Easy Vacation Outfit featuring Farm Rio & Maria La Rosa

Here is an easy vacation outfit featuring the this blue and white maxi dress by Farm Rio. It's perfect, unique and great quality. 

The dress has minimal give and runs true to size. This dress has cutouts throughout at the waistline and zips up the back.  It's a versatile dress because it works for both day and night.  I paired the dress with some Stuart Weitzman pink sandals and a new bag by Maria La Rosa - the Game Clutch in the color Cielo.  

I am obsessed with how roomy this clutch is and how you can opt to use it with or without the chain strap. The inside has one tiny interior pocket which is credit card sized. It's got a ton of space, and you can easily fit your phone, camera along with all of the other essentials. 

Bag: Maria La Rosa Game Clutch in color Cielo

Boho Weekend

Do you have a lot of yellow in your wardrobe? I know a lot of you shy away from the color but I think it's perfect for the spring and summer months.  If you're still not ready to take the all yellow plunge, begin by incorporating it in small doses, like the ikat print of my tunic.  Some great summer options are this dress and this dress. No matter what your skintone, yellow will help illuminate and brighten your complexion. While we're on the topic, how cute is this one piece lightning bolt bathing suit by Wildfox? 

Currently Coveting: Summer Beach Essentials

Summer is here!  We Miamians really know our beach style, so I thought I'd put together a post rounding up some summer and beach essentials to help you look chic while playing in the sand.  This will be a three part post, with follow up posts in June and July.

ENJOY, and THANK YOU FOR READING :D XX

1 ASOS Scarf Print Beach Pant //2 Bop Basics Rafia backpack //3 Juicy Couture Wide Brim Straw Sun Hat is now only $29 (and if you sign up for their e-mails you get an extra 20% off your first purchase)

4 Top Shop Cobalt Maxi coverup // 5 C.Wonder Bold Aviators - I love that these have a thicker rim and come in three colors // 6 Melissa for Forever 21 Bow jelly flats // 7 Starfish Rings // 8 Sashi Bracelet

9 Dolce Vita Thong Flat Sandals // 10 Heart Breaker Sophie Bikini  // 11 Old Navy Plaid Shorts 

12 Toni Praver Bikini // 13 Melissa Obadash coverup // 14 Striped Nylon Tote // 

15 Juicy Couture Lucite Bangles 

16 Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Oil - for the drying effects that the ocean can have on your hair, this stuff works wonders.  It's less thick than most of the hair oils, but I feel like it penetrates the hair and makes it soft.
17 St. Tropez Self Tanning Gel  (Gets rave reviews)
18 Ouidad Double Detangler Comb - made for curls/ waves. 

19 Jergens Crema: seriously my new favorite cream.  I was and am a big fan of Kiehl's Creme de Corps, because of the whipped thick texture, and fragrance.  But I am not a fan of it's price tag.  This new Jergens product is something that I will buy again and and again when it runs out.  I was given all three fragrances, Aloe, Oatmeal and Coconut.  Oddly enough the Oatmeal is my favorite fragrance because it smells like Creme de Corps, light and faint vanilla.  Moisturizes really well and lasts a long time.
20 Sephora Hair Ties - my fave, double as little bracelets.
21 Hair Turban - a must!
22 Arcona Triad Pads - full five star reviews on Nordstrom.com.  They're refreshing and light toner pads that remover makeup and face grime.  I like these, and their effects, but I do not like the fragrance.  It's a bit strong, and I dislike cranberries.  I think this is probably the reason why the fragrance bugs me.
23 Arcona Rezone 40 Sunscreen- described as the "holy grail" of sunscreens, this is a fantastic product.  It's a sunscreen, protecting against the sun's rays with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  Also contains an ingredient that helps calm the skin.  This goes on like a sheer tinted mouse (sort of like that whipped stuff from the drugstore by Maybelline) It rubs in easily and then dries without being overly greasy.  Good stuff.

Disclosure: I was provided full sized samples of the Arcona products by MMI PR & Marketing.  I was also provided the Jergens Crema when I attended Dani of Nany'z Klozet's party last month.
