Tuckernuck: A Class Act

Love, Lilly Flamingo Catalina Top, photo from tnuck.com

"Tuckernuck is an online retail destination curated for the classic, all-American lifestyle." This line is the first read on the About Us section of the classy e-commerce site Tuckernuck. It is clear with only a little browsing that this line defines the company. From anchor bracelets to printed shorts, this site offers it all for those looking for classic, elegant, and sophisticated. Tuckernuck is a toned down preppy: a little less fratty and a lot more classy. It offers a more grown-up wardrobe selection, but at the same time is fun, vibrant, and youthful. I am 17 and would buy close to everything on the site if I had the money.

Tuckernuck offers a large selection of smaller brands. This makes it a very good place to look for specific things because there is a good selection of items from brands you may never have heard of (I found out about Sail to Sable this way). I went on Tuckernuck looking for a dress for a wedding a few weeks ago and found The Baja Sea Fan Kilpatrick dress from Persifor, which is now a serious contender for purchase. The website is very easy to navigate and has multiple photographs for each item. This alone keeps me coming back as most e-commerce sites don't have this feature.

I have not purchased anything from Tuckernuck yet, and if I do, my opinion of the business might change. That being said, the only negative thing about Tuckernuck are the prices! For me and my budget, most of the items would be a splurge; however the items are high quality and timeless, which makes buying worth it if the piece will hold up.

Tuckernuck is based out of Georgetown (go to this section if you're ever in D.C) in Washington, D.C.

 Dubarry Galway Boot (Tuckernuck)

Every year my mom and I go to the Washington International Horse Show and every year we walk around the concourse to browse the different vendors. Dubarry always has an employee wearing these boots, standing in a pan of water for the entire show. I love the classic and timeless look to these boots, and although they are very expensive, I think I would wear them enough to warrant buying a pair someday.

I could go on and on about my love for these shoes, but I know most of you already feel the same way.

 Barbour Classic Beadnell in olive

There have been countless occasions where I would have loved to have had this jacket. I don't want to go through another fall/winter without it...

 Printed Tunics

Tunics are a summer essential and having a printed one makes the day a tad more colorful.  Check out Lilly Pultizer and Tuckernuck for more.

Hats

I have taken a liking to hats recently. They are great for less-then-perfect-hair days, sunny days, or just because days. Try The Black Dog, Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, and Ralph Lauren for more.

Printed Shorts

Last year,  I purchased a pair of Lilly Callahan shorts in the Get Nauti print at a midsummer Lilly sale on Martha's Vineyard. I am incredibly picky about the way my pants and shorts fit and usually leave stores frustrated and discouraged. However, when I put on these shorts, they "fit like a glove," as my mother says.  Try Vineyard Vines and J.Crew for more.

Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt

Many have deemed this "the perfect pullover." I have no way to say if that's true or not as I have never tried one on, but if it looks comfy and warm in photos, it should be in reality as well!

Autumn Desires

Fall Season Wishlist

Harding-Lane needlepoint seagull hat
I really like this company because it has commitment to giving back.  Harding-Lane gives a percentage of their yearly profits to "Massachusetts based organizations that protect land and cultural sites in the state". This integrity is something that will make this company thrive for many years.

Anchored Style long sleeve
Perfect hot chocolate drinking and mash mellow roasting shirt. The marine signal flags on the back spell out style.

Fisherman sweater

L.Lean Signature fisherman's sweater and mallard top 
Big comfy sweaters are a must for any wardrobe! The mallard print of the blouse is so fun, but not overwhelming... perfect for under a blazer and a pair of riding boots. 

Everly cap toe pump

J. Crew pumps: Everly suede, Everly cap toe with bow, Everly cap toe
I have been waiting for heels like these. They are all classic and timeless, as the J. Crew brand always is. 

J. Crew anchor sweater
Even though this is a boy's sweater, I love the anchor design. It looks comfy and easy to wear.

J. Crew owl print blouse 
This is such a clever print and looks like it has a great fit! If you cannot already tell, I have a strong bias towards J. Crew (FYI, I will model their products for store discount).

Kiel James Patrick Seafarer shirt and Scalloped Oxford
This companies products are 100% American made. I love this companies marketing technique. They are selling a brand as well as a lifestyle (plus, I also love Sarah Vickers).

Frank Clegg Handbag Tote
 All I can say is "I want this." Their products are also American made.

Corilynn skirt 
All of her skirts are so cute. I wish I could have all of them, but I like this one the most.
These clothes are made in the USA. 

Tuckernuck Barbour Beadnell jacket
I have been longing for this jacket all year and now that fall is here, I really want it...

To Have a Barbour Jacket

Orvis

Having a piece of Barbour is still a box unchecked on my wishlist for clothing. The brand transports us back to its roots of the English countryside by its designs. My favorites are their jackets. They seem like such easy pieces to wear and are also practical for both the fall and winter months. In my book, Barbour jackets have me wanting it to be November, when its the middle of August. They are the perfect fall jacket, which can easily be carried through winter. 

My favorite of the Barbour jackets is the Beadnell. It has Kate Middleton-esque  look to it, as it has a  timeless and classic look to it. This jacket has me envious that I do not own one. Someday, though, it will be in my closet waiting for fall.
