winter vacation

After all the holiday chaos, don’t you just want at cocktail with an umbrella and your toes in the sand? I sure do. Last year, I was lucky enough to go on a Winter Get-Away. This winter I might go to Okemo to ski but will not be escaping winter weather. So, I want to live vicariously through you. Are you going on an amazing freeze-free vacation?

Winter Get-away Must-Haves:
{Sunglasses (not your most expensive pair just in case you lose them!)|Amazing book|tinted moisturizer with sunscreen|adorable hat (even is you’re not a hat person, it’s ok on vaca!)|beach bag|amazing & colorful accessories}

One of my favorite parts of going away is finding fun, unique vacation dresses. I am in love with flowy dresses that go great with a tan yet comfortable. I love that on vacation you can get away with any pattern and any style. A few faves below from 1Dress. They have an amazing variety of different styles and sizes for any occasion. I am in love with the Grecian style white dress on the left.

I am so excited to be heading to Punta Cana for my cousin’s destination wedding next week. Although we will be back before Christmas, it got my thinking, how do you keep the holilday spirit in a tropical place? Since I am a New England girl, when I think of Christmas, I think of snow, mittens, decorating pine trees, and hot apple cider. In Punta Cana, there will be beaches, tropical cocktails, and bikinis. But I figured I can bring a little Christmas to vacation with the right amount of sparkle and some festive colors. I am LOVING this purple sequined dress from glitzyangel.co.uk & the adorable candy cane-like bikini from misselfridge.com. Adding some gold, red, green, and winter white will be perfect for my holiday travel!
