WHAT'S YOUR WINTER VACATION STYLE? PLUS ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

It's winter vacation time! What’s your vacation style? Some people love to ski and do anything snow related, while others want to run away to tropical locales and just lie in the sun. And some people prefer to stay at home and just relax. Which style is your favorite? I know personally, I love to go away to warmer locations, but I also don’t mind staying home and just enjoying local destinations with my family. It all depends on my kids’ schedules and our budget for that year. Regardless of what your vacation style is, you can rest assured that there are great fashion choices for each one! 

The Snow Stylista

The snow stylista loves cold weather sports. She takes her annual ski vacation with her family and gets her toddlers on those skis as soon as they can walk. To remain super stylish while keeping warm, she needs to be organized with her shopping and packing. She loves beautiful outerwear that’s both warm and practical for her entire family. She also needs to remember to layer up with soft sweaters over comfy tee shirts, and accessorize with fabulous gloves, hats and scarves. Oh, and she’ll never forget that spf 50+. It may be cold, but there’s nothing like the sun glistening off the surface of pristine snow. Is the snow stylista you?
Styling tip: Make sure to wear layers for an extra level of warmth and always keep your skin moisturized!









The Savvy Sunlover

Okay this is a woman I can relate to. There’s just something that doesn’t compare with the soothing sound of the waves, the sparkling smell of the sea, and the scorching feel of the sun on her skin. (She never forgets her UVA/UVB sunscreen!) When it’s grey and cold at home, there’s nothing like running away to somewhere tropical and warm. The Savvy Sunlover enjoys packing for her beach vacation because she has a great time picking out the newest (and cutest) bathing suits, cover ups, comfy tee-shirt tops and skirts, cute flip flops and fabulous accessories! 
Styling tip: When shopping for your beach vacation dare to mix and match bold citrusy colors.








The Happy Homebody
(that's me this year!)

The homebody can be any and all of us. Sure it’s great to get away, but honestly, once in while it’s so relaxing to not have to worry about packing and planning. Did you ever google what’s fun to do within 100 miles of your house? There’s a lot of great stuff out there. The happy homebody will let her kids sleep late, relax in pajamas and cozy slipper boots with her coffee until mid-morning, and then get the family in the car mid-day to do something fun and easy. By bedtime everyone’s back in their comfort zone chilling with a quick and easy home-made dinner or take-out picked up on the way home. The homebody will dress in casually chic fashion that’s comfortable, easy, and super stylish. We’re talking denim pencil skirts, t-shirt dresses, cozy scarves and comfy shoes.

Styling tip: There really are no rules here. The beauty of an unplanned vacation allows for a very relaxed, zero-pressure mode of dressing. 

And now you can win THE vacation 'must have' accessory, no matter what your style: The Ibdry cell phone case! (4 winners!!)

  4. I'm such a homebody that my idea of a great vacation is staying home and enjoying doing nothing at all...however, I do love big trips to European cities like Paris and London. No halfway for me. :)

  8. What a great and clever post! Well its funny as each decade comes and go I have been each of those! In my 20's I was defniitely all about the summer vacations, then in my 30s I became obsessed with beautiful ski clothes and my kids got into skiing so we took our annual trip and though I could live without the actual skiing, I LOVE ski towns, ski clothes, getting all cozy by a fire, etc....and at last in my 40's I am wiser and older and see some of the benefits to a staycation, and with building a house we haven't been away these last 2 years like we normally are and I have to admit sometimes I really enjoy the stress free vacations, no packing, airport hassles, etc.....so I am alas a little bit of all 3!

  12. I'm a mix of all of these, mainly because I take my "homebody" attitude with me out of town, especially to the ocean not far from here, no matter what the temperature is. Being there always gives me such serenity and peace. I mostly love that look with the grey skirt - is that Kate Moss??!?!?
