A tropical trip is necessary with snow on the ground in most of Connecticut. I went down to the Dominican Republic for a family trip after the holidays, where we relaxed, swam, and worked on upcoming tropical collections while in the mood. From working on new products with my daughter in tow (family business at its finest) to heading down to the beach in our Minnow x Sister Parish collaboration swimsuits, this quick trip was the perfect getaway.

With spring break on its way, I curated a selection of some of my favorite tropical items. Whether you’re looking for a little tropical inspiration or just daydreaming about a tropical trip, here are a few things I’ve been saving.
