Perhaps one of the coolest opportunities that I’ve had with this blog happened last week. I got to partner with my favorite airline, JetBlue, plus another favorite brand, J.Crew Factory, for a tropical getaway! Dying. And what’s even better is that you, too, have the chance to win a JetBlue Getaways Trip for two and a $1,000 J.Crew gift card to help pack your bags.  Pretty much the best kind of vacation set up EVER. Plus, 3 first place winners will $250 J.Crew gift cards. So fun!

While I’ve flown JetBlue plenty of times this was my first time experiencing their JetBlue Getaways program. The whole idea behind the service is to make booking your trip exceptionally fun and easy! You can book everything right on JetBlue’s site, ensuring that you’re getting the best price. I highly recommend you take some time and browse the site and learn more about their destinations. If you’ve ever flown JetBlue then you know that they know how to provide a fantastic experience with the best possible flight for you. Think easy check in process (have you tried their new JetBlue App?), in-flight entertainment options and wifi, and THE BEST airline snacks! So you know you can trust the top rated hotel partners that they’ve already discovered for you!

My friend Gray and I headed to San Juan, Puerto Rico and stayed at the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. It completely exceeded my expectations and was pretty much an instagram paradise. I can’t wait to go back some day!

When we weren’t hanging by one of the pools we spent our time in Old San Juan. It dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries and is full of color and charm. And really nice people. I expected to enjoy our trip but I had no idea how much I would love old San Juan. When I travel I like to keep my schedule pretty open so that I can explore and get tips from locals. I love “restaurant hopping” so that I can try as many local vibes and dishes as possible.

It’s like the year of yellow for me over here! Love this simple cotton off the shoulder top!

It’s cute tucked into a skirt, or out and casual with shorts and pants.

White sneakers are always easy and I’ve been throwing on this pair with dresses, jeans, and shorts alike around town lately. I found a great look for less here and here.

My white denim cutoff shorts are the perfect length and not see through! Cannot recommend these enough.

And my navy crossbody bag is new and has been perfect for throwing on over most any outfit. Love the leather floral cut out and the (removable) tassel.

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know that it takes 800 grapes to make one bottle of wine? I learned this fun fact in a book I just finished called Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave. If anyone is looking for a great read, I highly recommend it. It would make such a great movie, too. But until that happens (fingers crossed), my friends at Chateau Ste. Michelle have asked me to put together a list of my ten favorite chick flicks for a girls night in! Here are a few favorites from my list!

 

Begin Again

Bride Wars

Something Borrowed

The Holiday

Sleeping With Other People

 

Check out the entire list on SheKnows right here! And thank you to Chateau Ste. Michelle for partnering on this post.

I’m back after our amazing trip to San Juan. So much more to come on that, but I can tell you that I unexpectedly fell in love with that city a little bit! What an amazing spot! While I was gone some amazing new arrivals came pouring in – here are a few of my top picks!

blue dress, sandals, gingham top, floral topclutch, navy dress,

red dress, earrings, yellow top, black dress,

black pumps, white top, scallop bikini, tan espadrilles

 

I often get asked which Marysia swim style I like the most and this is it – perfect for curvier girls. And I’m obsessed with that purple floral cold shoulder top. That beautiful yellow top, too. And that navy dress would be perfect for so many summery gatherings!
