Life’s a Beach: Winter Vacation Inspiration

Playa Flamenco, Puerto Rico

A last minute trip to my island, Puerto Rico, has been eating away at me. Should I stay? Should I go? Who’s gonna feed my cat? Really, $1,100.00 for a round-trip flight? All signs point to ‘yes’ but things get a little more complicated of course.

So, I decided to put a look together to help inspire me some more on my journey to the Caribbean. For an island that is almost 100% humidity 100% of the time, a maxi dress is an easy pick for it’s effortless flow and airy-ness. Studded sandals in a deep blue add a hint of edge. Gold accessories create a glam feel and tastefully add lots of gleam and sheen. Pops of bright colors are undeniable for the Caribbean with orange polish and magenta lipstick. Top off the entire look with a straw fedora and it screams “I’m on vacation!”

Wow…I think I just typed myself into a decision. Yes.

Winter Maxi Look

Still trying to figure out how to wear a maxi in the winter? It’s a lot easier than you think. Just pull out your favorite maxi (preferably with a long sleeve or if pulling a maxi skirt, grab a long sleeved top), grab a pair of tall boots and layer up with a vest. Pair your look with accessories like a waist belt and/or add another layer with a scarf. Voila! You’re done.

You Can Never Have Enough Scarves

Let’s face it. Even though we have thirty million hanging in our closets, spilling out of drawers, and tucked away in random cubbies, we’ll always have an excuse to buy one more scarf! This time it’s a different length, that time it was a different print and the next time it’s going to be a different material and texture! We’ve got to stop lying to ourselves and just give in. What’s one more scarf? Give away some old ones you haven’t worn in over a year and then you have another excuse to buy another! See! These excuses pop out of nowhere.
