Bahamas Cruise - Day 2
































Day 2 was spent in Freeport + fancy night at dinner! During the day, we took a taxi to nearby Xanadu Beach. It was a gorgeous beach, on the small side, and attached to a big resort that appeared to be closed (off season?). Some of the locals were in jackets, but it was just warm enough in the sunshine to rock a bathing suit and not have goosebumps. :-) After a fun day on the beach, we headed back to the boat for "fancy night" at dinner. I wore this pleated pink dress that I wore to the ballet last year (see it here). I didn't have time or money to shop for anything to wear on this trip (we booked last-minute to get an awesome price), so I focused on getting creative with things I already had. These shoes are a recent addition to my closet and I thought now was the perfect time to bust them out, along with my new-ish tuxedo jacket to finish off the look!

  6. I just love your three "Sunset Photographs" on the ship's deck!!    The multi-tiered, crystal-pleated, pink chiffon RUFFLES, (i.e., of your gorgeous, feminine dress), almost seem to............ *e.*c.*h.*o.*............ the ocean's *gentle WAVES* in the background............ and also the *puffy CLOUDS*, way-back-there on the horizon, too!!   

    The Greco-Roman statuary on board is really classy and artistically *lovely*;  and your Imitation Of The Statue----(i.e., with your pose and your own tuxedo-jacket "towel"!!)----is very cute/clever!!    I think I like YOUR dinner outfit just a little bit more, J., than HER statuary dinner "outfit," though;  and in fact, I think Ms. Statue could really USE someone, like you, to............ show her HOW TO "Shop Her Closet" for dinner on board, (haha)!!

  9. LOL Rosanna! Yes, I was being a total goofball in the statue picture. We took a bunch of silly photos that night, but that is the only suitable one (aka not embarrassing)  I could post! I could definitely show her a thing or two about dressing though. Chica is totally naked. :-)

  13. I love those colin stuart heels and have been meaning to get them but I’m confused about the sizing regarding the back panel. Did you need to go a size up or down when getting these heels or are they true to size?
    p.s. u’re a stunner!

  14. Thanks Kiran! I'm a true 9.5, but most companies don't make that size so I got a size 10. They fit perfect. The gold ankle strap is somewhat stretchy in the back, which I think helps make the shoes fit! I would go with your normal size though.
