What to Wear on Vacation

I looove the swimsuit on the image! Where is it from? xoxo

love the tips! I am always traveling so this will come in handy!

That travel bag si so chic and roomy, you could fit a huge towel and an extra outfit in it and still have have some space left. You could pair it with almost any dress you want and it would look good.

Ah, lovely post :-) Put me in the mood for summer holiday plans! Thanks for the pics :)

As a portuguese girl I totally agree with this outfit! This weekend is perfect here in Lisbon. I went for a running with my boyfriend yesterday with just a top and a summer t-shirt. My mom is right now sun bathing in Algarve and by the photos she’s been sending us, it is lovely and super summery. I think you should came to Portugal with Alex and maybe the boys. I think you would like it. And you have to taste our wine. ;)
PS: You’re new design is beautiful!!

I would so wear these items and definitely feeling the call to explore/travel :). Lovely reading your post, thanks for sharing.

I love your blog, and that beach is beautiful :)
And for those of you who want something more quiet and less crowded, there’s Alentejo

Greetings from Portugal**

Yes! Scottsdale with the family soon. And I could totally wear that outfit and items in the desert. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing

My brother is in Portugal now and his pictures have been really giving me a travel bug to visit. Now I know what to wear when I do!

Joanna, you should definetly come to Portugal. you’ll be more than welcome! I mean, seriously, have you seen how much portuguese readers you have!!?

Just commenting on the drinks: in Portugal, go for the sangria and brazilian inspired caipirinhas!!

(That photo is from Ponta da Piedade, in Lagos (Algarve). You must do the boat ride to see the caves!)

I completely agree about the maxi dress (in fact I just posted a topic about taking a maxi dress on a trip earlier this week)! I also agree with the hat, the sandals, etc. I would also add to the list a beach cover-up/caftan and one that can be worn when you aren’t at the beach as well (for example if you’re going straight to lunch or dinner). xo yael

To Portugal visitors, I recommend Arrábida, Sesimbra and Comporta. Perfect beaches near Lisbon.

hello Joanna! you’ll be very welcome here! Best regards from Portugal :)

I always feel wanderlusty!!! That selection is great (the sandals! The swimsuit!) But I’ll add a jacket. It must be my mum’s voice stuck in my head, but I always think: it’s going to be cold at night, wear a jacket! ;)

What a timely post! I’m going to Portugal (Coimbra) in June to watch my nephews while my brother and sister-in-law are in language school. I’m so excited!

I’ve been looking for a maxi dress for over a year, but I find that most aren’t designed for someone who’s 5’1″. Any ideas?

Hi!

You’re doing the best to spend your vacations here in Portugal!!
I live in Algarve, and we have a wonderful weather and the best natural beauty you can expect!!
If you need something, just let me know!!

we went to portugal on our honeymoon and hung out on beaches that look just like this photo! maybe we were at this very beach! though, it’s tough to say because there are so many in that beautiful country! i have a work trip in switzerland in a month. my husband is meeting me over there and after my work is done we are heading into the french alps and then up to paris. packing is going to be tough. i prefer to pack light, but i have to pack for three weeks that will include: 1. working at the U.N., 2. gallivanting in the alps, and 3. strolling around paris.

We’re staying in Newport beach at the end of the month, and I’ve been bent of shape worry about what to wear! Love this, and packing all of it! Thanks Joanna! I’m excited to try that fabulous lip butter.

Heading to Italy this summer. Thanks a lot for your ideas! I’ll be looking for a low-cost alternatives…

Now, what do I wear if I were going to Portugal and am breast feeding?! I have a 6 month old and we’re vacationing this summer, but i’m still breastfeeding! All my maxi dresses are in reserve for nights out sans bebe. But for the rest of the days… would love a post on that!

Korres lip butter is also awesome for making your lips rosy! Multifunctional items are perfect for traveling!

Loving those sunglasses. I need to get a good pair for this season…and I’m dying for a summery vacation! I’m in pastry school on top of a full-time job straight through September, though, so my eye is on a nice, long vacation upon graduation that will hopefully include visiting good friends in Toulouse and then another friend in Casablanca. :)

A true Dark and Stormy contains only Black Seal rum and ginger beer.. just sayin’ :)

Ooohhhh I love these ideas. I’m going on my first(!) cruise to Alaska this summer and love going over what outfits I’ll wear in my head! P.s. Love the new blog design- it’s brilliant.

YAY! A floppy hat! I’ve been searching for an inexpensive floppy hat for a month, and everywhere has been sold out! Now I have one one its way to me – THANK YOU! Now I’ll have some shade on my face as I lounge on the beach in Cape Cod next month. :-)
