I am….there is nothing I find more appealing than a trip to a warm beach after the holidays. The snowy cold weather completely wears me down, to the point that some days I don’t even feel like getting out of bed. The only thing that keeps me going through the freezing Buffalo winter is knowing that in two short months I will be stretched out next to the ocean with the sun beating down on me.

Of course, by then I will have worked off those Christmas cookies so I will be looking trim in a classic Black Bikini by DVF, but my true obsession is not with the bikini, its the cover up. A perfect cover up is essential for a good day in the sun. You basically live in the cover up, which is why my favorite of the moment is the DVF Tasha Cover Up Mini Dress in Lime. It so cute for any vacation, a private beach to poolside at the Palms in Las Vegas. Throw on a chunky necklace and black wedges and your ready for cocktails and dinner.

In the meantime I’m going to stay toasty in the cutest sweaters of the season and daydream about the beach….
