Who’s Packing for the Honeymoon?

August 18th, 2010 @ 11:37 am by Mrs. Lobster

Not me, apparently. In the midst of this wedding shenanigans, I haven’t even given thought to packing for the honeymoon which is in a mere few days. No packing! From me, the girl who starts thinking of outfits 3 weeks in advance of a long weekend getaway.

“You don’t need clothes on your honeymoon! That’s the whole point!” some might say… yeah… I need clothes. Otherwise I consider it a failed vacation fashionably-speaking. Sooo…

Last night I did some impulse online shopping. Some purchases were honeymoon related and some maybe not at all. You can decide for yourself.

First

Maxi dress. Long dresses are awesome because they hide your legs. and if your legs are like my legs they are likely and full of bumps and bruises, and mosquito bites.

ModCloth

Second

J.Crew’s fancy version or fancy priced Timex watch. Why? I felt Bora Bora would lend itself to a more rugged watch but more importantly WHY do I need to know what time it is at all? I don’t know! I had a rewards card burning a hole in my pocket.

You, Pretty. Me Likey.

Third

*Another* swimsuit. But I love this lagoon color. It’s my fave.

J.Crew, again

Fourth

This necklace. Because it matches my swimsuit and it reminds me of all those cute necklaces Ali (of The Bachelorette fame) wore when *she* was in Tahiti picking the man of her dreams (Roberto).

Fun times. I found my shopping spree to be quite relaxing and got me all jazzed up for the honeymoon. Lately it’s been wedding wedding wedding I haven’t even had a chance to look forward to the moon I’ll be spending with the honey!

Did you remember to pack for your honeymoon? Did you make any impulse purchases to get the ideas flowin’?

Yes I am totally ashamed of how much I spent on impulse purchases for the wedding and honeymoon. I had that feeling of desparation like I would regret it if I didn’t buy every item of clothing available in my size.

I love all your purchases! Even if the watch doesn’t make sense- who cares! You’re about to get married & go on your honeymoon yay! I think I will definitely need to do a mini shopping spree to get in the honeymoon packing groove :-)

Maxi dresses are a great idea (don’t know why I never thought of them) as a cover up for bruised, bug-bitten legs. ModCloth has lots of good stuff.

Just think… when you look at your watch after the trip, you’ll smile and remember it was with you on your honeymoon.

I heart J.Crew! Just did two separate orders with them in the last week so I totally feel you! And the necklace you got is adorable, kinda reminds me of the necklace Petrovsky gets Carrie in the final episodes of Sex and City.
