Easy Breezy Style, Packing for the Tropics
Email to a friendPrint this article
The tickets are bought, suitcases are out, and the sandals dug out from the back of the closet. It’s time ditch this mud party and find one someplace tropical.
Your suitcase is out. But it’s empty. Somehow none of last summer’s stuff seems right for the getaway. The islands require something more breezy, more carefree - loose and sexy like the way you’ll wear your hair.
Here are a few ideas…just remember to pack your contentment, and leave the stress at home.
First thing, head to Calypso. There is no better spot for tropical dresses, skirts, jewelry, you name it. You’re on your way now, ok to start picturing yourself lounging by the ocean, toasting the sunset with a Piña Colada and melting away the winter chills.
A savvy island girl floats past baggage claim lines and hops straight into her rented Smart car. Since your holiday threads are so light and breezy, you can stuff them into this killer bag by Philip Lim when puddle jumping between islands. Why not make the most of every minute?
Grab your basket and take an early morning stroll through the village market in this great dress from Sunner.
Forget ubiquitous, trendy brands, these jeans epitomize the laidback style of your vacation. They’re just right for rolling around in the sand at midnight with you know who. Bikini top optional.
Roarrrr you’ll definitely get hunted down wearing this bikini from Michael Kors.
Running across a white sand beach in your string bikini is one of the few times past your teenage years that an ankle bracelet is actually acceptable; so go for it. This one will make you feel like you are 16 again, flirty, adventurous, and totally carefree.
It’s your last night in paradise, begun with another gorgeous sunset. Make it one for the memory books by channeling your inner Jolie. Rock this sexy strapless LBD by Lotta Stensson and you’ll be ready to enjoy every last minute of your trip.
You can always sleep on the plane.

Oh I so want a vacation! If only to wear that Lotta Stensson dress. And to channel Jolie. And to down painkillers all day. Who wants to edit for a week so I can go do some in-person fact-checking?
