Resort Ready

Tuesday


I had to work a bit over the weekend, but I did have temporary relief by a slight diversion of resort hunting, which involved attending appointments at various places and researching loads of other potential locations ― all planned to be a special surprise for my parents later this year.

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?

    It 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!

    Can I just say I love your outfit?  Really love it.  You look amazing in a that Chanel inspired jacket!  The white pants and necklaces are perfect.

  21. 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!
    And 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!

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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.

  23. Those white pants are perfect for vacation! And that photo makes me want the beach right now :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. oh 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! 

    Thanks so much Heather for your lovely comment. The jacket has really grown on me. I love it!

  78. first 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.

    also! you look amazing.
