Thailand: Koh Samui - Da Beach

Beach G

It's our last day in Thailand -- so we're having our last hurrah at the beautiful Koh Samui beach. G & I are no strangers to the beach, so we grabbed some cocktails and relaxed. 

I'm wearing my new favorite, white dress I got on super sale from Gap. Sometimes you can really get stellar deals on the clearance rack at the back. 

There's just something so fresh about a summer dress in white (here's a winter version). Hmmm.. I'm already missing the sand & the sun!

Thailand: Koh Samui - ASOS dress

Thailand - resumed! 

G & I went to the one of the best restaurants on the Koh Samui island - The Larder. The food was great and a nice break from street food, and things on the go. I'm wearing my new favorite vacation/summer dress from ASOS. I love the print and the side slit is not too high, but still sexy. Maxis continue to be comfortable, yet stylish. 

I can't wait until it's warm again to wear this dress! #PolarVortex

Museo Nacional de Antropología

Fashion Fundamental: Scarf - When I travel, I always bring along an oversized scarf; they are on double duty as a wrap/shawl, blanket or pillow on the plane, and style statement.

If I can avoid it, I'd rather not carry along a heavy coat, so I chose a scarf in lieu of a coat, which worked perfectly for my day at the National Anthropology Museum.  That about covers my mini-reunion with my college buddies in Mexico City.  The only other thing that I'd definitely recommend is a trip to an amazing series of caves that you can hike through--Grutas de la Estrella.

El Zócalo

Fashion Fundamental: A great blazer was definitely a must-have for me on this trip.  I wore it casually, walking around the city and layered over a ruffly blouse for a dinner out on my trip.  Check out this video for tips on how to travel with blazers.

I've just returned from Mexico City visiting a few of my very best friends from college, and we had an amazing time. exploring the city, noshing on shrimp tacos & ceviche, and generally catching up on each other's lives. :)

We spent the day walking around el Zócalo--the historic heart of Mexico City.

Also a belated Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrated!  What was the best thing you ate? And did you score any great deals on Black Friday?

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!

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?
