Dreaming Of Resort

It's good to be back after a little unplanned blogging break. Sometimes life just gets in the way. I was so tired last evening after a long and stressful few days, I slept like a log and dreamt about Hawaii. There were umbrella drinks, white sandy beaches, balmy temps,  and some really cute things in my suitcase. I must have shopped at  'Shop This!' If you have a Winter Getaway planned, or like me, are just dreaming of one, get your dose of sunshine with these warm weather wonders.  Think brights, whites, metallics and more.

I am not a big maxi dress fan for streetwear, but I absolutely love them for resort and beachwear.  This one is perfect ship to shore.

Amantha Embellished Viscose Jacket
This pretty piece plays double duty which is what we need when packing for a va-cay. Wear it as a jacket with Wolford's Athens Tulle Tank underneath and your fave white pants.  Or wear it as a swimsuit cover up poolside or on the beach.
