Our first morning in Cuba was just as warm and bright as I had hoped for. We stayed at Melia Las Antillas in Varadero – an adults only resort about 2.5 hours from Havana. As soon as we arrived, our internal clock seemed to have instinctively switched to “vacation mode” because the concept of time seemed especially relative and unimportant – a mental state that in Cuba promotes both relaxation and…hunger. We kept missing breakfast for the first half of the vacation so our mornings began with a cappuccino or Spanish coffee and a brownie; talk about a well balanced diet.
This was my first day look of the trip. The tropics are all about vibrancy and color so I added the headscarf and the bright green earrings for a little boost of both.
What I’m wearing:
- Cotton beach dress by “Marciano” (last seen in Apr. 21’10)
- Sunglasses by “MARNI” (last seen in June 28’10)
- Shell earrings
- Chunky chain ring by “Luc Kieffer” (last seen in July 28’10)
- Santorini large straw tote by “Michael Kors” (last seen in July 19’10)
- Straw pumps by “Betsey Johnson” (last seen in July 26’10)
- Silk scarf by “Cocoon House”
- Bikini (from Dominican Republic)
Love the vibrant colors on you! And love the way you used the white beach dress to kind of tone it down. Very nice, SP! When you said Spanish Coffee, do you really mean the famous Spanish coffee that I'm thinking of? The ones with Bacardi 151 Proof Rum?
Yeah. My brother drank it all the time while I stuck to cappuccinos mostly. Have you ever tried Spanish Coffee before? They are huge on rum in Cuba so they add it to everything it seems
Yes, when I was in a restaurant called Huber's in Portland OR last week. I was more intrigued by the whole process of making it than the drink itself. I video taped the whole process.
Oh really? Was it complicated? I only got to experience the end product.
Actually I think it's amazing. I uploaded the video to this post here:

We were staying at the same resort at the same time and I saw you during one of the evening shows. You were sitting front row wearing a very cute black top and smoking a cigar. You looked familiar but I could not have imagined the world was this small…

OMG, thanks CRAZY!!! What are the chances. I even know what night it must have been – the very first one for us. We had just gotten off the bus in time for dinner and the show. Did you enjoy your stay there?
I love this outfit! Its just so colorful! you look really radiant in these bright colors!
Thank you! I felt like wearing nothing but brights – it was definitely an accurate reflection of how I felt
Love Lida

Oh thanks sweets. I know it doesn't seem like it from the posts but I just came back actually. There was no decent internet in Cuba so I'm posting all my looks from the vacation now.
Love Lida
Lida you look ah-mazing.
Thanks Trishna (blush, blush). I wish I had face icons like they do on MSN so that I could better express my emotions

wow i love the beach dress – you could get away with wearing that normally.
coffee and brownies sound like the perfect way to start a day when on vacation!

Oh thanks Jade. I did wear it as a top once over leggings actually in the Apr. 21’10 post.
P.S. I agree about the coffee and brownie thing. I think when it's time to indulge you should go all out.
Love Lida
