Resort Ready: What To Pack

{ Via: Tiffany LaBelle }

It's snowing like crazy as I write this post.  I think it is time to getaway. If you are heading to a lovely resort, feel confident that you belong. Leave the sweatshirt and cutoffs at home. Here's a few pretty pieces that will have you vacationing in style.

Samantha Brown Four Piece Set

World traveler, Samantha Brown knows how to design functional luggage that is also good looking. This set comes complete with a hardside pilot case, quilted satchel, and two packing cubes. Proof that you can arrive in style without b breaking the bank. This entire set is less than $170.

Tory Burch Ravello Studded Sandals

The flat to pack. These stylish sandals will go with almost everything. Luxe in leather with a glimpse of gold glam.

Neiman Marcus

Onia Stella Swimsuit

The one ruffle shoulder detail is so fun. Loving the color which is called "rooibos." 

Everything But Water

Silvia Tcherassi Tomillo Skirt  

Perfect for walking the cobblestone streets of Rome, gorgeous for a gondola ride in Venice, or lunch poolside anywhere. 

Shopbop

Neo Tassel Full Length Caftan

When staying at a resort, a chic cover up is a must have. This one will take you through the lobby to  breakfast and beyond with style.

Everything But Water

Midi Caftan Dress

Comfy chic and made from Modal and Spandex. Where couldn't you wear this? 

Great in black, too.

Think Pink

There's nothing like matching your luggage to your hotel. Brics has a color for every destination. I'm thinking that these pinks and corals would be perfect for 
The Breakers Palm Beach.
Brics Milano

Floral Kimono
Here's how to dress up denim for island evenings. Throw on the one pair of heels that you brought, and add this slinky kimono. It doesn't take up any room in the suitcase either. At the pool, it can double as a coverup. Practical and pretty!
Beyond Proper

Dos Soles Dorados Woven Earrings
Designed by one of my favorites, Mercedes Salazar, these were handmade by Colombian artisans. Love!
Everything But Water

Packable Bow Hat
A feminine and practical finishing touch. And the fact that you can pack it without ruining it is a bonus! Available in four different ribbon colors.
Tuckernuck

Beach Weekend Straw Tote
A woven straw tote is pool perfect. The tassels add the fun.

Wedding Wednesday: Shades Of Purple Are Trending

{ Via: Elegant Wedding Invites }

On my first date with "Mr Shop This,"I wore a white dress with a lavender linen long vest. Little did I know that it was the color of romance, at least this year it is. As a matter of fact, we started seeing shades of purple at the end of 2018, and the trend is expected to be one of the strongest color stories of the year. After putting together this edit, I can see why brides are choosing these stylish shades.

HERE: 13 Fabulous Finds

Lavender Gown
If you are a serious purple loving girl, this gown by Ralph & Russo would be a dramatic look walking down the aisle. It's from the design duo's Spring 2019 collection.
