I can’t believe our vacation has finally arrived.  I feel like we booked this trip so long ago. I am so excited for so many reasons but mainly because it will be the first real adult only vacation Matt and I have taken since our honeymoon 8 years ago.  We went to St Thomas and St John then and absolutely loved the Virgin Islands, so I can’t wait to explore St. Maarten.  I welcome any restaurant or island recs if you have traveled there.

I am thrilled that one of my oldest and best friends and her husband will be joining us as well.  Since we had our kids we only see each other maybe once a year.  It will be such a treat to relax together and catch up.  Plus all 4 of us get along so well, we always have a blast together.

I will be taking the week off from my blog but I will post a few snippets on instagram (@snoopnattynat) so follow along there and I will be back in a week with a fun recap!

I did a little last minute shopping this week and found the cutest Maxi Dress at Loft.  I have to admit my luck at Loft is hit or miss sometimes.   Their clothes don’t fit my body that well, but this dress was a perfect fit.  The colors are just stunning.  It runs on the large side, I am wearing a size 2 so order down a size.  If you sign up with your email you can take 25% off your order.

I figure most of our vacation we will be in cover-ups and bathing suits lounging at the beach or pool.   But of course we will get slightly dressed up for a few dinners out.

I also packed a few workout clothes in case we hike or walk the island, that are not pictured.

Here is what I am packing as of last night, although I am sure I will add in a few more things before tomorrow.  I am notorious for over packing- I like to have options while I am away:)

Can’t forget some fun accessories!! 

If you are local my friend Jenny from Theodosia made the first two necklaces.  They are a Summer Favorite of mine, I toss them on with everything!  You can call and order if you live out of town as well. The third necklace is from LOFT and a total steal.
