Puerto Rico: What to Pack

I was happy to oblige when Jewel from Eat Drink Shop Love asked me if I wanted to guest blog in time for her vacation to Puerto Rico! For what better way to showcase the exotic destination than with a "What to Pack" post?

I've never been to Puerto Rico, so my first thought of it was straw hats and cigars! Browns and creams with bright accessories was the inspiration behind this selection of items.

Also, I think bringing a scented candle along with you is a must on any vacation, it just adds a personal touch to your room.

Vogue did a couple of amazing photo shoot videos from Puerto Rico featuring the beautiful Joan Smalls, (one video also features the talented and cute Bruno Mars!), so take a look and travel away with Jewel to Puerto Rico this week!

What are your must-haves for a beach vacay?

Disney World: What to Pack

I definitely pack a straw fedora whenever I can. It's perfectly suited for any summer vacation and goes well with anything from shorts to dresses. Speaking of shorts, these are coming with me!

Other vacation staples for me? Bright colours and comfy shoes. And, if you're looking for good vacation shoes, be sure to check out Clare's post. I also recommend these.

I'm off to Disney World but you can follow me via Instagram (hoggerandco) or Twitter, as I'll be using both while I'm there!

Mediterranean Vacation

I just discovered the Design Elements blog which is chock-full of  exotic locations and spectacular designs and has me yearning to go away on vacation...to the Mediterranean sea!!

To be laying about in the sun...on that veranda. Sigh.

Are any of you headed off on vacation this summer?
