What to Wear on a Resort Vaca: Part 3

Winter is in full force, and although I love the cooler temps and the many layers, a mid-January trip to a tropical locale has me daydreaming. If you are lucky enough to have an upcoming trip on the calendar (what a way to start 2017!) I hope you will find my series on What to Wear on a Resort Vaca helpful. Part three is all about what to wear to dinner. If you missed parts 1 & 2, you can check them out here, and here.

In hot climates, you wear next to nothing all day- just to stay cool. So dinner is a special time to show off your style and take things up a notch. Remember, you're on vacation so stick to flat sandals and little makeup to hold onto your relaxed vibe. Jewelry and a statement clutch, like the one featured here from Seek Wander Share, add a little something extra without trying too hard. 

I hope you've enjoyed this series and that it comes in handy as you pack for your any warm weather getaways in your future. Please share your own outfit picks and tips in the comments below. xx

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? Fashion rules are meant to be broken and with summer seeping into September, why not indulge in summer style a bit longer? I paired my shirt dress from Reve en Vert with my favorite skirt from Svilu for this beautiful breezy look.

The shirt dress is a staple for fall fashion, but not in the way you're thinking... Instead of wearing it buttoned up and belted, the new look is to wear it as more of an open jacket. I'm loving this layer and how it adds a little something extra to the outfit.

Eco-Outfit: How to Wear a Bodysuit

Oh how I love a good bodysuit! So sexy without trying too hard. For of-the-moment styling, pair with high waisted jeans or jean cut-offs. The high waist helps with proportions, while the denim material keeps the overall feel more casual. If you did want to dress up a bodysuit, pair with wide or straight leg silk or satin trousers and a high heel.

I was so thrilled to partner with Reve En Vert for this outfit because they have the high fashion (eco) goods! Namely the bodysuit and trench I have been lusting after. ;) I paired them together with my California girl staples- jean cut-offs and slip on sneaks for a high- low look.

Eco-Outfit: Sea Foam & LemLem

Summer felt like a slow start to me this year and then all of a sudden (with a heat wave no less!) it was on. When I think summer and about which eco brands I want to shop, LemLem is top of mind. My friends at Reve En Vert carry the line and had this super cute dress available to help me usher in summer with style. (BTW- REV is having a 60% off sale right now, so check it out to stock your closet with some awesome eco pieces!)

If you are unfamiliar with LemLem, let me fill you in. It was started by model Liya Kebede in 2007. The aim of LemLem is to share beautiful craftsmanship with the world while employing skilled workers in Ethiopia. Everything is handwoven and made with natural cotton fibers. You've probably seen a LemLem piece or two poolside at a tropical resort, and now with the more fashion pieces like a jumpsuit and romper, you'll likely recognize the brand around LA's hot spots. 

LemLem is definitely a summer go-to in my book. What about you? What brands are you loving for summer style?
