Happy Tuesday from the sunny island of St. John! I’m writing to you from the tranquil Lovango Resort, where all I can hear are the birds and gentle waves. Okay, and Mr. Sugarplum on a Zoom session, ha!
After seeing this spot on Elin Hilderbrand’s Instagram, it’s been on my wish list for years! She writes all her novels from St. John, and celebrates their completion with a stay at Lovango before returning to Nantucket (so dreamy, right?!).
When they invited us for a visit, I couldn’t say YES fast enough! I’m sharing the property and experience on my Instagram Stories (catch those HERE), and will recap for you here, as well. They even offered us an exclusive 10% off code for any bookings this year… just add CASS at checkout HERE for instant savings!
So obviously I’ve had warm weather on my mind, and Resort is my absolute favorite season for styles. Here are some fun finds on my radar from favorite retailers who know how to do Resort right!

Two weeks in Maui in late February/early March. I’ll be packing several tankinis, cover-ups and casual dresses. And sunscreen, lots of sunscreen!
I’ve had several snips of skin cancer nipped off (all w/ clear margins). Between hats, sunscreen and shade, I do not tan.
Good for you, Patricia! You’re doing all the right things! xo, C
Have fun, looks like an amazing resort! I live in a warm weather climate, so an escape to the snow is on my mind. Happy new year!
North Texas got real legit snow last week, it was such a treat!! xoxo, C
