Day 1: Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Wedding Day!)

As you already know (or if you didn't know) I'm going on a cruise for my cousin's wedding and to celebrate my dad, my aunt and my uncle's birthday NEXT MONTH!! So it's coming down to the wire to look for some last minute things for the cruise, especially a dress for the wedding that will be at Half Moon Cay, The Bahamas. I'm looking for something pretty but also something that will go with the nice weather but also more of a formal wear look for the summer. 

These are just dress ideas for what I'm looking for when it comes to the dress I want to get. These dresses are under $100 (which is my dress limit) and pretty plus I love the color scheme very summery and flowy. I love to show a lot of skin but not too much skin, so more of a strapless or a spaghetti straps type dress is what I was looking for. These dresses fit what I was looking for. 

I'm even trying to look for a dress similar to my white dress from the last cruise I was on. 

 If I can get a dress similar to this then I would be very happy!! :) 

We will see what happened...there's 37 days left until im in sunny Miami boarding The Carnival Conquest. I can't wait, the excitement is killing me!!! 

XOXO,

Start Cruisin' for A Cruise

The day you go on a cruise, you have to be prepared but also look fabulous at the same time. When I go on a cruise, my family and I usually come a two days before just to chill in the area before we board the ship. I usually have my onboard cruise clothes already set before I even leave New York because I don't want to mess up my clothes that's in my suitcase and cram my stuff in back in (That's a lot of headache to deal with....seriously!) 

This look above would be the typical look I'll go for when I go on a cruise for the first day. Something comfortable yet cute because you never know if you see a cutie while your waiting in line to be checked in....you always got to be prepared. ;) I love to wear comfortable shoes like TOMS, Converse or a simple pair of Old Navy flip flops always does the work. I wouldn't do flip flops sometimes because while your online getting checked in, the flip flop does get a little uncomfortable and those lines are extremely LONG (If you ever been a cruise, those long lines are MURDER!! lol!!)

TOMS are definitely the way to go, they are cute and comfortable...why wouldn't you want cute shoes on your feet? When I go on vacation no matter where I go, I always have a tote or a book bag because I would bring my laptop with me, snacks for the plane or car ride, my neck pillow, my outfit for when I get on the boat with a pair of shoes(or I would wear the same shoes I was wore when I left NYC ) and I teddy bear because I love having a piece of home with me when I go on vacation. Usually when I have a lot of stuff, I would be bring my Jansport because better to have it on my back but if it's a little bit of stuff, I like to bring a oversize tote bag.

I do wear jewelry, I mean who doesn't wear a pretty pair of jewelry?? I like to wear my Betsy Johnson Rose Gold watch, my gold necklace and my flower earrings, I like to keep it simple and nice. It's always good to wear a minimal jewelry to you don't want to wear too much and look gaudy jewelry, unless you want to stand out then it would work for you. I like to keep it cute and simple, that's the way to go.

My luggage are always colorful and cute but distinctive because you don't want to have the typical solid color luggage I love prints. My recent suitcase that my mom brought me this cute flower print luggage, very pretty and just stands out that why I love it. Suitcases are good to have to no matter the size, either it's a medium or extra large it also depends on how long your going for too. When I go on vacation, a short trip (usually a weekend trip) I usually go with a weekend bag or a small suitcase but when I go on a long trip (like a week or more) I usually use a large suitcase because I like to bring a lot of stuff with me when I go. I like to way out my options when I'm on vacation; each day different outfits for different occasions or just to chill in. It's all about the quality of the suitcase too, you don't want to get a cheap suitcase that will break along the way but a durable piece of luggage like Heavy Duty, good quality, very spacey and also expensive.

So on you next vacation, know that it's always good to have a comfortable look and shoes and know what to pack because you always want to be prepared and always be fabulous doing it.

XOXO,

Miami Lovin' - Summer Cruise Cutie!!!

As you know last October, I went on a family cruise to the Caribbeans. It was cool but I wish there was more fun things to do but being with my family is fun enough for me. After this Cruise, we found out my cousin and his fiancée is having a summer cruise wedding this year in August and of course, I will be on that cruise thanks to my parents and sister. 

We are leaving from Miami, Florida and we are going on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise with Carnival. So this time I will be doing a look for each day, from the day we embark on the cruise from the time we disembark from the cruise. This year I'm going with my family but I'm traveling with my dad and little brother to Miami. 

So the first look is the day we get into Miami. Being in New York, the summertime is crazy hot but down in Miami is extra hot but I will be ready for that but I got to leave my state in style as always.

This look is what I would go for when I'm leaving New York for Miami, something comfortable but also looking cute at the same time because you never know who you run into on your way to Miami. It's always fun to go on vacation during the summer because of the many other people who will be going on vacation too, especially on a cruise vacation. This will be my fifth cruise that I will be going on and im very blessed to be able to go on cruises with my family and have a good time. I can't wait to go on my first Wedding cruise with my family, it's going to be so much fun.

XOXO,
