Black & White Stripe Floral Dress









Dress (Wearing size 2) | Purse | Shoes | Bracelets | Earrings | Sunglasses (similar style

Does this dress scream "Weekend," or what?! 

I bought it when I hosted my shopping party at Trina Turk a few weeks ago, and knew it would be perfect for Mexico. I love dresses with simple silhouettes because they are effortless, and can easily be dressed up or down (which is always a plus in my book)! Being able to wear something multiple ways makes it a definite go-to when traveling! If I was wearing this out in the city, I would pair it with stilettos, and a fun pink clutch to add a pop of color. I also plan to pair it with an oversized tote and sandals for a simple, causal look. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter! I know I'll be hunting down as many Cadbury Bunny Eggs I can find! xo

What To Pack For a Beach Vacation







Jumpsuit | Shoes | Purse (budget friendly version) | Sunglasses | BraceletEarrings

Happy Wednesday! 

We just got back from a quick trip to Mexico, where we enjoyed a spectacular stay at the St. Regis Punta Mita. It was such a fun getaway, and a great way to rest and recharge. The hotel was absolutely unreal - five stars all the way! 

Spring break is officially coming to an end, which means summer vacations are on the horizon. If a beach destination is on your agenda, here are some of the go-to's that are always in my suitcase when I go on a beach vacation.

Fun Earrings
When I head to the beach, I like letting my tan take center stage. Statement earrings are a great way to accessorize while still showing off your dewy glow


Over-Sized Hats 
Protecting your skin from the sun is always a must - especially your face! Large hats are a chic way to be practical, but also in style!


Cute Beach Bag 
These bags are perfect for fitting all your beach/poolside essentials 


The Perfect Maxi 
No matter where you're traveling to, at night trading in your swimsuit for a maxi is a must. Maxi dresses are great for tropical destinations


Nude Shoes
On any beach vacation, I believe less is always more, so bring a pair of shoes that universally matches every outfit


On-Trend Swimsuit 
Fun prints, ruffles and pom poms are my go-to's

Pearl Embellished Blazer




Blazer (similar style here & here) | Shirt (similar style) | Leggings | Heels | Purse - under $40! | Earrings | Jeweled Cuff | CuffSunglasses

Spring has officially started, but it never goes out of style to wear an all black ensemble. I must admit, I don't wear black all that often, but when I do, I feel effortlessly pulled together.

This pearl blazer has the perfect touch of flair, and is so fun and girly. Can you believe it's under $10?! Unfortunately it's only available in XS (I'm wearing a small), but I found a similar style here and here that are both under $25!

 I love kitschy updates to closet staples, and pearls have been so on-trend lately. Here are some of my favorite pearl embellished pieces!
