What To Where This Weekend: Vieques Edition

💋 Hey babes — Happy Friday!

Vieques has such a special little corner of my heart.

You already know I’m a horse girl, so an island where wild horses casually roam around like they own the place? Basically my love language in island form.

It’s also where I got engaged, on one of my favorite beaches on the planet, Pata Prieta. So yes, I am fully emotionally attached.

My family also renovated a Spanish-style farmhouse here as an investment, but honestly, it became so much more than that. Hacienda Victoria turned into a true passion project, full of history, character, and that slow Vieques magic you only understand once you’re there.

So this week, Vieques felt like the perfect backdrop for my regular WWW newsletter.

Cheers & martinis!

☀️🌴WWW: Wild Horses, Beach Looks & A Farmhouse Moment

Beach days don’t always call for a bikini and a cover-up you only wear for five minutes. I love finding pieces that can do a little bit of everything, especially when I’m spending the day by the pool, grabbing lunch, or exploring the island.

🖤 What I’m wearing

This look is exactly that.

I’m wearing a red one-piece swimsuit with a sheer wrap skirt from Never Fully Dressed. The skirt actually comes with a slip, but I love styling it without one as a chic swim cover-up.

Add my favorite hat for extra sun protection and, of course, lots of SPF, and I’m ready for the day.

✨ Why it works

✨ A one-piece swimsuit doubles as a bodysuit, making it one of the most versatile pieces you can pack.

✨ The sheer wrap skirt instantly elevates the look while still feeling effortless and beachy.

✨ I love that the skirt can be worn with the slip for dinner or without it as a cover-up. It’s one of those pieces you’ll wear over and over in completely different ways.

✨ A hat not only completes the outfit but also protects your face from the Caribbean sun.

✨ And SPF is the accessory I never skip. Looking after your skin is always worth it.

💋 Style tip

When you’re packing for a beach weekend, think versatility instead of quantity. Choose pieces that can do double duty—a swimsuit that works as a top, a skirt that becomes a cover-up, and accessories you’ll wear every day. Your suitcase will be lighter, and you’ll have so many more outfit options.

Happy weekend! 🤍

I’d love to know—what are you wearing this weekend?

🤍 Cheers & martinis,
