#TargetStyle: Vacation Worthy Sandals

 

The time for beach vacations has arrived! Whether you're trying to escape the snow or just enjoying some fun in the sun, warm tropical destinations are probably on your travel agenda. Enter the perfect options from Target!! You'll definitely want to pick up these shoes for your next spring break or summer trip...

 

 

Tribal Print Sandal // Neon Sandal // Silver Gladiator Sandals
 Black Printed Wedge Sandal // Braided Strap Wedge Sandal // Two-Tone Wedge Sandal

 

I've got a few tips & tricks that will help you decide on what types of pairs to include and how to pack them!

Since tropical destinations don't require much more than a bikini, a good book & a ice cold drink - your suitcase should stay fairly light. During the day, you'll probably will be strolling beaches or hanging poolside - maybe a little sight seeing here and then. Then nighttime is reserved for casual relaxed dinners & evenings out at local spots.

Pick 2 pairs of flat sandals to bring - 1 fun or colorful option (obsessed with this bold 2-tone option) and 1 neutral that can go with most of your vacay wardrobe. Remember the leopard ones from Monday's Target Spring Essential post? Love those & I think we've established that leopard is totally a neutral ;) By choosing each of these, your giving yourself options, yet only taking up room with 2 pairs of flat shoes! Double Bonus, right?

I recommend making your dressy pair of shoes a platform wedge. They'll be comfy enough to walk around town (if needed) and you can throw them on with any skirts, summer frocks or pair of shorts to easily spruce up your evening ensemble. When we went to Puerto Rico last year I chose a pair that were perfect for a wedding yet could be worn with anything else I brought. Oh! Make sure to wear them on the plane! You'll keep your airport look stylish and save room in your suitcase. Done & Done.

What are some of your favorite shoes to bring on vacation? Did I leave anything out that you think is a must have?

So before we move back east, Bill and I decided that we wanted to visit our favorite places here and around in L.A. We started last week by visiting Disneyland, Santa Anita & Las Vegas. Here's just a few of our photos from those adventures! Oh & make sure you're following me on instagram or Facebook to keep up with our favorite spots!

 

 

I had to get a pretzel at Disneyland - especially when I saw it was shaped like Mickey's face!

My best equestrian look for a day at the races

 

Night 1 in Vegas - Black & White

 

We splurged and ending up seeing the Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show. 1 word - Amazeballs.

 

Me & Bill at Beatles Love - I promise he owns more than 2 red plaid shirts ;)

 

Headed to the Eiffel Tower restaurant at Paris - notice what's on my feet?! Yes sir! I found these babies! ahhhhhh!

 

Next up is Hawaii! We've never been and I am so freaking excited!! If anyone has any suggestions about what to do - please send them to us! We're visiting Kaua'i and I think we've already got a helicopter tour planned... Eeeeek! Happy weekend everyone!! xo

Gone Palm Springsing

We're off to spend Labor Day at our home away from home, Palm Springs! I've been feverishly packing, shopping and prepping for my trip to NYC. Okay, it's all I've been thinking talking about for the past 3 weeks. So this weekend will serve as a much needed break before I jump feet first into conferences, meetings, dinners, shows, etc..!

I wanted to share a few photos of the place we always stay during our PS excursions. Dana and Steve's home was showcased in an issue of California Home Design magazine not too long ago. They have amazing taste in everything (decor, clothes, food - you name it) and yes, it's always this clean. I'm so grateful that they always greet us with open arms & margaritas. Now you see why we can't get enough of the desert? Hope you have a GREAT 3 day weekend!!

Outfit Post: Rain Forest Wedding

 Dress: Target (old but blogged about here)

Shoes: Sole Society

Clutch: GiGi New York All In One Bag c/o Shut Up I Love That Shirt (last seen here)

Earrings: JewelMint

Bracelets: The Stylist LA, Gifted

Nails: Sinful Colors "Dream On"

Lips: Revlon Fuchsia Fusion

If you ever have regrets about getting married in a rain forest - don't. What an amazing and gorgeous backdrop. Especially if you choose Hacienda Siesta Alegre in Puerto Rico. Just, WOW.

Since the attire was "Resort "Casual" I pulled out my little red dress and my favorite jute wedges from Sole Society.  I love that the silhouette is so simple yet the detail is intricate. The corset-like top kept the dress fancy enough for a wedding while the color was playful and fun. Easy, breezy accessories and wavy beach hair topped off my look.

While we were snapping some shots, Billy took a few for another couple. Looks like he got some practice in with a fancy camera.... birthday present anyone? {p.s. loved his groomsman attire :)}
