It’s Island Time!

03/03/17 | Fashion and Style, Fashion Friday, Florida, Free People, Naples, Shopbop, United States

Beach Day in the Free People Pineapple Dress

It’s Fri-yay and it is undoubtably going to be the best one of 2017 thus far.  Today I am leaving, on a jet plane, headed somewhere super tropical.  Hopefully in 24 hours I will have my toes in the sand and will be unwinding for a week of R&R with my family along with some exquisite wildlife as we will be heading to the Galápagos Islands off of the coast of Ecuador. 

You actually may have seen a photo of this Free People Pineapple Dress two months ago on Insta because the day we took these photos I was too excited not to share it but here it is again in all it’s glory for both Fashion Friday and into a glimpse into what my life will look like for the next week.  The one change to most of my adventures is that it is unlikely that I will have much Internet access, if any at all, so I hope you enjoy this post and the other recent ones on Sparkles and Shoes until I am able to update you next!

And the photo you have already seen but what might already be one  of my favorites for this year (and I hear Mr. J from Project Runway yelling “twirl, girl, twirl” every time I see it!

I will see what I can do in terms of posting on social media while away but from the reviews I have read it is going to be very hard!  Make sure you are following along on Instagram and Snapchat (kellydonlin) for some shots of giant turtles and blue footed boobies and I will see what I an do! See you on the other side hopefully a bit less stressed and a lot tanner!

    Have a great vacation. I love your tropical dress. Hope you packed a lot of bikinis, flip flops and cover up tropical dresses because that will be the uniform for the next week. My last tropical vacation to the US Virgin Islands I practically lived in bikinis, flip-flops, cover up dresses for night and high heels for dinner. Jeans/Shorts/Dresses were day in town away from beach or workout wear for morning. Gotta have Fashion Friday at least from there if possible.
