When packing for a Caribbean vacation, my suitcase is filled with flowy, comfortable dresses perfect for those casual nights on the beach. It’s the only type of trip where I leave all of my stilettos at home and live solely in wedges and sandals! One of my favorite looks for beach vacations is crochet. I think crochet is such a feminine, yet weather-conscious, style that is forever a classic. I absolutely love this dress I picked up for the trip – not only is it perfect for tropical nights, but I definitely see myself pairing it with a pair of ankle booties and a floppy hat for a Sunday Funday look in Dallas! Best of all? It was less than $30! Such a steal. Check out my Martinique look and shop my pieces below:

HANDS UP BABY!
For the three of us,
Club Med has always been our favorite vacation spot. Ever since we attended our first resort in
Ixtapa almost twenty years ago, we have dedicated
Club Med as our happy place. The mix of countless activities, high-energy music and dancing, and the unforgettable friendships created on these weeklong vacations has made
Club Med the perfect family vacation spot. We have been shaped by these wonderful experiences into the people we are today! Now I know it may seem hard to believe that one chain of resorts can really impact someone’s life that much, but until you’ve experienced it, you will have to take our word!
This past week, our family flew to
Martinique in the Caribbean for a week of tropical bliss. We had an unforgettable time on the island and enjoyed our much needed week away from work! With snorkeling, kayaking, waterskiing, windsurfing, dancing, boating, and much much more, we had the hardest time saying goodbye and heading back to reality!
One of the highlights of our trip was our catamaran trip to St. Lucia for the day. We sailed over in pleasant winds, visited the local markets, explored the cliffside, and had a yummy lunch on the beach! Though a surprise tropical storm on the way back with massive waves engulfing our sailboat put quite a twist on our peaceful cruise, it was definitely an experience to remember!

Growing up an hour from the Florida coast, I spent every weekend on the boat soaking in the summer rays. I practically lived in bikinis and the idea of sunscreen seemed optional, rather than necessary, since I tanned easily and never burned. As I got older, I began to understand the importance of protecting my skin. We read all the time how sunscreen will protect our skin from wrinkles and sun spots, but my sisters and I learned the hard way that the sun can cause much more damage than what meets the eye. After losing our father to melanoma in 2010, we decided to take serious action to protect our skin. As a girl who was constantly bronzed in all the warm seasons, the idea of being “pale” was a little difficult to get used to, so I took action and tested out a plethora of fake tanning methods. Though I always love a good spray tan, I occasionally leave looking more like a pumpkin than a beach babe. While the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer is great for slowly building a base color, I am more of an instant tan kind of gal. After a few failed attempts of store bought tanning lotions, Blair discovered this Sun Laboratories Ultra Dark Self Tanning Lotion and I instantly fell in love. This endless jug of Caribbean color will give you a fresh glow in a matter of minutes and continues to soak in over a few hours, leaving your skin streak-free and perfectly bronzed after a quick shower. We’ve shared this little secret with our friends in Dallas, but now it’s time to share it with all of you. Go ahead and give it a shot. Trust us, you will not be disappointed.
