It feels very strange to live on a Caribbean island and be able to wake up in the morning and say ‘let’s get the ferry to the US today’! But that’s exactly what we did when we went to the US Virgin Islands for a long weekend. Continue reading ST JOHN

A lot of people who travel to Costa Rica head straight from the main airport at San José to greener destinations, and had we been pressed for time we would probably have done the same, but it felt strange to be in the capital and not explore it at all. I’ll be honest: San José is not the most picturesque of cities, but it’s lively and it’s here that you get the distinct sense that Costa Rica is a country growing quickly.

This wasn’t my first time in Miami – I think it was my fourth. Considering that I’ve always wanted to visit, it’s strange to have now been there so many times in such a short space of time.Since moving to the Caribbean, Miami has been the go-to place for connections to pretty much everywhere, including islands that are quite nearby, so it’s a good thing I like it so much!

Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico: another island! I evidently don’t like to be landlocked. We thought we’d skip the beaches this time though (shock horror) and hit the capital, San Juan, instead. The centre, Old San Juan, is a cobblestoney maze of confetti-coloured buildings. Even the cobblestones themselves – made from blue and silver stone – are colourful. Typically Caribbean with its flower-adorned houses and ocean view, its pretty piazzas and ridiculously well-maintained Spanish Colonial architecture also give it (unsurprisingly), a really European feel. It’s a Caribbean/European/American city-paradise!

I love this silk slip/dress from Italian company Dante e Maria; it’s so easy and simple that it meant I could get away with wearing it with this crazy jacket from JPG. I matched it with some orange/bronze heels from Taccetti – another Italian company, which seriously makes the most beautiful shoes ever. Loving the giant bows!
