My girls and I are off to Miami to celebrate my Bachlorette party this weekend! I've been mentally packing since we booked this mini getaway back in January. Since I don't really know much of the details of the weekend...it's been kept a secret...the trickiest part was what to pack. Of course, bathing suits were in order, "a clubbing dress" (when in Miami!), and a fancier dress for a potential "fancy pants" dinner were the essentials. Trying not to over pack was the hardest...but still exactly what I did...Of course I threw in some extra tees and cut off shorts. Along with some other going out options.

As I will be away for the weekend there will be a little break from the blog. See you all when I get back!

What would you pack for a bachlorette party in Miami?

Today I leave for Chicago for a short weekend trip to visit my best friend/maid-of-honor. The trip came about since I haven't been to Chicago since she first moved out there and it was the dead of winter. Plus it was perfect timing, my fiance is away on business (lucky man is in Hawaii!). It'll also be nice to spend some real quality time with my bff since she's had a rough couple of months. It's going to be a good "girls weekend." Anyway, I thought this would be a fun/different post to do, since I am the queen of over-packing. I never know what to pack, especially this time around. My best friend has the whole weekend planned and I have no idea what we are doing. Its a weekend of surprises. She did tell me to pack sweaters and comfy shoes since we'll be outside most of the time. Even though I been keeping an eye on the weather, I still not sure I packed enough options. Can you ever be over prepared?

Are you an over packer?

Dreaming of Resort Wear with SwimSpot


O how I dream of warmer places, especially as the weather here in NYC drops. I'm jealous of everyone about to take their vacations in warm climate destinations,  I mean we are on the brink of Resort season. So here we are at the start of winter and what do I get in the mail-- a swim suit courtesy of SwimSpot. Such a tease. Especially with the fact that I won't be going away anytime soon, saving up for a honeymoon...wedding and all. But gosh do I love this Splendid swim suit. The bikini top has my all time favorite neckline, the sweetheart neckline, and the cutesy flower print make the swimsuit super adorable. Instead I will pretend as if I'm going away and sit in my hot apartment pretending I'm down in the Caribbeans drinking pina coladas...show you what I would wear with my Splendid Farmer's Market Bikini.

Dress: Roxy, Swimsuit: Splendid c/o SwimSpot, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs, 
Hat: c/o Ann Taylor, Sunglasses: Karen Walker

Beach Wear:
Beach wear...pool wear...wherever you go to lounge on your vacation it should be the simplest and easiest look of all. This is the one time where wearing less (literally) is best. And the easiest clothing you can take on and off is appropriate A simple tunic or sundress is always my go to beach wear.

Shirt: Zara, Jeans: DIY Tie-Dye, Swimsuit: Splendid c/o SwimSpot, Bag: c/o Lodinatt
Flip Flips: Old Navy, Sunglasses: Karen Walker

About Town:
When strolling about a beach town I love going for the basics like cut off shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. If you're in a beachy place like Miami a bathing suit under every outfit is a must. You never know when you'll end up on the beach...but you can consider that pretty much a done deal.

Shirt: Tommy Hilfger, Shorts: DIY cut-offs, Swimsuit: Splendid c/o SwimSpot, Bag: c/o Lodinatt
Sunglasses: Raybans, Sneakers: Puma

Adventures:
If you're the adventurous type you know that a pair of sneakers on a vacation is a must. I know that when my fiancee and I were in Hawaii we were roaming about different trails on the searching for waterfalls; so sneakers, a tote bag that carried everything from water to lotion (plus room for flip flops), and clothing that allowed me to breathe was essential. A swimsuit underneath is needed so that taking your shirt off won't be deemed inappropriate.

What do you wear on your vacations?
