Seas the Day in Style: Cruise Stopover on Catalina Island

The salty breeze whips through your hair, the sun paints the ocean in shimmering turquoise, and a kaleidoscope of adventure awaits on Catalina Island. But for the savvy traveler (read : fashionista) like myself, a cruise stopover isn't just about ticking off destinations – it's a chance to curate a picture-perfect travel wardrobe that captures the essence of the moment. when the So, ditch the tired resort wear and dive into a world of nautical chic, seaside sophistication, and island vibes that'll have you turning heads from the moment you step off the ship. And of course you gotta match the scenery. This panorama? It demands an outfit to match

Setting Sail in Style:

• Nautical stripes: Embracing the island's natural beauty with the timeless elegance of stripes in a stunning off shoulder jumpsuit in colors that match the scenery, & captures the island's vibrant spirit. Beautiful bold stripes in yellow, white, coral against the breathtaking backdrop of majestic mountain, sun-kissed beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and the crisp white cabanas. Alternatively, you could go for a more earthy vibe with stripes in olive green, ochre, and sand – mirroring the island's lush hills and dramatic rock formations.

• Style: For a relaxed yet chic look, opt for a wide-leg culotte style jumpsuit with an off-the-shoulder neckline, like mine. This will flow beautifully in the island breeze and showcase your sun-kissed shoulders.  If you're looking for something more glamorous, choose a jumpsuit with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt. Think Grecian goddess meets Hollywood starlet.

• Fabric: Linen, silk, or a cotton-silk blend would be perfect for a lightweight and breathable option. These fabrics will keep you cool in the Californian sun and drape beautifully for a flattering silhouette.

• Accessorizing:

  • Jewelry: I decided to keep it simple and let the jumpsuit stand out. 
  • Shoes: I opted for boat shoes, they're comfortable and practical yet stylish enough
  • Hat: A wide-brimmed straw hat is a must-have for sun protection and instant island vibes. Choose one with a colorful ribbon or a playful pom-pom detail to tie in with your jumpsuit.
  • Sunglasses

Remember:

• Comfort is key. You'll be doing a lot of walking and exploring, so choose an outfit that you can move and feel confident in. Don't be afraid to let your personality shine through! Catalina Island is a haven for laid-back vibes and effortless style. Choose  something that makes you feel fabulous and let your spirit reflect the island's carefree energy.

I hope this gives you some inspiration for creating the perfect island-inspired look! Have a wonderful time in Catalina!
