I want everything embroidered this fall. Everything. I plan to wear this dress for Christmas dinner in St. Martin because the mosquitoes coordinate a flash mob whenever I show up. I’ll be covered in breathable linen and I get my embroidery fix.

Wondrous Floral Embroidered Maxi Dress

 

Being off the radar is a serious understatement to explain what has happened since my last post. I am very theatrical in my reactions so to minimize this, I usually say “nobody died”. Well, some people have died and most of my spring/summer was spent being rather apathetic towards most of the things that make me happy. But then we decided to go back to St. Martin this Christmas and I started to actually feel some of my feels again. There is something about resort styling that warms my cold, dead heart and that of my Mastercard. This is an important trip. My dad is coming so for the first Christmas ever, we don’t have to decide between international families. We’ll all be together. And I hate sand. Sand ruins everything. I’ve been looking for a roundie towel to lounge on/wrap in/cover the sand by my beach chair. There are so many options available with varying degrees of thickness and overall general quality, but based on reviews and price point, I’ve settled on this tasseled roundie. Starting to get a little bit of my spirit back.
