Outfit Planning: Tropical Getaway

Later this week, James and I are headed down to St. Martin for a little tropical getaway.  I did a little pre-vacay shopping this past weekend, but I have a bit more outfit planning and packing to do.  I’m thinking strappy sandals (although I’ll probably be barefoot the entire time), bright rompers and tropical print everything.  Check out the summer-ready looks I’ve conjured up and let me know which one is your fave!

Shopping Budget: April 2014

Summer Must Haves

I’ve never been more ready for summer and I think last month’s purchases would agree.  Instead of stocking up spring layers, I spent most of my shopping budget already in vacation mode.  Mirrored aviators, a floral print romper, and a few new dresses to add to the summer mix.  I went a little over budget this month, but the thought of vacay days, warm temps and sunshine had me a little trigger-happy.  Happy May!

Outfit Planning: Maxi Dresses

3 Ways to Wear Maxi Dressesdress | hat | bracelet | bag | shoes

Midi skirts might be my thing right now, but this spring, I’m also on the hunt for the perfect maxi dress (haven’t worn one in almost a year).  Dress it up or dress it down, wear it day or night — maxi dresses are a one stop shop with so many ways to wear.  So when I find one that I love (like this printed piece or this lounge-y number), I plan on living in it all spring and summer.
