Turquoise Fields

A few days ago I went to the Planting Fields in Long Island, NY.  It's amazing to realize that this beautiful, tranquil park is only an hour away from Manhattan.  Planting Fields is a 400-acre arboretum and state park, but it used to be the estate of the wealthy Coe Family during the early 20th Century.  Nowadays anyone is welcome to walk along the gardens, and even take a tour of the Coe Hall Mansion.  The park was serene, and the spot for brides and grooms to take their wedding photos (we saw around 8 couples).  Picnicking was a must, so I decided on wearing a turquoise shift dress.  Shift dresses are amazing when you want to be comfortable and chic. The dress was also great for the bizarre 90ºF weather day we were having (and good for stuffing my face with food).
