A couple things I’ve picked up for our trip (some of these I owned already!) …

For travel days — I love j.crews slub tee’s, and these bryson wash jeans with the raw hem are still my fave.  I am constantly washing them, so I can re-wear them.  With my trusty new balances.

For the way home (or the way there)… another j.crew slub tee … the one I own that’s identical to this is zara (for $8!).  + My athleta pants (c/o) are actually on sale, and are great for plane days.

for the beach – I love aerie’s bathing suits.  They’re at such a great price point, and they fit.  I do feel a little embarrassed going in there because I feel like I should be a teen.  But the fabrics are great and I love the cuts.  I bought this one piece and this two-piece.  I also bought 5” inseam shorts from old navy, and a little crop top for beach days on an impulse from aerie.  this asos shirred dress is so similar to one I bought from j.crew last year.  perfect for a coverup.  Love the new Universal Thread line at Target… especially these shoes are so neutral- they go with anything and perfect for a tropical vacation.  This Mar y Sol tote is probably the one coming with me … though I may bring the petunia pickle bottom fair trade tote.  Also I am bringing with me a couple cabana life tunics and rashguards for long boat days.

for lunches/dinner or exploring the island — I’ve heard it’s pretty casual everywhere, but I still plan on dressing up a little bit one night.

This Shoshanna dress – I’m still doing rent the runway unlimited (I need to do an update on the post), and this dress seemed great for a casual dinner out.  I also rented this halston heritage white dress which will be perfect at the end of the week when I have a little color.

I always love to bring a smaller purse (like the capri crossbody from St. Armands Designs)  +  a little clutch (like the bamboo one from J.McLaughlin (c/o).

I LOVE this tencel jumpsuit from Old Navy.  It’s super soft, and comfortable.  Could even be worn on a travel day.

The heels are also from J.McLaughlin – love the woven texture.  They’ll go with everything, and I always think a block heel supports me well… when I have to do heels!

This pink maxi from H&M is a little see through… so you’d need a little slip underneath.  But it’s such a pretty color and in that breathable gauze.

The Tongsai palm shift from J.McLaughlin (c/o) is one I’ve had my eyes on.

I thought these gingham pull on shorts with their top (currently $10 after sale code).
