GLAM Travels: Aruba

After a long, gorgeous week in Aruba, it’s back to the Connecticut cold!  Raj and I traveled with some of our college friends and rented a house in Palm Beach, Aruba for some fun in much needed warmer weather.  We had a blast and Aruba is now officially one of my favorite islands in the Caribbean.  Here are some of my favorite moments…

{My favorite travel outfit: jeans, comfy boots and lots of layers}

{First day outfit for exploring the island. You can get this exact poncho from Tobi and the rest of the items below}

{Eagle Beach was probably the softest sand I’ve ever felt… hands down, my favorite beach of the trip}

{Some snapshots from our first two days including a beautiful view from our balcony and a few too many “Aruba-Riba” drinks}

{I packed light for this trip and carried on my luggage… so these One Teaspoon shorts were basically a part of every outfit. You can get the exact kimono I’m wearing here}

{This floral romper was a great day-to-night piece}

{The backdrops in Aruba are just unreal… I love this photo of the Pelican Pier against the gorgeous turquoise water.  Hightlight of the trip?  Renting our own jeeps and exploring the entire island over a 10-hour day}

{Vava by Joy Han is my absolute favorite designer to bring with me on any tropical vacation. This exact dress is sold out but there’s a very similar version below. I love the versatility of all of her pieces… you can wear them as beach cover ups right into nighttime}

{Some more snapshots that never made it to Instagram over the week… the best sunset of the week was at Baby Beach at the southeast part of the island}

{My favorite outfit of the week in yet again, another Vava by Joy Han dress… see, I told you I love her pieces}

{Another must-do recommendation of mine is the Jolly Pirate cruise where we spent the afternoon snorkeling, dancing on the boat and rope swinging into the water}

{For a more casual night out, I loved this boho tunic paired with my favorite jean shorts and gold lace-up sandals. You can shop the exact tunic here}

{My last outfit of the trip, a breezy maxi dress and leather flat sandals}
