This was worn on a SUPER hot day a few weeks ago. I spent a few hours cooling down in the pool but when I had to get dressed I kept it simple with my super cute Splendid dress and Lanvin sandals which I wore 3 times in 4 days when I first got them (and the 4th day I didn't get dressed.) Both the pieces in this look were bought during Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale, just one year apart.

You haven't seen much of this romper on the blog this year after it appearing a LOT last Summer, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been worn. It's still what I turn to on those days where I don't want to think about what I'm wearing.
These sandals, on the other hand, aren't getting as much love as they should. These are actually the first pair of Ancient Greek Sandals I bought. This was back when they only had a few colors so I went with the tan, also why I don't wear them as much - they get super dirty! I now have SIX pairs from the brand. I still have to get a pair fixed, I'm so lazy!

And here's my last Aruba post! The rest of our trip was spent at the beach and eating some delicious food. My favorite spots we ate were Taste of Belgium for breakfast, Smokey Joe's (pulled chicken sandwich!!) and Moomba Beach's buffet breakfast. We also had some delicious Mexican food at the Iguana Cantina. We didn't stray too far away from our hotel so I didn't get to try a few of the places I had looked up beforehand. But we decided we would rather walk to get food than take cabs and save some cash!
Another fun activity we did was the Jolly Pirates Snorkel cruise! We boarded the pirate ship at 8:30 in the morning to head off to three snorkel locations. The first was in deeper water to see the Antilla WWII shipwreck, the water was super choppy here so I didn't stay out long. Next up was Boca Catalina where we were a little closer to shore. We ended at Malmok where we got to dive off the plank and use a fun Ropeswing. We ended the day with a delicious BBQ lunch and headed back to shore!
During our trip we did two separate excursions to explore Aruba. First up was a Jeep Tour to the Natural Pool with De Palm Tours. We had such a fun time on this tour, which was a lot like a roller coaster thanks to all the bumps and ups and downs. The first stop was snorkeling in the Natural Pool which was really cool. After that we visited the Natural Bridge, the oldest church in Aruba and the California Lighthouse. The tour was 5 hours long and worth every penny!
