Bon Voyage! Favorite Travel & Honeymoon Finds

Filed Under Honeymoon, Shop with Lollipop! | 4 Comments

Your vacation is fast approaching and you are already sweating about the prospect of packing. Pulling your suitcase down from the closet, you open it up and wish it would magically fill itself (Mary Poppins style) with the perfect ensembles for your journey ahead. You always seem to overpack with items you don’t need, and then wish you would have brought those nude pumps that you swore you wouldn’t wear, and your jewelry bag is a mess of tangled necklaces and bangles because you brought your entire collection! Meanwhile your boyfriend or hubby is frustrated by the fact that your bag is bulging and you still ‘have nothing to wear and you didn’t know the weather was going to be so unpredictable!’ This year it’s time to simplify, simplify, simplify.

The best way to streamline is to find just two-three necklaces that can be layered and mixed and match with each outfit. Next, find a few dresses that won’t wrinkle, pack easily and can be worn in both warm and cold weather layered with a jacket. The frock above is perfect with a hooded addition! Don’t forget your mini travel journal that also functions as a clutch, and lastly sling on  a simple canvas tote bag that will hold your passport and all your goodies, but with a fun chain accent to add a bit of edge.

1. Sail Away Necklace; $30.00

2. Everyday Treasures Notebook; $28.00

3. Till We Meet Again Frock; $235.00

4. Chain Canvas Tote; $75.00

You have just planned the wedding of your dreams for the past year, celebrated amongst family and friends, exchanged vows, tossed your bouquet and have finally ‘bid adieu’ to your guests. Now is the time to really celebrate love and life with your ‘honey’ by taking an intimate trip for two to reflect on the big ‘i do.’ Whether your journey will take you to the sunny shores of Costa Rica, a safari in Africa, or a cozy cabin in the mountains you need to be just as prepared as you were for your wedding day. Today we are inspired by travels, journeys and reflecting on life together after the wedding. Honeymoon here we come!
