..Juanillo Beach
October 6, 2016 • AWAY beach Couples Trip dominican republic honeymoon juanillo beach MAMA Outfit Post
The deets: SUNDRESS cover-up (also here); J.Crew hat (similar); VS bikini (similar); Eliza Gran tote; Quay sunnies.
One of the days we didn't have any excursions planned on our honeymoon we took the shuttle from our resort to another nearby beach, Juanillo Beach. I literally felt like I was stuck (in a good way) inside of a screen saver. Everything was so beautiful it was not quite sinking in that it was real. The best part of this beach, unlike the ones I am used to on the east cost, there was music playing from hidden speakers at just the right decibel to be fun for cocktailing but also fall asleep to, which I totally did in one of the dreamy cabana loungers - dare I say, best. nap. of. my. LIFE! Could that also be because I was one mojito plus one pina-colada deep? Sure. And about those drinks, they were no joke. I mean fresh as you know what, minty, coconut-y, goodness. This place was enough to make me question every life decision I had made that lead me to not living in a tropical paradise. The waters were very calm and shallow so you could really couldn't body surf or anything and there were a lot of rocks and coral in some parts of the shoreline but aside from those two little things, it was heavenly and we were so happy that we decided to venture out!
The deets: Leather Soludos: Pom Pom Sandals; Prada Sunnies; Karen Walker Sunnies; Star Mela beach bag; Sundress coverup; Scallop bikini. Everything you see is 25% off with code "INTHEFAM."
I recently made Memorial Day weekend plans to go up to Ocean City, MD. Since booking the trip all I can think about are swim suits, beachy sundresses, and sunnies so naturally when I heard Shopbop was having their annual Friends & Family sale I went right to the summer selections. I also think it's a great time to pick up your summer sunnies and beach bag as those are some bigger ticket items that don't usually go on sale but you get so much use out of. I wear these two pairs ALL THE TIME and use my gorgeous Star Mela bag for every beach trip (last seen here, here, here and here and raved about the cute brand here).
The deets: J.Crew hat; Old Navy cover-up (sold out but all swim gear is now 60% off); Quay sunnies; Star Mela bag (also sold out but LOVE this one and this one); VS swimsuit.
This post actually makes me super sad because I think it's my last beachy one of the summer (side note - there were pumpkins everywhere in Pier1 this weekend which makes me want rip my face off - cut it out, AUGUST). This was actually not my favorite cover-up as it wasn't quite as flattering in person as online but it still won me over enough to be worn due the cute poms. Obviously I was a sucker for pom poms as my tote also has them, so fun! I am so happy I purchased this hat in the beginning of spring because I got SO much use out of it! It went with almost every beach look this summer (also seen here, here, and here). Here is to fully enjoying all the summery goodness we have left.
The deets: J.Crew hat; Urban Outfitter sunnies; Rebecca Minkoff jelly sandals; Star Mela bag; ASOS cover-up; VS swimsuit.
I know my hair is looking pretty wild creature could be living in there-chic in these photos, but my motto was really to go all natural the whole trip. It just felt right to wake up, skip makeup & any hair grooming. It worked well especially when you use a hat (and have a spray tan). These were taken coming back from breakfast at Blonda down the street from our Resort. The french toast there was literally five inches high! All the places we stopped at had beautiful views so naturally I had to stop and snap a few shots of my second beach day outfit...#memories.
..Condado Beach, Puerto Rico
June 29, 2015 • AWAY beach beach trip Couples Trip la concha Outfit Post puerto rico vacation
Take me back to paradise! I just spent five days in gorgeous Puerto Rico. We stayed at La Concha per a friends suggestion and it did NOT disappoint. It was only a short cab ride to Old San Juan, it had a casino inside and pretty good restaurants in walking distance. It also had a private beach, which as you can see here, totally awful. Just kidding! It was FABULOUS. I have post vacation depression right now but here are some pictures of my first beach day outfit.
..My Beach Trip Essentials
June 24, 2015 • beach beach trip Bobbi Brown Cosmetics currently coveting Fashion Fresh Hampton Sun J.Crew Old Navy ray-ban style vacation
Each year before I hightail it to somewhere warm and beachy, I share my essentials for the trip (last year, year before). Here are the ones I have brought with me to Puerto Rico this week.
1. This cover up is so cute and soooo affordable. I don't really understand people that buy these glamorous pricey ones when they just get wet and sandy. No.
2. I searched high and low for the perfect beach bag, this one was just the right amount of colorful, tasseled, and roomy to make the cut (here are other Star Mela options).
3. I definitely wanted leather flip flops in a neutral tone. Rubber/plastic ones are great but tend to break on me in the sand. I wanted something a little tougher and chicer (aka not rainbows) and ended up on these.
7. Not really a beach necessity but I don't go anywhere tropical without this scent. It's just glorious and makes me instantly feel like I'm on vacation because it floods my mind with warm memories, even at home!
The deets: ASOS maxi and bikini (top & bottom); J.Crew hat (similar); Ralph Lauren tote; ZeroUV sunnies; Bauble Bar earrings.
Want to know the secret to a fabulous beach vacation? A spray tan for confidence, a flawy cover-up for comfort, and good company for great vibes. The near perfect weather this weekend didn't hurt either. Take me back! More details from my beachy bachelorette weekend to come.
