What I Wore on my Beach Vacation

It is SO hard for me to pack for vacation—I want to have lots of options but never have enough room to truly bring everything I want to, plus there’s so many fun things to do, AND I want to look cute and feel comfy while doing them.

So, here are the outfits I wore while on vacation in Cape Cod. I felt really good in them all and comfy too! A win-win.

The days were warm and the nights were cool (along with the wind along the ocean!) so I have a good variety of outfits here—from swimsuits, to dinner outfits, to shopping and everything in between.

What I Wore on our Summer Anniversary Trip to Montreal, Quebec

It was our first time visiting the city of Montreal and we’ll definitely be back (especially since it’s only 2 hours away from where we live!).
