Travel Bag: Honeymoon in {St. Lucia}

Thursday, May 17, 2012

 I thought I would share some photos from our honeymoon on the beautiful island of St. Lucia.

Here's also a few packing tips for a week at a sunny resort.
When packing footwear, it's easy to throw in a pair of shoes to match each outfit, but taking one pair of pumps, and one dressy sandal is the easiest way to save room in your luggage!

If you're travelling by plane, the temperature can change drastically from place to place.
We left at 6am the morning after our wedding, and the temperature was -1 (celsius) in Toronto, and when we arrived at the airport in St. Lucia, it was mid-day and blistering hot! I packed a pair of shorts in my carry-on so that I could change while waiting in the airport, and had a light blouse that could keep me warm on the plane, but still cool enough when we arrived at our destination.

Dress: Forever 21 | Sandals: The Shoe Company

No matter the occasion, black is the easiest color to work with and can go with just about anything. I bought this plain black tank as a last minute purchase for the honeymoon, and it ended up being my go-to piece. It was so comfortable to throw on with a casual pair of shorts, or in the evening after a long day in the sun.

A Reflection

Monday, May 14, 2012

I have been married for 2 weeks already, and it's been amazing.
There are things we expect, and of course the unexpected, and some little surprises that have made me smile. I just wanted to share some reflections of these past 2 weeks with you, because I know it's only the beginning of more wonderful unexpected little surprises.

Of course with being a newlywed comes with many firsts, which we are slowly discovering...

On our first trip together as husband and wife, the honeymoon, I quickly learned that my hubby is the "protector of our travel documents". I was not allowed to hold onto my own passport since I tend to lose things at the most inopportune times. It was nice to know he has things under control and I didn't have to worry about anything.

One of our first days living together, I noticed husband was using the wrong towel. There are 3 different sizes for a reason! Right? I had to explain that the small square towel was for your face ONLY, medium size is a hand towel, and of course the bath towels. We both laughed about it in the end.

And one of the things that I have loved the most, is my husband's pure and genuine love. He makes me tea at the exact time I need it without even asking me, he plays with my hair as we fall asleep, prays for me each night, and this morning I found this sweet little love note on a paper napkin when I got in the car. I didn't think I could fall any deeper in love with him, but I guess I was wrong.
P.S. Don't tell husband I showed you this ;)

A Quick Hello

Friday, May 11, 2012

Hi Friends,

So I know that I have been gone for about 3 weeks...but the weeks leading up to the wedding were ridiculous, and so I took the honeymoon and this past week to just enjoy my new hubby. We are slowly settling into our new home together, and enjoying being able to see each other every day. He brings me to work in the morning, and even brought me lunch the other day! I'm liking this husband deal already.

Here's a few teaser pics of our wedding from my sister.

Wedding Wednesday: Indian Photoshoot (Part II)

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

Last week Friday I had my hair and makeup trials done, as well as some photos in my Indian outfit - this style is called a lengha. We had a lot of fun and had the most perfect day to do them. It made me so excited for the wedding because it made everything seem so much more real, and also gave me confidence that the wedding day will go smoothly.

Here's a few photos that I got back from my photographer as a little preview. I hope you like them!
