Since it’s snowing (again) in DC tonight, I’m thinking a little virtual getaway is in order… Instead of harsh winter white, I’m craving calming, airy neutrals – perhaps inspired by the Mykonos Grand Hotel?
From the moment you walk into the lobby, clean lines and tranquil space invite you in… such a contrast to my busy/stressful life and subsequent not-so-organized apartment right now!
Any of these light coverups would be perfect for throwing over a swimsuit or just lounging around (thought I’d probably suggest adding shorts for actually walking around) – Kushcush Beaux Cover Up ($162), Juicy Pleated Ruffle Cover Up ($173), Brette Sandler Alexis Voile Cover Up ($210)
How sublimely serene is that bedroom?! And a bathroom with a hot tub AND a view… it doesn’t get much better than that.
I love the idea of a long, white flowy dress for resort attire – it’s such a great canvas for layering big, bright accessories and showing off a tan! Geren Ford Rope Gown ($398), Rachel Pally Long Cutout Dress ($238), Theory Zaira Long Dress ($335)
I’m pretty much picturing myself (insert drink with superfluous fruit garnish) admiring the view from this patio…
For a getaway with the girls, you could head to the bar in any one of these casual cocktail dresses – Mason Drape Shoulder Tank Dress ($265), Twinkle Greek Goddess Dress ($319), Shoshanna Ruffle Cami Dress ($305)
I have such a design crush on this bar – so sleek and modern but welcoming at the same time!
Or for a Valentine’s Day getaway, these would all be fun date attire options – Madison Marcus Glossy Dress ($280), ISSA Kimono Dress ($418)
My Valentine’s Day plans will unfortunately not include dinner on the beach… sigh… one day!
So girls’ trip or romantic vacation, who’s up for a getaway to Greece?

Comment by Miss Eve February 4, 2010 @ 3:50 amLet’s go. Right now. Let’s get out of here before the snow on Friday. Please? I’m so tired of the snow.
Comment by Christen February 3, 2010 @ 9:46 pmAhhhh that looks so amazing, I wish I could be there wearing those clothes! Ha and my Valentine’s Day will pretty much be a bust as well. I’ll be on a pool deck all afternoon swimming!
Comment by S.Elisabeth February 3, 2010 @ 9:11 pmI want to escape to paradise now! In beautiful white dresses
Comment by Mara February 3, 2010 @ 7:00 pmOoh, I have wanted to visit Greece for ages. Everything is so gorgeous there. You are starting to kill me with these posts, Elle – love them far too much. And do you think there’s anything from wearing the Kushcush Beaux Cover Up as an actual outfit? It seems too pretty to be just a cover up!!
Comment by Cafe Fashionista February 3, 2010 @ 6:14 pmOhhhhh, if only! That Rachel Pally cutout dress is divine!
Comment by Kristin February 3, 2010 @ 5:56 pmI was loving all the whites–so serene–but then I got to the cocktail dresses and realized I love the pretty pink of that first dress! I guess I need color. Pretty!
Comment by lesli February 3, 2010 @ 5:27 pmOh my goodness, that hotel is just divine. I want to be lounging on that patio at sunset, for sure!
Comment by Struggler February 3, 2010 @ 3:58 pmThe whites are so appropriate for this destination… I love the dresses you chose. xoxo
Comment by Leah February 3, 2010 @ 11:51 amI’m already there =]

Comment by Jessica February 3, 2010 @ 7:22 amI’m really into whites and nudes both in interior design and clothes lately, so I really really really like this post! Everything’s so pretty! I think I’ll have to get back to it and take a look again once I have more time in the evening
(Morning here right now!)

I love the song Mykonos by Fleet Foxes.
Comment by Chelsea February 3, 2010 @ 12:14 amMy favorite look is definitely the second to last dress!
Let’s all hope for a Valentine’s Day on the beach
