Color + Knit

There's something special about boating. On the other hand, dressing for sun, heat, sea water, cold, and strong wind is another story. This knit sweater and scarf provided the right amount of cool and warm. 

Happy Wednesday!

Ocean Blue

The fabric that screams "beach, beach, beach!" Linen. This colorful linen tunic is light and breezy - thrown over a swimsuit for a lunch - pool - afternoon look. This one in particular caught my eye with a gentle blue color and the stripe details that add structure around the collar and hem.

The Island Tourist



Photo Credit: Victoria M.

Even before the second Sex and the City movie debuted, I relished the idea of the glamorous international tourist. I envisioned visiting a historic city in a long silky printed dress, hair with soft waves and a headwrap, shades, and great accessories. This was a terrible idea for many reasons. Long silky dresses don't hold up to dirt, sweat, or 100 degree weather, hair turns flat and ponytailed, and excessive accessories get in the way of shopping for more accessories. After countless mishaps, I've become a full supporter of practical tourist duds with pops of color. This daytime island tourist outfit is made up of durable shorts/light jeans, a breathable top, basic and useful accessories, and sturdy shoes.
