I thought I would take a little break from the vacation posts and share my room inspiration for the second bedroom aka my closet / office.
The current state of the second bedroom still looks about the same as a few weeks ago; I have done a bit more unpacking, but until we build some sort of organized closet system, I can't do much with current items in boxes.
As I previously mentioned, I want the space to be open, clean, functional and with a base colour of white. I recently purchased the desk above--which is still in the box--and it arrived right before our trip. We have been planning to get to Ikea so maybe this weekend will work out for that. I have created a closet-office Pinterest board with more inspiration, if you'd like to see.

I'm rolling out all my vacation posts this week and next up, Instagram shots!
I know not everyone has Instagram so I wanted to share shots of my vacation I posted on there. If you already follow me (I'm @acoest1984), you can skip this post and come back tomorrow, but if not, here's a few things you may have missed.
Also, if you do have Instagram, you can find all these photos under our vacation hashtag #acomsppuntacana.
Cheers!

Outfit deets:
* Ardene overalls (new!); I had planned to remove the daisies before we left on vacation but ran out of time. I know daisies are a huge trend this year but I'm not really feeling it, and despite thinking it's cute on theses, I'll still likely cut them off.
* H&M tank (old).
* Converse sneakers which I finally got to wear outside during our vacation, plus I used them as my travelling shoes instead of my normal flats.
This is a super simple outfit from my trip, but next time I'll style these overalls with a tee. That was my initial plan, but the t-shirt I brought was too flowy and it wasn't doing any favours to the overalls, nor me.
That said, this denim won't be seeing the light of day for a good month, with the cool temps we are still having. As an aside, it feels good to at least put away the winter jackets and pull out something a little lighter like leather jackets and trench coats. Hope you're having a great week thus far and see you tomorrow.

Hello! Hello! How is everyone's week going? You didn't think I would go a whole week without checking in from vacation, did you? Ha, me neither. Blogging is always on my mind and I love sharing and connecting with you all through here so I thought Friday would be the perfect day to stop in with a post from Punta Cana.
This week has been wonderful and relaxing, although I have found myself having a hard time sinking into vacation mode. Might be due to a longer length in between this and my last vacation--I'm out of practice. That said, as the days go by, my pace slows a little more, I breathe a little deeper and savour the moments a little longer. With two days left I better hurry up and relax!
I've been instagramming lots so if you aren't following along, and would like to, I'm @acoest1984.
On Tuesday we did a full day Catamaran excursion, leaving the resort just before 8am ams returning over 11 hours later. Sadly, it was not my favourite thing and it felt so good to get back to the resort. On top of that, I think due to the food and drinks I had off the resort, I ended up feeling pretty yucky on Wednesday. It was super unpleasant so that day was a bit of a wash.
On brighter notes, the resort is amazing and the food is fantastic. The people here are incredibly kind, friendly and accommodating. The pools are massive, the beach is gorgeous and the weather has been great (not great for my hair though, ha!).
I'm sitting here on our second-floor balcony with a view of the ocean and palm trees rustling above. I just ordered room service for the first time: a pre-dinner snack of chicken Caesar salad and am catching up on my favourite YouTube subscriptions (having wifi is awesome) while Marco is having a snooze inside.
Ultimately, I don't want to go home! I'm trying not to think about the inevitable because the thought of cooking and cleaning again? Ugh! Till then though, I'll down several more margaritas, indulge in far too many croissants at breakfast and enjoy the sun from my shaded beach chair since this girl isn't getting a tan. See you Monday!
