Our Friday Ritual Goes On Vacay

Hey babes — Happy Friday! Today’s look is coming straight from one of my favorite Caribbean escapes: Casa de Campo Resort & Villas. If you haven’t added this place to your travel wish list yet… consider this your sign.

Think sunshine, ocean breezes, and long afternoons that somehow turn into sunset cocktails.

You’ll find me posted up poolside at Playa Minitas Beach Club all afternoon, working on my tan and fully committing to vacation mode. P.S. Don’t forget this month’s PERK from FORKFUL! 50% off chef prepped meals, delivered!

What To Wear This Weekend — Casa de Campo Edition

This weekend I’m in Casa de Campo, one of my favorite places in the Caribbean for a quick escape. Think marina walks, long lunches, and that relaxed resort energy we all need from time to time.

For this trip I packed a set that is effortless but still elevated — the Elissa set from Never Fully Dressed, which is one of those outfits that instantly makes you feel put together.

The Elissa Trousers with Gold Studs are the perfect mix of chic and comfortable. The black fabric with subtle gold studs gives it just the right amount of shine without trying too hard. I paired it with the matching bandeau top, which creates a really clean silhouette and feels very resort-ready.

What I love about a set like this is how versatile it is. You can wear it for a relaxed lunch at the marina, drinks at sunset, or even dress it up for dinner just by adding heels and a statement earring.

For styling I kept it simple:

•    delicate gold jewelry•    loose hair•    neutral sandals•    and a small shoulder bag

Sometimes the best outfits are the ones that feel easy but still polished, and this set definitely does that.If you’re looking for something chic for your next getaway, this one is available at The Fashion Lounge in store and online.
