How To Bring Chic Resort Style to Your Next Mexican Vacation

Today I’m sharing how to bring chic resort style to your Mexican vacation or any warm weather vacation. We are leaving this Sunday for Cancun and staying at the Garza Blanca Resort & Spa which is about 30 minutes north of downtown Cancun. I couldn’t be more excited! I decided to share some of the looks I am bringing which is also helpful with the my process of packing. There are some new purchases and some old but most are still available to buy if you are heading out on a warm weather vacation.

Boho Puff Sleeve Top, Denim Shorts, and Platform Sandals

The THML puff sleeve top is from last summer but this style of top is everywhere this year too. Meredith Jaye (where I work) has this one and this one if you’re interested. The shorts were a recent find at J.Crew factory. I love them and know I will wear them all summer. The TOMS platform sandals were a recent buy from Nordstrom Rack. I couldn’t resist because they were $40 and are so comfy.

One Piece Floral Bathing Suit with Matching Cover Up

I have been eyeing matching swim sets on Amazon for a while. I was unsure if they would be good quality but I’m so pleased when I received this one. Besides the gorgeous print and colors, I love the fit. The ruffles on the one shoulder and one hip are such a cute detail! The best part is that this set is under $50!

One Shoulder Ruffle Maxi Dress from Amazon

This maxi dress is an oldie but a goodie! I wore it on the blog a couple of years ago and have continued wearing it since then. The mix of red and pink is so gorgeous and I adore the one shoulder neckline and tiered skirt. Perfect for an evening dinner near the ocean. This dress is still available on Amazon in this print and several others. And it’s another amazing deal at $50! I am also bringing this dress that I shared last week.

Chic Resort Style Accessories

Don’t forget the accessories when you head out for your vacay! I had to share these gorgeous earrings that my husband got me for Valentine’s Day. (He also got me a rhinestone ring that I’m wearing in this pic.) I found both of these pieces at my friend Lauren’s shop. The brand is TOVA and I couldn’t get over how pretty their jewelry was. Adding some bling gives the pop your outfits need.

I also found this totally fun beach tote on Amazon. I received it the day after I shot these looks but I had to share how adorable this bag is. It will be sitting next to me at the rooftop pool with all my necessities. I love the sound of that!

Getting Ready for My Mexican Vacay with this Pretty Puff Sleeve Dress

I’m getting ready for my Mexican vacay with this pretty puff sleeve dress from Walmart. Yes, I said Walmart! My husband and I are heading out in the beginning of March for a quick trip to Mexico and I have started looking for additions to my warm weather wardrobe. This dress came across my radar and I couldn’t pass it up, especially since it’s only $25!

Puff Sleeve O-Ring Dress by Scoop

Walmart carries a wonderful clothing brand called Scoop. Scoop used to have retails stores and we had one in Chicago that I loved to check out ever so often when I lived in the city. It was more upscale and carried beautiful clothes that I admired from afar. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this brand on Walmart’s site a couple of years ago. I bought this top from Walmart last year. So now and again I check and see what’s new from them.

I love finding easy breezy dresses for vacations and this one fits that bill. The unique details and fit of this midi dress is all you need to make an entrance on your beach vacation. The puff sleeves add a dramatic touch. I tend to shy away from cut outs but the ones on this dress are above where my love handles are. Lol! The O-Ring at the waist is above my belly button. Both of these unique details accentuate the waist which I love.

The balance is perfect when it comes to this midi dress. The top is fitted while the bottom has volume and flows out. All I have to say is that it’s extremely comfortable to wear. You can eat all you want and no one will be the wiser. My one tip about sizing is go up a size. I originally bought an XS and I couldn’t get the zipper up in the back. So I returned it and got a S which fits perfectly. Not sure why it runs so small but it was worth the back and forth to figure it out. It does come in three colors – black, white, and pink.

How I’m Flipping the Switch on these Pink Tops for Valentine’s Day

Today I’m sharing how I’m flipping the switch on these pink tops for Valentine’s Day. So many wonderful bloggers I follow are shopping their closet instead of buying so I decided to join in as well. I’m more of a pink girl so I grabbed my fave pink tops and came up with these two looks.

Pink Puff Sleeve Sweatshirt with a Plaid Mini Skirt

This sweatshirt is perfect for Valentine’s Day because of the pretty pink color. The puff sleeves take it up a notch so why not dress it up with a fun skirt. I love how the pink in the plaid matches with the top while the green is a nice contrast. It’s really cold right now so I had to wear the tights. I was worried that the black was too dark with this look but I think I like it. Pink and black is one of my favorite color combos.

Pink Fringe Cardigan with Crop Flare Jeans

This cardigan just makes my heart sing with the fun fringe and bright pink shade. I usually dress this piece up. To dress it down I chose to go with these crop flare jeans and oxfords. The black patent oxfords add a cool preppy vibe to the look.
