Splash of Color

Everyone needs a splash of color in their life. These photos just make me smile, not sure about you, but they’re definitely a happy when we’re back at Monday. I snagged this Calypso dress for our trip a few weeks ago to the Grand Caymans. I love how easy it is to throw on with a pair of heels and a fun clutch. It was especially perfect after getting rather sunburnt one of the days (see the remnant tan lines) because the dress is rather flowy and free, it didn’t rub against my toasted skin and make me feel miserable!

I’ve been trying to inject more color into my life (aka wardrobe) lately. I am guilty of falling into the black, white and navy trend – it’s so easy to wear neutrals. And believe me, neutrals aren’t bad, but I have my entire life to wear neutrals, why not add some color now, right?!

 If you’re in the market for a great summer bag – look no further, Heidi Wynne makes the best crossbody bags and market tote for the season. I am in love with my woven clutch, it’s even lined, so it’s not as flimsy as others.

PS – if you’re looking for some shopping and packing advice when it comes to an upcoming summer trip, I’ve got you covered here:
