Friday's Fancies: Mexico or Bust

For this week's Friday's Fancies we each picked a place we wanted to travel and then made an outfit around that. It just so happens that on Valentine's Day my boyfriend and I booked a trip to Mexico for our 7 year anniversary the last weekend in April. We have never gone on a long trip like this before and I can't tell you how excited I am. We're staying here:

Pools & gardens

And once I get to the beach I plan on making this my staple outfit:

Friday
coverup // suit // sandals // tote // earrings // hat // towel

I actually already own this cover-up, so I worked around that to find inexpensive accessories to go with it. I like to keep my bathing suits simple- and this coral one with bow accents is perfect for laying out. I am not much of a hat person, but I really want a fedora- I think it looks so cute with a pair of sunglasses and flat sandals like these ones from H&M. I don't like to wear expensive jewelry on the beach so those Kate Spade earrings in a fun orange color are just right.

What is everyone doing this weekend? I plan to hit up Chicago's Restaurant Week & fit a little time in with the boyfriend who's been gone all week.
