Summer Sparks

Have you ever wanted to dance on a rooftop while watching the sunset over the sea?

I’ll never forget tapping my toes on the Whaling Museums beautiful rooftop observation deck while I watched the sun dip into the waters of the Nantucket coastline. The Nantucket Historical Association is hosting more fabulous summer events on their gorgeous roof, so if you missed this party, there are more to come!

Rooftop Party

On July 14th, the Nantucket Preservation Society hosted the Summer Lecture and Luncheon. Attendees dined and enjoyed a talk from authors Hutton Wilkinson and Flynn Kuhnert, as they detailed their new book set titled A Walk to Elsie’s, which chronicles one of the most famous interior designers of the 20th century.

Bonnie with the authors.

It’s been so fabulous to attend the summertime community events of Nantucket and see all the fabulous women wearing B-L-T! It was like a mini fashion show at the Artist’s Association of Nantucket dinner party. Way to “B,” ladies!

If you attend as many events as I do, you need a wardrobe to keep pace! Now is the perfect time to schedule your wardrobe consultation, and make sure your clothes are working for you. Call (917) 209 – 0516 and we can schedule an appointment when it’s most convenient. Not on island? Not a problem – let’s Facetime and I’ll showcase the best of my collection while you enjoy the comforts of home.

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!

Fourth of July

What better place to celebrate our nation’s birthday than one of its historic islands! Nantucket is an absolutely magical place to have the Fourth of July.

Downtown Main Street becomes the hub for all kinds of patriotic themed events.There are pie-eating contests, games, and of course a parade! It’s a wonder to witness all the beautiful houses in bloom.

The annual fireworks display on Jetties Beach is so fabulous, and it seems like each year is better than the year before! Flags are hanging high from all the homes, and everyone is having picnics on the beach. I like to enjoy the spectacle with a nice bottle of rosé.

I’m now on island for the summer season, so be sure to schedule your stylist appointment by calling me at (917) 209 – 0516 or emailing bonnie@bonnieroseman.com. Don’t forget to wear your patriotic combination of red, white and blue for the holiday!

Nantucket Film Festival

I am so exited for this year’s annual Nantucket Film Festival! Founded by the brother-sister team Jill and Jonathan Burkhart ten years ago, NFF has blossomed into a prestigious event attended by visitors from all over the world. This year’s treasure trove of films look especially grand!

Annabelle Hooper and the Ghosts of Nantucket will have its world premiere at the festival. It looks to be a fun family feature spotlighting some of the island’s oldest legends: in this case, the “Widow in White,” a famous island ghost story.

From director Ryan White, documentary film Serena traces the unstoppable career of tennis champion Serena Williams – how does she handle all the pressure, and the fame?

There will be documentary shorts, narrative shorts, and even film shorts for kids. One of my favorite events to attend is Morning Coffee With… Each day of the festival, comedian Eddie Brill hosts a fun chat between writers and directors attending the festival, and it is always as insightful as it is lively.

When putting together a wardrobe for a creative event such as a film festival, I like to have a little fun! Since the opening night feature film is Finding Dory, I will select pieces as colorful and textured as the coral reefs, to celebrate the undersea adventure.

The early summer weather in Nantucket could be anything! It can start out chilly, and then warm up, and then get cold….You have to be prepared to have a layered look. It’s best to pack along a lightweight coat, a cashmere sweater, and a scarf to “tie” your look together.

Art & Style

Even though I’m on island to share my treasures  of clothing and accessories, I embrace everything this enchanting island has to offer. I delight in attending art shows that feature up and coming as well as established artists, learning more about sustainability and local food, listening to lectures on interior design, and watching the fantastic comedy shows.
Recently, Audrey Sterk Gallery  featured art by Kerry Irvine. Her prints are beautiful. Her designs would make amazing scarves that we could all wear.

Finding the Piece to the Puzzle

After coming to Nantucket for twenty summer seasons, I’m proud to be part of the community, and want to give something back to this island. I enjoy taking part in many charitable endeavors to make this magical spot better for everyone who calls this place home.

Walking for a good cause feels like wearing a pair of comfortable shoes. It’s satisfying, and you feel like with every step you’re getting closer to the finish line of finding a cure. It was a beautiful day in Nantucket for the Autism Speaks Walk. I’m proud to march for such a wonderful cause.
