Before every big trip, I turn to Mitch and tell him that I’m traveling light. But somehow, it just never happens. It’s hard! There are so many things to consider: the weather (and whether temperatures will dip in the mornings and evenings), the activities we choose to participate in, what family and friends will be wearing, and my mood and energy level. (Haha. Silly, but it’s hard to predict. On some trips, I want to feel super special every day. On others, it’s shorts, a t-shirt, and unkempt hair for the win.)
An inability to pack light apparently runs in the family, though. Today, my mother said to me, “Oh, I completely understand. Your father’s suitcase was only half full, so I shoved as many extra pairs of shoes in it as I could before we left home.”
Hehe.
Anyway, Sail to Sable’s gorgeous resort line was a HUGE help with packing for Miami, as its dresses, tunics and tops are lively and intricate. Each piece can be dressed up or down, and they require little to no jewelry. (Even though I haven’t taken off my new Michele Benjamin necklace since arriving. I can’t help it!) Versatility and an easier-to-manage suitcase? I love it.
And how beautiful is this Cambridge Shift I’m wearing?! I love the embroidery around the collar, the fabric’s stretchiness, and the exposed gold zipper. Details. It’s all in the details. Slip on a pair of Jacks, throw a cardigan in your purse, and you’re good to go!
Thanks for taking my photos, Kim! xoxo

Prep on a Budget
Chocolate croissants are to die for! Thanks hubby for giving me a great new “habit” ;)
I would kill for some sunshine on my face! This winter in Chicago hasn’t been too bad (bite my tongue) but there hasn’t been a lot of sunny days lately.
I hear this Chicago winter is nothing compared to last, but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t suck! ;) Let the countdown to springtime begin!
Loving the cute new line
You and I have Sail to Sable problems. :) xoxo — Happy almost birthday!
Ahh this makes me miss summer sooo much! And I want that dress!
That dress is perfect for the warm Florida weather, I love the colors in it!

Haha did you stop at that CVS right off the main drag as you get into Sobe? We stop there all the time before we try to go find a parking spot (since they actually have their own lot and most places don’t!).
Haha! You’re too funny. I think we actually hit up the one on Lincoln Avenue… but I know which one you’re talking about! I never check my luggage, so it’s the first thing I have to do upon arrival someplace warm! :)
That dress is so gorgeous; I love it!!! I can’t wait until I can rock something like that without tights, boots, a scarf, a sweater, and a long-sleeved shirt underneath! lol Oh, and let’s not forget the parka! :-P I’m glad you’re having fun in the (warm) sun!
