Cancun: Part IV - Final Take

Fashion Fundamental:  silk tank

Wah wah... last day of Vacation. I miss the beautiful ocean...

I've heard some folks complain about the upkeep and maintenance of silk. I used to be part of that crew, but after some broader experience with the fabric -- I have learned how to love it. Yes, you have to dry clean it, but it's worth it. It helps make any outfit more glamorous and elegant. And, if I'm in a pinch -- I throw a silk shirt on the low/no-heat tumble in the dryer for a quick refresh or non-iron solution. A piece like this would be beautiful with a pencil skirt, under a blazer, cardigan, etc. Silk tank... need it!

Thanks for joining me in vacation fun. Check out part I, II & III.

Vacation Part III: Chichen Itza

Fashion Fundamental:  Crocs

Yep.. I said it! These puppies made their debut last year for the Petite Fashion Challenge #11 - vacation wear. Legit.. crocs are amazing travel shoes. Not only can I kick them off at airport security, but they are lightweight, easy to clean and very comfortable. 

I spent the day visiting one of the "wonders of the world" Chichen Itza.  It was an amazing, mythical experience that I will never forget. I recommend checking it out if you ever have the chance!

For a long day of walking, visiting cenotes and haggling with local vendors -- I am very happy I chose my Malindi Crocs. They are a great alternatives to flip flops and are quite cute! These are "Jane Squared" approved!

Have you been rocking your crocs? Tell us about them!

Cancun Part II - aqua blue

Fashion Fundamental:  shorts

Just another beautiful day in the Cancun paradise...

Vacation is the best time to bust out some adorable shorts.  I love this pick from AE with the pockets peeking out the shorts. These are essential for walking around in hot weather. All of this walking makes me want one thing... a nice, cold Coke. Mexican Coke... best ever!

Check out Part I for the start of the Cancun holiday.  Happy Monday!

Vacation: Cancun Part I

 

Vacation Fashion Fundamental:  Flip Flops 

A few weeks ago, I visited Cancun, Mexico for the first time! I was there for a lovely, relaxing vacation. Time was spent reading magazines, strolling through the vibrant markets, and hanging out at the beach. 

Along with my Kindle, I came prepared with my trusty summer flip flops. These shoes were easy to pack and Havianas are the best because they are super comfortable.

Meet G! He's rocking a casual look with a Jack & Jones polo (similar), Old Navy shorts (similar) and his own pair of trusty flops.

Results are in... did you exercise your right to vote?
