in my bag // tropical vacation

There are just over 2 weeks before we leave for Hawaii and I could not be more ready. I'm so over winter, and the past couple days have been almost 70 degrees here in Missouri and it's been amazing, but realistically, it's February, and it's sure to get cold again. But this nice weather has inspired me to talk about what's in my bag for my upcoming tropical vacation! Here are some of my essentials:

cocktail hour // miami style

I'm wishing I could rewind to a week ago when I was having cocktails on a rooftop in 75 degree weather! Miami was amazing and I'm very much missing the warmth. It's windy and cold here in Missouri, and I'm definitely over winter. So I tried my best to take advantage of being outside as much as possible in Miami, and this rooftop at our hotel was the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail. Vodka Press - my cocktail of choice!

Tassels are everywhere these days, literally from head toe. It's one of the hottest trends right now, and designers are having a ton of fun with them. They really give a little oomph to any accessory or piece of clothing, and even home décor, like these pillows. Originally I thought they'd be more of a summer thing, but the tassel trend is being carried well into the fall/winter, as shown on this scarf, this sweater dress and these adorable shoes (that need to get into my closet ASAP.) This beach bag and these earrings would be perfect for any upcoming tropical vacations you have planned, and how cool is this tassel USB charger?? A trendy accessory for your purse and a charger all in one!
