Island in the Sun

Summer has been busy to say the least. Busy at work. Busy at home. And best of all - busy traveling. This summer I vacationed to two, very different islands: Antigua and Manhattan. Photos of both locations follow, with a little bit of outfit inspiration along the way.

My passport was stamped for the very first time in June, on our trip to Antigua. The hubs and I had a wonderful anniversary vacation, with some breathtaking views. Take me back. Now.

Following up Antigua with Manhattan was like entering a different world. It's not relaxing, or tropical, but I love it so. My friend and I had a whirlwind girls weekend with stops in Washington D.C., and a train ride (our first!) to New York.

Take me to D.C. and where do we end up? "The First Ladies" exhibition. Duh.

I'll be dreaming of my summer vacays as I head into what may be another unfortunate winter. Hopefully my memories will keep me warm.
