Vacation 2.0

Well, I'm one lucky girl to say that I just got home from my second vacation of the summer - Ft. Walton Beach Florida!

What a wonderful week of relaxing, eating delicious food, and spending time with my (very large) family! 

As far as style went for the week, of course, like any beach vaca, swimsuits were the main garb, however I managed to stick in a few fun outfits... Tees and shorts are a go-to for vacations, since they're versatile, but it's always stylish to dress up an outfit with a funky necklace, adorable sunglasses, or to-die-for shoes! (Cue Jack Rogers sandals ~ my absolute fave!)

Now... I must display a bit of my wonderful photography skills:

And... My not-so-wonderful photos of me trying to be a model:

Well, I tried. (Thanks to my Aunt Me-Me for putting up with my demands for a "good" picture ;)

Last, but not least, a tip for any fashion-conscious beach-goer: NEVER provoke a teenage boy cousin by splashing water at him. He WILL pour a whole bucket of water on you, regardless of your thought-out outfit and hairstyle. You've been warned.

Vacation Essentials

It's finally summer!!! Ahhhhh, I'm do excited to be finished with the stress of school, homework, and tests! It's kind of funny, I feel like now that my brain is free of all the school stuff, it can absorb so much information! 

Of course the word "summer" goes with the word "vacation" and I'm lucky to say that I am enjoying one right now :) Cancun, Mexico, baby! It's goregous here, but the large amount of sunburn on my body is not fun... (thank The Lord for aloe). Aside from a reminder to wear sunscreen (wear it, seriously), I'm excited to show you some of the fun and summer outfits I've put together for this trip! 

From flowy dresses to khaki shorts, I had a variety of different outfits for this trip, but I focused on comfort and style! :)

And now a few tips for this season of travel! 

#1 - comfort is a necessity. Take it from someone who spent two days limping around the resort because she wore uncomfortable sandals on what turned out to be a 3 mile walk... (Can you say blisters??)

#2 - a light cardigan can be a savior on a chilly evening out to dinner or for a walk on the beach. Easy to pack and a super cute addition to your sundress!

#3 - tropical areas abroad are the perfect places to show off funky jewelry and hair accesories! (Note my new flower crown!!

...and now a photo of our beautiful resort!!

I hope you're having a great start to this sunny season! Comment any of your best "traveling in style" tips!
