"When I was 11 years old, a scrawny girl caught between reading the Twilight series (team Jacob) and deciding which color I should swap my braces to at my next orthodontist appointment (a heinous shade of blue, always), I had something of a reckoning. The year was 2008, and The Real Housewives of New York had just debuted. From the moment I saw the five original cast members standing on my screen holding their apples, I knew. Like Gatsby to his green light, my pre-teen brain saw a new calling beckoning to me: I was meant to be someone who summered on the East Coast.
Montauk, Cape Cod, Nantucket—it didn’t really matter, so long as I was dressed in airy linens, drinking chilled Pinot Grigio out of a glass so thin it could crack just by looking at it the wrong way. The only thing that would ever interrupt my peace would be Ramona Singer’s voice (always a healthy 20 yards away), slowly chanting “turtleeeee timeeeeee.” Of course, now I’m 28, and while I’ve yet to get to the point in my life where “summer” is a verb rather than a season, this year’s trending fisherman aesthetic is giving me ample opportunity to manifest the future that’s been calling to me since middle school.
Full of linens and stripes (and even a surprise lobster or two), Abercrombie’s new arrivals are an East Coast-chic dream—and right now, they’re all on sale. From now through March 31, you can take 25% off Abercrombie’s entire site, plus an extra 15% off with the code SPRINGAF.
