Let [Winter] Go...and talk about my Ibizia vacation (Part 1)

I thought since it's currently an ice-covered tundra here in New Jersey, that it was time to share my beautiful (and warm) Ibizia vacation.  First up in the little tour around the island is Ibizia Town (or Eivissa depending on who you talk to).  Oh and there is an outfit included in here too!

So, as you can see I finally found the perfect tulle skirt.  And I thought the perfect place to wear it was an old fort.  Well actually, this is just the entrance to the older portion of the city (Upper Town) or the Dalt Villa.  But, it's protected by a fort.  Pirates were a thing back in the day.  And maybe sneakers were not the best accompaniment to a tulle skirt, but the streets in the Dalt Villa are pretty much vertical and made of the world's slipperiest stone.  Not ideal walking terrain.

Most of the statutes in the Dalt Vila were headless.

The lower and modern part of the town is overflowing with great shops and restaurants.  We spent the majority of our ten days in Ibizia Town.  Because I love to shop...and it was pretty much the only place I could eat.  Vegetarian food did not abound in the more rural part where we stayed.  The grocery stores weren't even much help to me.  They mostly stocked parts of the pig that I don't think people should eat.  I'm not entirely sure what town we were in.  We stayed in a villa with the Scot's family....that did not have an address.  We have to give GPS coordinates to the cab driver.  Street names and town boundaries don't seem to be a thing.  I guess if you want to look it up on a map, we were a few minutes from a beach called Port de Torrent.  But anyway, back to Ibizia Town.

Graffiti.  There was a lot of anti-petroleum drilling graffiti.

I found a pretty awesome little shop in Ibizia Town called Biscuit.  Its like a teeny tiny Anthropologie.

This outfit is a knockoff in two ways.  Layers of copying, if you will.  

First, it was inspired by an Atlantic Pacific outfit way back from 2012.  (Ok, I know I am wearing plain black shoes instead of fab pink ones, but as you can see this pictures were taken on vacation in Ibiza and not in suburban NJ.  The bright colored heels just did not fit in the suitcase.)  What can I say?  Stripes are timeless.  And I Google before I get dressed in the morning sometimes.  Some people exercise or eat a healthy breakfast first in the morning.  I, personally, Google outfit ideas. 

Second, this dress is Kate Spade-inspired.  I thought it was a great dupe for the Celina dress.  I am not saying this designer copied Kate Spade.  I have no idea which dress came first.  It's a chicken or the egg type of dilemma.  Also, I am not sure you can accuse someone of plagiarizing black and white stripes.  But, I am sure that this dress (at $88) is 77% less expensive than the Kate Spade version.  Check it I did the math.  So, there you have it.  Layers of copying and bargain hunting put this outfit together.

Where in the World is Penniless Socialite?

Ladies and gentleman, I have left the country.  I have (hopefully) by now made my way to the land of Justin Bieber punches, Ibiza.  If not, I am sitting in an airport in Frankfort crying.  (Yes, we had to fly via Germany....it's a loooong story).

Anyways...have no fear, I have all of my posts scheduled for you this week...including the link ups!  I'll be back October 1st, but I'll be checking in every so often because we will actually have wireless internet.  Yes, we are so wealthy and fancy.  But, seriously, this is my first vacation ever where the hotel has wireless internet.
