  • We’ve got WEEKEND STYLES with @ackreds and the men of Murray’s! 💃💥🕺Fresh to Murray’s Toggery Shop for 2019 is @rowingblazers 🙌 an authentic apparel company that’s puts a tasteful twist on a few of our classic clothing favorites ❤️ We caught up with founder Jack Carlson to give you the top three things to note about this collaborative retailer on ACK 🕺💥 1️⃣. Rowing Blazers was born out of Jack’s career in the sport of rowing 🚣‍♀️🚣‍♀️which began at the age of 11 on the Charles River... followed him to Georgetown... then Oxford ... and finally on the national team where he competed for the U.S. at three world championships 🏆🚣‍♀️🙌 The brand began by making blazers for rowing teams around the world 🌎 using all-but-extinct construction techniques and details 🙌 P.S. Even though the brand has gone global, they still stick to their roots and make blazers for rowing, rugby, and polo teams at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge. ✨✨ 2️⃣. Rowing Blazers can be found exclusively at @ackreds and as Jack told us.... “Authenticity is an overused word in the apparel industry but real authenticity is extremely important to me. That’s what I like about Murray’s. They have such a rich history which has had such a strong impact not only on the island but on American style at large.” ☺️ and finally...3️⃣. You can find Jack’s blazers, rugby shirts, oxford shirts, ties and dad hats at Murray’s this season and online at nantucketreds.com ✨✨ and stay tuned as they also have an exciting Nantucket collaboration coming up that Jack can’t wait to unveil 🙌 Miss blACKbook note: I’ve always been a fan of a quality mens shirt on a woman and @rowingblazers rugby shirts look just as good on the girls as they do on the gents 🙌 Find them in store and online! And swipe right for more of our favorite looks! 📸: @init4thelongrunblog

  • ❤️Dear Nantucket ❤️ You know why I love you? There are so many reasons ... but one that came to me today is because you envelope each and every one of us... and you treat us all the same. ❤️You let us all enjoy your walking trails and your sandy shores... and you make us feel like kids again when we’re splashing in your waves and enjoying an extra large ice cream cone on your cobblestone streets ❤️ Nantucket, you continually gift us the most awesome sunrises in Sconset & spectACKular sunsets in Madaket... and then you really outdo yourself and blanket us with the most unbelievable starry nights that even Van Gogh could not have dreamt up... ❤️Nantucket, SO many people love you... you are so popular! And often, you get really crowded... but you never complain! You let us all on your island, and even when the traffic builds up... you always keep your cool and keep things moving... no matter how many beeps come your way. ❤️ Nantucket, thank you for always being so welcoming. Thank you for having us here, 30 miles out to sea in this little piece of heaven on ACK❤️ because you know what? It’s really nice to feel good about being here... and to remember that you, Nantucket, belong to no one and welcome everyone ❤️ thank you most for that. ❤️I love you, Nantucket ❤️ wholeheartedly, Holly ❤️
