Caribbean Crochet

by The Perennial Style | Dec 4, 2014 | Style, Uncategorized

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:

Vacation Recap: Club Med Martinique

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!

Take a look at some of the photos of our vacation below and be sure to check out Club Med’s site to learn more! Some other Club Med resorts we have visited are: Opio en Provence, Guadeloupe, Punta Cana, Ixtapa, Copper Mountain, Huatulco, Cancun Yucatan, Turks and Caicos, and Sandpiper.
