatre Festival can’t be beat! In addition to dance and theater, Williams College has an amazing museum of art.
For a fun outdoor family activity, catch Flicks Under the Stars in Williamstown on Sundays all through July and August. Also, the Clark Center Walking Tour is happening weekly through September on their campus, and you can register here.
There are some wonderful Farmer’s Markets. The North Adams is one of the best, providing fresh locally produced food to the whole community. The 44th Adams Agricultural Fair is one of the best area events open to the public.
Don’t miss the Milham Planetarium! A fun outing for the entire family, this educational experience is free on Tuesday and Thursday evenings through August.
So whether you’re in the Berkshire Mountains, or you’re down in Palm Beach County, remember, it’s all about style.
Always remember my Three Golden Rules to Dress By:
1. Build Your Wardrobe with classic pieces.
2. Liven Your Wardrobe with fun novelty items.
3. Tweak Your Wardrobe with touches of color.
Feel good, and look even better!
