Happy Days, she's back!!! No guilt, you are entitled to have your space. I loved where you were staying in St. Lucia. Gorgeous! The birds singing and hearing the ocean waves are emotional for me. BTW Love fresh coconut milk and the meat inside, Yum. Your outfits are timeless even if they are from Zara. You do high-low well. Glad to know all is well.
☀I am very happy to hear that you recognize fast fashion and are also handling it carefully. Thank you. I hope many more people will do the same. You are an inspiration.☀
Karen and Michael… Michael and Karen… I can not get enough of you TWO!!! Thanks for sharing a piece of home again Karen. Hope your family is doing well now. 🇱🇨
Love that you try to hold onto those fab pieces . I worked for “ country road clothing “ here in Australia, and kept a lot of beautiful pieces from 20 years ago . Here they are all coming back round in fashion and I’m wearing them again . Great to see the young gen trying to avoid fast fashion if possible. You are really spreading that mantra. Keep up the great work !
Totally respect your decision to not share everything with us Karen, I do believe something need to remain private. My prayer is ALL is WELL! I L❤️VE the chemistry between you and Micheal and the way 🥰 he looks at you Karen is so sweet!👍🏾
Yesssss 🎉 fabulous Karen is back! 🎉🎉 ✌🏻🌸 Added: I preach what you said! "It's our behavior that makes fashion fast , not only the fastfashion store's, if you hold to lots of your pieces & rewear" them later (months, years) then you make (like the Zara pieces) slow fashion Bc indeed you can buy a shirt that costs 2k but if you wear it less then , say 5x & then "trow it away " Yea it's my moto too "buy what you really like & feels you & can make a few different looks" even if you wear it like,.. 2 summers not the 3th summer you will be happy you still have it It's the ULTIMATE STATE OF SLOW FASHION 💯👍🏻
You are so classy, your approach to everything is consistent with integrity, your respect for your followers and your balancing of your personal life with in that framing is remarkable. 💕
I’ve been a “summer black” person, all of my adult life, until I went to Portugal last June. The mosquitoes and flies went after me the most, when I wore black. During the day, you become shade. This was never a problem, but it was my 1st time in Portugal. I love the Chanel bronzer! I wear that, sometimes a little under eye concealer, and powder for my oily face. I might be a pinch darker than you, and it still nice. They really need 2 more darker shades. I’ll need another raffia hat when I return to Portugal, next year. They’re cute and inexpensive there, and you really need a hat, especially in the southern areas. I’m glad you mostly had a good time! 🥂
Yes, I had the coconut water when I was in Freeport…then in Barbados…mangoes….we picked them of the tree in Jamaica…the fruits in the islands…ohhhla!!,
Yes, I grew up in Panama Republic of Panama drinking fresh coconut water with the soft fruit flesh. We do have the star fruit as well, loved the Villa.
Karen I just wanted to say Thanks for mentioning your short sleeve chambray shirt from Walmart even though it was out of stock. I loved the color, the fabric and the slouchy over-sized fit and I snagged one NWT on Ebay that was the exact size I was looking for. It came today and I am in love with it! It's a good one. Much appreciated!
I rarely comment, but I agree with you about certain pieces. I have a Forever 21 piece I bought probably 10+ years ago and I still wear it today, love it!
Love all those outfits ! And wow what a villa! That view!!!!!!! OH yes I love starfruit - had them growing in my garden in Costa Rica Oh yeah! Love that fresh coconut water!
Love that you showed us your summer make up. I wear make up everyday , but summer make up is easy and breezy. Love that you got a family vacation. You do this for us free..we don’t expect to know everything about your personal life. We always just wish you the best ❤❤❤
Hi Karen & Michael, so glad you have had a bit of down time & hit that pause button to refresh & relax with your family & friends. Don’t apologise for anything, just look after yourselves. Hugs from the UK xx
Always, always have to have fresh coconut water and jelly when I'm in STL ❤ Nothing like drinking from the carton. PS.. haven't you tried chairmans rum from St Lucia... Very smooth
Happy to hear from you and Michael! Thank you so much from sharing the beauty of St. Lucia. I hope to return to that beautiful island one day. Glad you took time for yourself, never question if that is okay. Love all of your looks so incredible and the vibe was what I remember and loved about St. Lucia.
Hope all is well on the home front. No apologies needed...see about your family. Love seeing St Lucia and the view from your room❤ Michael is so thoughtful with the mango and coconut water!
I'm an "love" the chanel dad sandals, looked at them in silver but didn't pull the trigger on time. Also love the black dress with from Zara, all cotton I think, with the cut-outs on the bottom. If you've linked it I would like one now. Not many summer dresses I like but that one is so cute. I have to wear a bra, but I 've learned to buy a variety of tank tops so I can enjoy dresses like that one. Hope you had a wonderful holiday, thanks for sharing.
Karen welcome back truly missed you and the fashion u bring. You have inspired me to shop in the men's section never really gave it much thought , but u scored some good pieces again welcome back! 💕🕶👠
omggg yes I used to tear up some starfruit when I was much younger, so tasteful ✨ starfruit mangoes & kiwis were my absolute favs as a kid & still are my fav fruits including blackberries too 🙌🏾
Yes, Definitely. You don't have to share everything. Always keep some things to yourself and about yourself. Love the villa 😊🎉🇹🇹. I would be the 1st on the roof 😂.
Absolutely beautiful place!! ❤ Micheal is a great tour guide & has a cheeky wink 😂 I tell you what you guys live the life!!! I enjoy you mixing high/low! I do love Zara too.
Oh my, the creative me came out the second I saw the brim 'floppin' on that awesome straw hat (that I love the look on you!). Fix it: Buy a round upholstery needle and some awesome raffia straw. Hand stitch the brim onto the hat in a rough crisscross stitch. Wouldn't that look awesome with the choice of a darker raffia fiber? Another quick thought: Before hand-sewing on the brim, just run a bit of permanent glue on the raw edge of the hat bowl--the brim will remain more secure. A well used hat is much more fun to wear than something 'too new'. Think of that. ~ L
I haven't been away since well I dunno actually! but you took me with you and it was great lol 😊 I was hoping you would show us the sparkly dress you wore in the evening from Zara. Was it metallic or metallic thread? ❤
It's my dream destination, St. Lucia. Thank you for sharing. I am still watching and I know I'll enjoy the rest, I've been waiting for a video from you and Michael. Love the Zara ensemble.
Love St. Lucia!! Went there on our honeymoon and many times since. Always stay and the Windham. Have to look into the Windjammer (Ana w company?), it’s stunning!! People are so nice there!
Great video as always. St Lucia amazing. You are quite right in keeping stuff private, only share what you feel comfortable with! Family and friends are everything, with out these people our lives would be empty. Thanks for the great video. Love. Xxx
love you two so much! so happy that you get to enjoy these gorgeous vacations! love ur clothes, always~~~edit to say, I really like the chanel dad sandals' look, too!
Fresh coconut water: every chance I get! I was just home in St.Kitts for three weeks and had some almost every day!!! It’s great when you take the shell from them as well and scoop out the jelly and eat it on the go. 😋
YES!!!! Coconut wata n jelly I eat my jelly with brown sugar from Jamaica.. I’m a island girl.. looove ur vlogs😘😘ur husband have me lol when he pop up in the video love it😂
You and Michael are the legit sweetest couple. Love what you both have built together ❤

Bc indeed you can buy a shirt that costs 2k but if you wear it less then , say 5x & then "trow it away "
Yea it's my moto too "buy what you really like & feels you & can make a few different looks" even if you wear it like,.. 2 summers not the 3th summer you will be happy you still have it
It's the
ULTIMATE STATE OF SLOW FASHION

Wow the outfit for the beach dinner is perfect
We all deserve a break I love a good snow cone.
Happy to have you back😊
I am from the tropics and we had coconut trees in my house and of course we just cut them and drank it.
Fresh coconut water was so refreshing. Had it in Trinidad and Belize!
It functions like Gatorade in your body. It has electrolytes. If someone ever has problems with the heat it is good for them.

I thrift a lot of fast fashion (98% of my wardrobe is thrifted) giving it a second life and always get compliments on my outfits.

I have that same Zara sparkly dress. I was thinking how can I wear it. You just gave me an idea, wear it as a swimsuit cover up.
