Pineapple Midi Dress - 1st Fairmont Mayakoba Vacation Look





Photography by Hallie Duesenberg


I don't know about you but when I'm on vacation, especially a tropical destination, I love wearing fun vibrant prints!  This bright fun colorful pineapple print dress is so darling and the fit & flare style is flattering on most body types.  The tie shoulders are so nice too...adjust them for the right amount of support!

And how cute are these little pineapple earrings?!  I wore these so much while vacationing at Fairmont Mayakoba in Riviera Maya!  And I love how this bold orchid clutch brought out the pink in the pineapple print!

I wore this dress to an evening dinner but what I love most about it is that you can easily wear this with a pair of thong sandals or wedge sandals for a daytime look!  Throw your hair in a low pony or top knot, put some thong sandals on, and carry a cross body bag and your ready to go!

If you did not catch my review of Fairmont Mayakoba, you can read that HERE.  I am dying to go back, I just loved it so much and can't wait to visit again!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...have a wonderful day!

Women's Work Wear with Nordstrom

*Today's post is in partnership with Nordstrom.

For many years, Nordstrom has been one of my go-to destinations to shop for pieces from some of my absolute favorite brands.  I love shopping for beautiful dresses, denim, shoes, jewelry, handbags, etc. I've always been able to find exactly what I'm looking for and I've really enjoyed discovering new brands through Nordstrom as well.

Although I shop at Nordstrom often, I typically don't think to shop for work wear.  Maybe it's because I get too distracted and end up buying things that I necessarily didn't plan to shop for.  Let's be honest...that happens to me all of the time!  Anyone else?!  I just can't help myself!

More recently I've starting buying work wear pieces from Nordstrom as well...it's now a one stop shop, which makes my life much easier.  And the fact that I can order online, try on at home, and ship back what doesn't fit, for FREE, really makes this busy working Mom so happy (and less stressed too ;-).

Many of you may (or may not know) that I work full time as a VP in HR for a Fortune 500 company and although I work from a home office, I still attend local meetings, which means that I have to get out of my athletic wear and "get dressed" on occasion.  So for me, picking versatile work wear pieces is important to me.  As a career woman, I've learned over the years that you can look polished, professional, and put-together without having to wear a "power suit".  Those days are over for me...pretty sure my power suits have been retired for some time now.

It's totally okay to dress a bit more modern in the workplace now (assuming you keep it professional and classy).  Many companies have taken on a more business casual approach and have even been implementing more casual days as well.

The pieces I picked for today's work wear look with Nordstrom are modern, classic, versatile, and perfect for work to weekend wear.  Adding a great blazer to complete your outfit instantly elevates your look and makes it more business professional...perfect for meetings with clients or a presentation in the boardroom.  The structured fit and length of this chambray skirt also yields a more office appropriate look.  A classic nude sandal with a moderate heel is also a perfect pick for the office. 

Nordstrom is now my go-to destination for work wear as well!  They have such a broad selection of work wear pieces that are perfect for more modern business casual (or business professional) looks.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...hope your week gets off to a great start!
