Happy Wednesday friends! 

Sorry I have been MIA the last week or so. With just getting back to Houston last Friday, I've been playing a lot of catch-up this week (no fun). The amount of packages and mail, not to mention laundry and unpacking that I accumulated over the month of March has definitely been controlling my time. 

Just as I'm getting settled back in, it's time to pack and jet off to NYC for a long weekend - my suitcase is getting a lot of use! I'm really excited for our trip, to see some shows, and of course shopping! Be sure to follow along with me this weekend on Instagram!

I was holding this J.McLaughlin dress (yes, it's a dress!) hostage in my closet before my trip to Easter Island & cruise up the coast of South America. Isn't it cute?? I got it in late February and wanted to wear it immediately, but knew I had to wait until the cruise to debut it. haha. Do any of you ever do that? Sometimes I buy things with an event, destination or occasion in mind. The stripes and spring-ready floral print just screamed nautical siren to me!

The week we spent in Easter Island was unreal (expect a travel guide coming soon!). The 17 day cruise on board Princess Cruises, Star Princess, that followed was fantastic, as well. As I mentioned, I've sailed with Princess a total of 13 times, and this voyage was exactly what I've come to expect from my favorite cruise line - fine dining, great ports of call, and pure relaxation. I can't wait to share more of my trip with you soon! xo

Hi, everyone! We had a relaxing day at sea yesterday, and today we're spending the day in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. 

We spent the weekend in Lima, Peru, which was amazing. Like I said, I had been there in 2004 (for Machu Picchu), but I didn't remember a lot of it as I was 14, so it was so nice to visit again. The Indian Market was great, as expected, and I definitely did some damage shopping. I stumbled upon this great shop that had baby alpaca hair pillowcases that look identical to a Johnathan Adler rug I have, so I bought one, and then had to go back for another! I have bought a lot more on this trip than I expected to, so I'm crossing my fingers it all fits in my suitcase. 

I bought this pair of pink snakeskin jeans  last year at one of my favorite Houston boutiques, Cakewalk (they're no longer available, but I linked a similar pair above, that's also on sale!). These pants happened to  match the "Oh La La" sweater perfectly, and they're both in Pantone's color of the year, rose quartz. The blush pink hue is one of my favorites, of course, and the sweater is made of the softest material ever - it's under $35, too! 

Stay tuned later this week for my first post on Easter Island - it'll be a great travel guide for anyone that's wanted to go, or may not know they want to get yet!:)
