Vacation Pics


You may have seen on my instagram feed that last week I was in Naples, FL. We went with 30 of my family members and had the best time. My grandparents have a place there so I've grown up vacationing in Naples. It's such a wonderful town, one of my very favorites. Since there were so many of us on this trip most of us stayed at the Ritz Carlton. It was fabulous.

These trips are so precious to me since I live pretty far from my family. We spent most of our time at the pool and beach (and used A LOT of my favorite sunscreen - after a week in the sun none of us had a burn!). Here are a few random pictures from our week. This first one sums it up, we were such happy clams.


 Modeling my Marysia Swim Lanai Dress. On my tippy toes, of course.


Lilly and me watching the sunset.

This is the pool at my Granny and Papa's. Pretty incredible, isn't it?

Speaking of, here's my beautiful granny.


Random, but that Foley & Corinna bag was the only bag I took with me to FL. It's the most perfect bag that can also swing over your shoulder and goes with everything. I've had it for years.

Here are my sis-n-law, Kim, and cousin-n-law, Kelsey...

(Loving Kim's skirt and Kelsey's Tarana Maxi Dress. My dress sold out but this is similar.)

Of course I snuck in some shopping. How cute are these Rag & Bone bike shorts?

Below spy Lilly pouting on her last day, but still looking cute in her Marysia Swim Bumby swimsuit that her Auntie Marysia over-nighted to the Ritz just for her (that Lilly has connections already). This is a sample, but production is happening and Bumby pre-orders will be happening soon. More on that next week.


She also got to make her very first tie dye tee. It's being mailed to us or I would show you how it turned out.

It was a pretty amazing time. I know we live in an amazing city and have the beach right here, too, but it's so nice to get away and have a full week of nothing to do but play. Vacations are good for the soul.

Good for the soul, indeed! Isn't it amazing how much smoother life goes when you don't have all the day-to-day grind to get to??? Those kiddos of yours are just too cute, as are you, natch. That Marysia Dress is absolutely gorgeous, that *color*!!!

I know you had a great time! I was born and raised in Naples and I absolutely miss it like crazy. Good thing, I only live a few hours away now! And the Ritz is our favorite place to stay when we go back to visit.

Oh Chassity you are so lucky! My brother just bought a house there two years ago and we also visit him but as I'm in Portugal it takes me about 2 planes (9 hours) plus a 3 hour drive to get there! Just love the beach and that 5th av. stores (old naples). I allways ruin my credit card at the Tommy Bahamma store! I'm also dreaming of buying a summer house in Naples someday...sigh... I was just looking at the Edgewater Hotel by the sea the other day. Do you know the place? Would you recomend it? You allways have such a nice happy smile on all your pictures and what an adorable family!

What a gorgeous week, and family! We spent the day in Naples on our way back from Sanibel a few years ago, and loved it.

And hold the phone...that pool is your grandmother's house?!?
