Packing for…

…the Caribbeans!

Hello lovelies, I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far! I always look forward to the weekend but this time, I’m even more excited because I’ll be spending the next week soaking in Vitamin Ds, eating lots and lots of lobsters until my face breaks out (Benadryl will be my best bud) and sipping on pina coladas on the beautiful islands of the Caribbeans!

I packed some of my favorite vacation clothes which usually consist of long flowy dresses, cutoff shorts and lots of bathing suits (below are a few of my current faves). If you know me personally, you’ll know I’m a bit of a bathing suit addict, but I managed to narrow it down to only 7 (lol). I know, I know…perhaps I can learn how to pack smart like Jean from Extra Petite. :)

It has been a hectic year and I feel way overdue for some R&R since my last vacation in Bora Bora. So my plan is to just relax and enjoy every minute of it. It will be hard to not have access to the world for a week but I look forward to coming back with lots of pictures to share. I hope you all have a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead! xo

A Pop of Color

The combination of black and white exudes timeless elegance and always bring me back to the glamorous 1920s, where white lace dresses accessorized with black gloves and darling pearl necklaces were the norm for a Friday evening dinner…Nowadays we’ll frequent dinner in our comfy jeans, tee and sometimes flip flops. Style has definitely changed throughout the decades but one thing has always remain: the classic combination of black & white will never be a thing of the past.

Top: Express boxy pleat neck top / Shorts: Zara Crochet shorts
Shoes: Zara basic black sandals / Hat: David & Young Neo Noir fedora
Necklace: Gifted Monogram necklace / H&M fishbone necklace
Wallet: Marc by March Jacobs “Take Me Slim” wallet/ Glasses: Giorgio Armani
Bracelets: Michael Kors ‘Collections’ two-tone link chain pave bracelet (similar here),  Bar III neon bangle, Lauren by Ralph Lauren two-tone oval link
 

Snapping back to the year 2012, I’m wearing an outfit with the two color combo of that decade I admire so much…slightly dressed with a modern twist in crochet shorts and a loose blouse. There are no gloves nor pearls, but I’m accompanied by my new modern friends: hot pink wallet and lots of neon bracelets…B&W is timeless but no matter what I do or the time of year, I just can’t seem to stay away from colors… :)

What about you? Are you a black and white lover or do you crave color in your wardrobe?

A Glimpse Inside

Hello my lovelies! I hope you are having an amazing day! I started out cleaning my dresser the other night because my jewelries has gotten a little out of control. But the ‘crazy little cleaning lady’ in me started curating everything from my makeup to my favorite pair of high heels and handbags (and will be tackling the wardrobe next — stay tuned for part 2). Here’s just a little glimpse inside my closet… hopefully this will give you a break from seeing too much of me! :)
