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!

Outfit Planning: Derby Style

Derby season is here!  Last year, I went to the Belmont Stakes (one of the three Triple Crown races) and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the derby culture.  It’s not so much about the horse racing as it is about getting gussied up in a feminine dress and an over the top hat and making an entire day out of a two-minute race.  It’s equal parts pageantry and shenanigans.  So whether you’re going to the Derby this season or are looking for the perfect spring outfit, I’ve got a few fabulous looks for you!

Today, I thought I’d share another one of my fail proof style formulas: stripes and florals.  I’ve been wearing this combo a lot lately (last seen here and here) and as you know, when I find something I love, I stick to it!  If you’ve been wanting to get into mixed prints, this is definitely the playful pairing to get you started.  Take any thin-striped top (like this) and pair with different floral prints for a variety of summer savvy looks.
