Vacation Resort Wear with Amazon

February 25, 2020 Style, Travel, Uncategorized 3 Comments

The sun is starting to shine in sunny California & spring break is just weeks away! So, it’s time for a vacation resort wear tryon to amp up your vacation style!

*This post is not sponsored in any way and all thoughts and opinion are my own. My post does contain affiliate links which do not cost you more to use. Thank you for using them as it allows me to continue to share what I love.

If you recall from last year, Amazon sold out of spring/summer pieces quickly, so this is a great time to shop for spring and summer. This way you know you can get what you want before it’s sold out.

Everything I am sharing are winners, of course! I never share pieces that are fails, which there a lot of, trust me on this!

If you are heading to a beach vacation, make sure to check out my Beach Vacation Essentials blog post.

For reference: I am 5’1″ and 106lbs. I am wearing the smallest size available in all clothing and a size 7 in shoes.

The Looks

Coverup

This coverup and these pool shoes are a must! The coverup comes in a ton colors & pattern. The bottom portion is sheer and beautiful! These shoes are perfect for the pool or beach and come in a ton of colors. Both run tts

Cover up | slides

Coverup with Two Piece

This kimono is perfect for spring and summer with shorts or as a cover up. The fringe detail and crochet back is beautiful! This high-waisted two-piece swimsuit sold out so fast last year and I was so happy that it came back in stock for this summer! It’s so cute with the pom-pom details.

Kimono | Swimsuit

Romper

This romper is so darn cute and perfect for summer and vacation. It comes in several color options and solids. It runs on the smaller side so size up one.

One-piece swimsuit/bodysuit + wrap skirt

I LOVE it so much that I had to share again and this time I found the cutest wrap to wear with it and it’s swimsuit material – you can wear right into the water – great for those days when you want extra coverage. It comes in a several different patterns and solids.

I wasn’t lying when I said I love this one-piece! I love it so much that I bought it in white! It’s so cute as a bodysuit. Here it is with the same wrap skirt in a different pattern. This one is perfect if you are heading to a tropical location or you are going to a luau bbq this summer.

Casual everyday spring/summer/vacation outfit

Here’s that same swimsuit and kimono with a super cute hat, which comes a gazillion colors, that is adjustable and perfect for shielding your face from then sun!

I paired it with my favorite bag that I used all last summer and these cute espadrille wedges that are only $25! They come in a ton of colors.

The one and only item in this try on haul that is not from Amazon is are my shorts. The are from Target and they are so good!

This last piece is a light-weight easy dress that has pockets! It’s perfect for summer all day, everyday or as a coverup.

Best Self-tanner

If you are heading on beachy vacation you need a tan fast! This is my tried and true, holy grail self tanner! And, this one is so easy to use and gives you the best color (not orange). So, I linked up my favorite application mitt and it’s only $7.99.

Best Face Sunscreen

Finally, you NEED sunscreen! And, this is by far the best that I have ever tried based on so many factors:

Price
feel/texture/smell
SPF
how it wears under makeup
not greasy/oily

It’s the best!

Baked French Toast with Berries

December 4, 2019 Food & Drink 4 Comments

I have been making this delicious and easy make-ahead baked French toast with berries for years! My kids love it! We all do! Everyone who eats it loves it and wants the recipe, so I just had share to share it with all of you!

This recipe is perfect for Christmas morning when you want to hang out and play with your kids, because most of the prep takes place the night before! Easy peasy! I always serve this with my quiche (recipe coming soon!) ~ they compliment each other so well!

This is also a great dish to take for a pot luck breakfast or brunch. It’s always a hit when I take this French Toast Bake to my women’s Bible study group.

Suggested ingredients & tools:

I always use this vanilla – no exceptions! It makes the biggest difference in the taste of your baked goods. It’s simply the best, worth every penny!

I also use this baking spray. It has zero trans-fat and does not leave residue on your pans. Clean up is a breeze!

A pastry cutter will make your life so much easier and save a ton of time! This one on Amazon has amazing reviews has free shipping and returns.

I always use a non-stick baking pan with a lid, so I can transport my dish easily if needed. This one is under $9 Amazon Prime with amazing reviews.

I hope you love it as much as we do!
