The first thing that usually comes to your mind when you hear the word summer is sun-kissed skin, bikinis, and beaches. It’s about fun under the heat of the sun where people are freed from their daily routines. Summer is the season for ice cream, snow cones and popsicles! Whether it’s for one day, one week or multiple weeks summer has always been my favorite!
As a child, I couldn’t wait for a week long excursion! So many of my childhood memories are from summer! From road trips to camping to week long beach trips, it was all so much fun!
Since the hubs and I have been engaged, we’ve managed to continue this little tradition of “going away” for a week for some R&R and making memories. Our first trip was to Destin, Florida. The stunning turquoise water and the white sandy beaches sure do make this Texas girl happy! Dinner and shopping at the Harbor and naps on the beach sure does a body good! Our next stop was Aruba! Six nights and seven days in Aruba for our Honeymoon definitely made it a trip to remember! The experience and culture sure does live up to it’s name, “One Happy Island!” Endless drinks, water adventures and spa days are calling my name back to Aruba! Last year we chose the Adults Only route in Cabo San Lucas! Need I say more? Find more details here on why the hubs and I are hooked on Cabo!
This color block dress reminds me of summer! With all the bright colors and flowing fit you can’t go wrong. And the pleats!!! They sure do add such a flirty look! Throw on gold accessories and nude heels and you’re set with a summer filled look! In love with this dress and need it now, shop it here!
