Is there anything better than a quick escape from winter to a warm island? I know for a lot of people, a vacation to a warm destination is the only thing that helps them get through the long winter months.

If you've got a winter vacation planned, this newsletter is for you! If you're rolling your eyes right now wishing you had a trip planned, don't worry, this catalog still has something in it for you too (add wink emoji here).

This time in between the Holiday and Spring collections is called resort in the fashion world. It is a small collection of vacation ready pieces that retailers release in advance of the full Spring collections. Resort fashion is all about effortless elegance with versatile pieces that seamlessly transition from day to night. Think lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton that keep you cool while still feeling luxe. Key staples are flowy dresses, tailored shorts and chic cover-ups. Accessories play a crucial role with wide brimmed hats, statement sunglasses and sleek sandals adding the perfect finishing touch!

I've always been against overpacking for a trip. There is something freeing of being limited to what is in your suitcase and making do with what you have. If you're headed off on a winter vacation soon, I encourage you to try all your outfits on before you go and only bring the essentials. Pack neutral shoes as they take up the most space and you can wear one to two pairs with all of your looks.

When shopping this catalog, keep in mind your lifestyle at home. It's fun to pick up a new vacation ready piece, but to then also be able to wear the piece this upcoming Spring or Summer season is even better (and practical). If you're headed on a trip, safe travels! For those of you shopping the catalog, trip or no trip, happy shopping!
