My family goes crazy on vacations.

When I say crazy, I mean we dress up to the nines EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. This trip will be eight days long and no exception!

Have you ever been to the Dominican Republic? We like to stay in Punta Cana! It is so beautiful and the hotel we stay at is insane!! Make sure you are following along on Snapchat: themilleraffect (or see Snapcode at the footer of this post) and Instagram to see photos while I am there!!

What to pack to the Dominican Republic:

When packing for a crazy family vacation, I have to make sure I have enough dresses each night, and then of course make sure I have the shoes and purse to match. I know it seems like a lot of trouble for vacation, but it is a tradition!

Plus, it gives me an excuse to shop!

Also, I always want to make sure I bring work out clothes for the very few days I do get a work out in (who am I kidding I may work out one day while I am there), and I have to make sure I bring a tennis outfit for when my parents want to hit the courts!

Lastly, I have always been known to wear a different swimsuit every.single.day. I did this even before blogging. I used to have random women come up to me and ask if I am a stylist or if I was interested in styling!

When I shop for vacation I go a little crazy and buy everything I see in every store. Then, I make my actual choices while I am packing! I always have to try everything on and I just make sure to pack everything that fits the best!

Here are some items I have bought, but you will have to follow along to see what I actually wear (hint, this is only HALF of the items I actually bought, I just didn’t have enough room/time to post it all)!!

PS, I leave on FRIDAY!!
