What I packed for St Lucia....
Here are photos showing some of what I am wearing while here.
Even though I was born and raised in London, my origins are St Lucian and I have been visiting the island since I was a girl.
Like any tropical island, wearing anything loose, light and bright are life savers.
Pic 1: Tribal and snake print shirts and kaftans.
Pic 2 & 3: Lace: dresses (1st one is from here), sheer blouses, crochet + cropped tops.
Pic 4: Denim + cotton shorts
Pic 5: Neon backpack, cloth + leather bags
Pic 6: My jewellery
Monroe Steele & Elmo. Congratulations! Emails have been sent to both.
Similars to what I packed:

We were in St Lucia earlier this year and I still talk about it to anyone that cares to listen. We had a car so we explored so much of the island - though my favourite memory was climbing up Gros Piton - so intense yet exhilarating, especially to the non-hiker like me.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more pictures of your paradise home Karen! Happy holidays!

I have that same exact beaded leather bracelet. I bought it in the 90s and rediscovered it recently. I love it with my denim shirts and gold watch.
ReplyDeleteLove how light, airy and relaxed all of this is! So casual yet adorable, and everything is mix-and-matchable.
ReplyDeleteLove!

Thanks for sharing this! I'm also a native city girl but have spent a good chunk of my life growing up in the caribbean, and your wardrobe is gorgeous in either terrain. I will probably reference this when I go to South Africa in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteHave some fun in the sun, Karen!
NYC is a frigid ice box right now.
