Stylin' Mamma: Vicarious Vacation

My sister is going to Hawaii next week.

I am jealous.  

Those who can't travel, shop as if they can.  We did a bit of resort-wear sleuthing to prepare her for the journey: Beachside with Baby is the name of the game.

These linen pants aren't much on the hanger, but they look lovely and drapey on.  With the right pop-of-color sandal they will take her straight from the beach to the tiki bar with nary a backwards glance.  The top is long enough to serve as a bikini cover-up on its own, but also has an elegance in the details that will work all day long.

My little niece will need a practical suit to protect her sweet-soft skin, and both Mommy and daughter will benefit from floppy hats.  

As always, big bag (straw for summer), big necklace (my sis loves the costume jewelry at Banana), and big shades (the aves pay tribute to the '70s vibe of the outfit) add up to big style.
