Pro Piece: Lisa James White

If you’ve been good this holiday season, you will have no problem basking under the winter sun in a killer two-piece. If however, you live in reality and are suffering from a little extra winter padding, you may want to include some stylish cover-up options. Key pieces to include are a kaftan, a tunic dress, and a wrap. Pair with wedges or sandals and be sure to pack a big hat and even bigger sunglasses.

Have a nagging urge to make you ex-best-friend/annoying-relative/ ass-kissing-colleague stark raving mad with jealousy? Pop this PictureMate Snap into your luggage and garner some instant gratification. Print your holiday photos up as soon as they’re shot, turn them into postcards and mail them off for the jealousy effect.

Your day starts out at 10:00am with a silver room-service tray filled with plush fruit, warm baguettes and a bold pot of coffee. You then travel poolside, scout out the ideal caban and perch your beautifully brown body on a lounger. You order up one of those glorious fruity concoctions (who’s name you just can’t seem to remember) and pull out your favorite beach read. Ah, hedonism at its best!
