Looking for Caribbean Travel Fashion Inspiration? Most believe the Caribbean is all about flip flops but make sure to pack tailored dresses and heels, especially in a destination such as Puerto Rico where local women love to dress up. This post was originally posted by Metanoya Webb on her blog, Globetrotting Stiletto. This post is inspired by travel to Havana but I say it’s applicable to all Caribbean destinations! Last month, she got us ready for a Florida getaway and now she gets us ready for a Caribbean getaway with her use of prints. I’m headed to Puerto Rico next month for a beach wedding and will definitely draw some inspiration from her look.
Globetrotting In Style: Havana, Cuba
Big up to Solange for giving us the go ahead to unabashedly print clash. For my take on the popular summer trend, I styled a high-waist leaf-print pencil skirt with a complimentary croptop. As I was putting this ‘fit together, I felt a festive vibe so I pulled for my Panama hat, metallic Pierre Hardy sandals, and MAC’s fluorescent Morange lipstick. I have a slew of meetings around the City today and this look is sure to leave a lasting impression. I know I won’t survive in these heels for long so I’m walking with my highlighter yellow Matiko t-strap sandals (last seen HERE).
I accent my Havana-inspired look with a Panama hat, metallic Pierre Hardy sandals, a vintage chain purse, beaded bangles, gold hoops and MAC’s fluorescent Morange lipstick.

In honor of traveling to Havana (legally) finally being a possibility, I figured I give you some style incentive to book a ticket and go! Happy Travels!
