My Vacation Essentials

Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring todays post! All opinions are my own.

Hi friends! It’s been a while since I’ve been on here + chatted with you. I promise I’m going to do better about getting on here and updating you on a day to day basis. I have so many ideas to share with you lately and since we are about one year out from our wedding (and we picked an official date!!!), I’ll be updating the Wedding Wednesday posts more!

I am headed on vacation next Friday so I’ve been shopping around for some vacation must-haves that I’ll be bringing with me. I’m going to the island that we’ve been going to since I was a little girl so it’ll be a week full of beach time and relaxing! We always do a nice dinner while we’re there so I love grabbing either maxi dresses or midi dresses to bring along with me. I love to check out Nordstrom’s New Arrivals since they carry everything from dresses to shoes and accessories! Basically I can grab my entire outfit head to toe at my fave retailer and that’s a win in my book.

Y’all already know that I am a huge fan of stripes so when I spotted this Free People dress… I fell in love. The colors in this are so pretty and I think are perfect for the beach! I paired it with a blush and white straw hat (also perfect for the beach!) and some neutral accessories. I’m wearing a size small in this dress so I’d say either get your true size or go down one. I typically like doing medium in dresses for a bit of room but this one was waaay too big on me in the medium (I even considered doing an XS!).

Had to share these heart earrings that I found because… one) rainbow and two) HEARTS! They are under $40 and seriously so cute for the summer! I also linked a few other alternatives if hearts aren’t your thing because they have the best colorful and bright options.

These neutral platforms sandals have been on repeat lately… they are THAT good. I went with my true size (7) in these and they fit perfectly. They do run narrow but y’all, they feel like you’re walking on clouds. SO darn good! I definitely can walk all day in these and be happy.
