Vacation Style: Part 1

I got back from my long awaited vacation about a week ago, so this is going to be a late post. I went away to Dahilayan Adventure Park, about 6-7 hours from where I live, for a couple of days for a much needed retreat. It's amazing how two days of break from the everyday cycle of life and work can make such a difference. I went back feeling rejuvenated albeit slightly tired from the travel. But still, it was everything we planned it to be... only so much better!

Since we were going somewhere over 4,000 feet above sea level, I expect to enjoy some cold weather. Hence, I went on a shopping hunt for a sweater top I can wear. Ordering online was not an option because the shipping could take several weeks and I knew that it wouldn't make it in time for my vacation. My search came to an end at Terranova. I found this teal sweater and at a sale at that! The shorts is from A&F while my shoes is the trusty Converse.

During the night, the temperature continued to drop. I decided to add in my scarf to add some more warmth, although I made the sorry mistake of taking off my shoes for some sandals. Still, we had a lovely dinner (even though I badly did not want to get up from my bed) and I even managed to go outside for a few minutes (two minutes, at max) for some photos.

My Favorite Accessories

I used to be intimidated by statement accessories. But now that I have stepped out of my fashion comfort zone, I have come to embrace them and what they can do to enhance an outfit. Hence, today, I am showcasing some of my favorite ways to accessorize a look.

Since I live in a tropical country, the days are excruciatingly hot (yes, even though it's not summer!). To go out with sunglasses is almost a sin. Thankfully, I can add a new one to my sunnies collection when Specspost reached out to me to do a review. But this company is more than just your average sunglasses company. They offer custom-made lenses according to your prescription. They also offer a wide range of frames to fit your lens into; in fact, you can wear sunglasses and have prescription lenses in them. How cool is that? 

Julie of Specspost suggested I try out their petite line (yes, there is an option for all sizes an styles). I got this petite wayfarer style prescription sunglasses valued at £28.50. I am impressed with the quality of the frame and the fact that their sunglasses can also double as prescription glasses (great for when you like spending time outdoors and tired of switching between your eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Aside from my sunglasses, I also never go out of the house without a watch on my wrist. This beautiful chain wrap watch from La Mer is a nice way to add more accents to your look. I love the bold orange color to give more pops of color to my outfit. 

The watch was definitely a great compliment to my new leopard shorts I bought from Choies. This is one of my favorite shorts... ever. The material is highly comfortable. It also comes with an excellent fit. I've been buying lots of shorts that I can bring to an upcoming vacation and I think I found one that will notably be on my packing list. 

What about you? What is your favorite way to accessorize a look?

Wedding dress styles continue to evolve such that there is an endless array of choices for brides-to-be! Sheath wedding dresses or column style dresses have emerged as one of the top trends for 2014.
