It will be for their wedding anniversary, hence extensive planning is required because my siblings and I all reside in such vastly diverse locations. All I can say at the moment is thank goodness for Skype and similarly related programmes that help tremendously for such occasions as these.
Who doesn't love a beautiful resort? Selecting the proper type of resort for them is essential, however all of this talk of resorts influenced me to finally bring out my white trousers. So, I decided to fully enjoy my brunch and do business in a different resort style: comfortable, yet slightly structured, and sophisticated, but with a very simple colour palette.

Have you ever given a gift to a family member that required a substantial amount of planning?

ReplyDeleteLOVE your jacket.
Aw wow, you look like you stepped off the Chanel Resort/Cruise wear collection. Stunning and sophisticated look dear!
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is so chic! And I did a big surprise party -- that took a lot of planning!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! The jacket is fabulous. Good luck with all the planning. I know how hard that is! xoxo

Hey gorgeous, you look so crisp & fantastic in this! I absolutely love your blazer. The print is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you guys are putting together an amazing present for your parents - that's so awesome! And so is this outfit - you look so lux and sophisticated! Makes me wish I could wear white (it's been an unmitigated disaster of me spilling on myself every time I try).

Whenever I try to organize an event it goes all crazy and certain family members leaves town, it seems just to irritate me, but I try to stay happy and calm anyway. But it sounds like you've gotten everything under control!

love that jacket
ReplyDeleteWow looking very chic. The jacket is gorgeous <3

Actually the most planning and searching I've done has been for my own vacations :P (especially when I visited New York). Never been in a resort though...would love to, one day...they look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way I love your resort look too! It is very chic! I've never worn white trousers to be honest, only white shorts!
Loving your look! Those pants are so chic! I recently took my my mom to Hawaii for her birthday. The initial research was okay, however, planning a "to do" list was the most strenuous part of the process.
ReplyDeleteThose white pants are perfect for vacation! And that photo makes me want the beach right now :)

I am beyond obsessed with your jacket - the aesthetic is pure perfection! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie,I cannot believe that it took me so long to wear it! :) I hope you're having a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! Yes, it is strenuous work, especially since they are a bit picky. haha. -That Hawaii trip sounds like it was a great gift. xo
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you.
ReplyDeleteoh haha! Yes, it is a bit overwhelming at times because we are all in different places, however also good b/c we're all good at project management, which in the end becomes quite crazy for deciding one perfect place we agree on. lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Heather for your lovely comment. The jacket has really grown on me. I love it!
I'm sure they will ... they deserve it! Ciao my friend! -xxoo
ReplyDeleteThanks Courtney so glad that you liked it too! Yes, wearing white is a risky business. I don't do it often, but I do love how it looks. -xo
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! it's a small team effort, but yes it has been a bit of work, all worth it in the end though! -xx Happy Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLove these white trousers on you. They look stunning.

ReplyDeleteyes I do. when my dad turned 60, me and my siblings gave him a surprise birthday party. we planned everything, food, guest, entertainment to name a few. we had three months preparation for a one day event! planning was kinda stressfull but it was worth it and fun. my dad was so happy! :-)

Yes, I hope they love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis! :)

ReplyDeletefirst of all switch to face time, lol. secondly YES i know all about planning. i planned a 60th birthday for my mamacita 2 years ago and it took really all learned skills in project management and diplomacy to accomplish that; but it was the best thing i've done ever annnd i planned a surprise getaway for my dad's 60th just last year which was awesome. it will be so worth it, friend.
ReplyDeletealso! you look amazing.
This is how to do summer white! Beautiful and so very classy.
