A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear

Cabana life resort wear year recap

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you headed on Vacation? Sharing today A Year of Cabana Life Resort Wear. Resort wear with Cabana life SPF 50 clothing for the whole family, perfect if you’re headed somewhere warm🌴✨ In 2023, I know I have planned a couple of vacations. If you follow me, you know I love to travel and am always looking for an adventure.

I am sharing a year recap of Vacation resort wear🌴🌸 The piece I love traveled so well, looked great, and you could wear it from the pool to lunch or shopping! I was lucky to have traveled a ton in 2022 from Florida, California, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada, Seattle, and several weekend getaways. Cabana Life clothing came with me on every trip.

Protection from the sun without having to apply harmful sunscreens is essential, as I have dealt with skin cancer. 

I love that most of the pieces can be transitioned to other seasons and dressed up or down! Check out my Travel recaps for more on every 2022 travel destination. Not only do I share how I styled each piece and what I loved about it for that trip, I give you some great travel tips and must-visit places to eat and see.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

 Tomorrow, I have a “Fashion Fix” segment on ABC “s What to wear for Apres Ski.

( Stream live from anywhere  HERE. )

I thought it would be fun to share some Winter apparel to wear for Apres ski or items you can take on your next ski trip. So I shopped at local places to pick up things I thought were unusual and pieces you could wear all Winter long, whether you ski or not.

What to wear for Apres Ski

Winter Apparel 

Living in Utah, you need several good winter pieces to keep you warm, but let’s face it, if you like me, you want to look cute too…this is where Apres Ski comes in….

For Apres ski, you don’t have to be a skier. Whether you’re heading to the lodge for a yummy drink or a delicious meal, you could look like it. Because let me tell you, many ski areas have fantastic food.

Or if you’re Heading out to shop in a mountain town. For example, park City, Ut, Big Bear lake, Ca, Sun Valley, ID, or Aspen, Co. These looks will fit you right in.

Assorted Beanies,  especially fur Pom poms, make a great accessory and Mittens. Being warm and cozy also is a must for cozying up by the fire with a warm drink.

Styling: The 3rd piece rule

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re halfway through October? My favorite month flies by the way too fast.

Today, I am sharing a rapid read… I am sharing about the 3rd piece rule in styling. Have you heard about this Rule? I shared it a couple of times on Instagram Here.

Styling: The 3rd piece rule

Shop the Outfits below: (tap the photo)

 

What is 3rd piece rule?

This Rule (which, in fashion, there aren’t rules) it’s a great tip that works for dressing up or changing the look of any outfit just by changing the 3rd piece.

How does this styling rule/tip work?

I am here if you wear faux leather crop pants and a denim shirt. Although cute on its own, When you add the 3rd piece, aka the jacket or the plaid shacket, it gives your outfit a completely different look just by changing the 3rd piece. 

Creating different looks:

You could change out just the jacket over and over on this basic outfit and achieve so many different looks. 

This Rule is a great tip that works for traveling as well to stretch your wardrobe without taking as many pieces.

More styling Inspiration: Wearing the Faux leather Crop pant.

Way To Style Cabana Life For Fall

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well and you enjoy the last bit of summer. Our weather hasn’t quite hit the fall temperatures, but it’s coming faster than some want. I love summer, but I adore Fall. The cooler mornings and evenings, the smell of the air, and the changing of the leaves are just a few things I am looking forward to. Today, I want to share Cabana life’s spf50 eyelet dress styled a little western for Fall. 

Cabana Life clothing doesn’t have to be resort wear or summer clothing. You can easily give their pieces a new look by adding different accessories or laying them up. Here I said western boots, a big Fall trend, and a cowboy hat. On a chilly day, you could add a denim jacket. This look would be darling for a music festival, country concert, country fair, the rodeo, or like I am wearing it on vacation to Jackson hole, Wy.

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
