Polka Dotted Cruise

Today my boss returned from her twelve-day-long Mediterranean cruise and Europe trip-- we caught up over some apricot and peanut Turkish delights that she had brought back and reminisced about our cruises ship experiences (she also got me the most adorable souvenirs). Talking about my trip made me desperately wish I was on vacation in an exotic place once more. Luckily for me, I will be visiting China and my homeland of Singapore, which is a tropical island, in less than a month; it will hopefully be a blessed five weeks of relaxation and reconnecting with my roots.



I also realized that I better post all of my Caribbean cruise material before I start on my next vacation or it will never end! On this particular day, we had docked at our third and second last port at Key West, Florida. We started off our day as usual with a large buffet breakfast and subsequently went ashore to explore the small town. Beforehand, I made my boyfriend take these photos of my "tourist" outfit-- a good combination of comfort and cute style. I love these J. Crew polka dotted linen shorts as they can be easily dressed up or down. Also, I could not do without my handy crossbody bag and straw hat; both items were essential for an enjoyable tourist experience of this particular port.

 I thought you might enjoy this photo above of me trying to keep the hair out of my face in the strong headwind that we faced at the front of the ship. I was clearly unsuccessful. What would you recommend wearing for a long day being a tourist in an exciting new place?
