Honeymoon Style

Lately, my mind has wandered from the wedding to the honeymoon. With all the new summer clothes coming out in stores (and on fashion blogs!) I keep bookmarking awesome outfits to keep in mind for nights in Hawaii.


I'll start with the obvious, which would be a collection of brightly colored bikinis for the beach. I have a personal rule to never spend more thant $20 on the whole swimsuit, so I get a lot of these in Old Navy sales and at Forever 21.

I'm going to pack my favorite coverup, which I scored for only $9 in Macy's last year. This picture may not do it justice but I think it's so glam:

I just bought a hot pink blazer in H&M and I am so excited to try out these looks, since I already have a white dress and white capris:

I saw this awesome outfit on Atlantic Pacific,

which reminded me that I own some very similar items:

Love this daytime casual outfit with shorts, though you can bet I'd skip the hat:

Not to mention these super cute jellys I got for the beach:

So there's my start to honeymoon packing! Anyone else get weirdly excited to plan outfits for trips??

We Have a Honeymoon!!

And it is beautiful Hawaii!

We plan to spend 10 days on the islands of Maui and Kauai. Neither of us has ever been, and we're looking forward to this:

We have absolutely nothing planned for the trip at the moment. We figure we'll hit up the road to Hana, and take in that early morning sunset hike that everyone suggests, and enjoy lots of amazing seafood, but other than that, I think we're winging it and relaxing. I can't wait!

Have you been to Hawaii? Anything we should make sure we do?

Vacation Recap

I apologize for my weeklong lack of posting; I went on vacation last week and forgot to set up my scheduled posts!

But I'm back now, with a recap of our trip, since I think it would make a great honeymoon destination! (Definitely got me, a very nervous traveler, super pumped for our honeymoon).

Mr. B and I went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with 9 of our friends. After such a hectic summer, the vacation was EXACTLY what we needed: sun, sand, friends, and free mojitos.

We spent our days lounging by the hotel's amazing infinity pool:

And took a boat ride over to the swimmable Lover's Beach (rip tides make much of the water around Cabo too dangerous to go in, as we learned the hard way during a water taxi fiasco):

We had an amazing dinner at the Mona Lisa restaurant, which is built into a cliff overlooking the ocean. It was especially awesome that we got there in time for sunset!

And we hit up some bars in town, including Cabo Wabo and Squid Roe, the big tourist spots: 

We stayed at the Riu Santa Fe, which was beautiful, clean, and very inexpensive (just under a grand for 5 days all inclusive, plus airfare and daily restocking of the Dos Equis in our minibar. The Santa Fe is the slighter lower end Riu resort, and I would recommend it if you are on a budget. If you can spend a little more, it might be worth it to find a place with better food- while I loved the resort, the food was just awful (granted I am a food snob, but even my vulture guy friends barely touched it).

Anyone thinking about Cabo for a honeymoon?
