Cabo Style Diary: Outfit Inspiration from the Avara Resort Collection
I’m back home in New Jersey after a dreamy few days in Cabo, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you! I had the honor of traveling with a brand I adore—Avara—for the launch of their Resort Collection, and it was beyond magical. Alongside nine other incredible content creators, we spent the trip soaking up sunshine, laughter, and plenty of colorful, happy vibes. I’m breaking down the trip and sharing tons of outfit inspiration for Mexico or any spring and summer getaways you might have coming up. And yes, every single piece featured here is available with my code TAMMYL15—clothes, shoes, jewelry, bags…everything!
Why I Love Avara
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know Avara has a permanent place in my wardrobe. Their pieces are cheerful, vibrant, and feminine while staying completely wearable. They cater to women over 40, but honestly, their designs can brighten anyone’s closet. Think bold prints, whimsical tops, and some beautifully elevated basics. Whenever someone asks me for a go-to dress recommendation, Avara is my first suggestion. It’s hard not to feel happy in these pieces—trust me, they have that effect.
The Trip Highlights
Staying at Nobu Los Cabos was pure perfection—the weather, the scenery, the team—it all felt like a career highlight. Getting to collaborate with women I’ve admired for years, some even before I started HOLB in 2017, was truly a full-circle moment. The collection itself? Absolutely stunning. Every piece had high-end vibes, gorgeous fabrics, and effortless versatility.
Here’s a peek at some of my favorite outfits from the trip, plus styling tips for Mexico—or anywhere your summer travels take you.
Dresses for Mexico (and Beyond)
Orange Tie-Shoulder Dress (Small)
The tie shoulders, smocked chest, and airy fabric make this dress perfection. It’s lightweight, flattering, and the kind of dress that just radiates happiness. Pair with neutral sandals and layered bracelets for effortless vacation vibes.
Blue Tropical Dress (Small)
This blue stunner had everyone talking. The chain strap bag doubles as a crossbody, making it practical for daytime exploring. Its vibrant hues and flowy silhouette are just as dreamy in person as in photos. Perfect for Mexico…or even Greece!
Vibrant Printed Dress (Small)
One of the most popular pieces on the trip. Silky, flowy, tropical—this dress is a showstopper. Easy to wear, comfortable, and incredibly photogenic.
Strapless Blue Dress (XS)
A favorite of mine for versatility. Great for flat sandals during the day or dressed up with wedges in the evening. The side zipper ensures everything stays put, and the length is flattering on all heights.
Mix & Match: Skirts, Rompers, and Pants
Maxi Skirt + Crochet Tank (XS/XS)
Vacation essentials! This maxi skirt has double lining, flows beautifully, and pairs effortlessly with multiple tops. The crochet tank is a soft, standout piece that adds texture and interest.
Mom-Friendly Romper (Small)
Another travel-perfect piece. Comfy, chic, and easy to wear, the fabric feels luxe, and the wedges paired beautifully with all the collection’s dresses and rompers.
Chic Pants + Bodysuit (XS/Small)
Even in Cabo, nights can get chilly. These pants steamed in no time and gave off beach-chic vibes, especially paired with Avara’s lived-in denim jacket with puff sleeves. Perfect for layering without sacrificing style.
Tops, Shorts, and Denim
Statement Top + Jeans (Small/26)
The top is quintessential Avara—bold, feminine, and colorful. The light-wash Risen jeans are stretchy, comfortable, and perfect for summer adventures.
Ecru Kut From the Kloth Jeans (00)
Great stretch, breathable, and versatile for pairing with any top. A spring and summer must-have.
Crochet Tank + Shorts (XS/Small)
Ideal for warm days. These lightweight shorts can be worn over swimsuits or styled for casual dinners.
Silky Top + Denim Shorts (Small/Small)
The back of these shorts is slightly longer than the front, making them mom-friendly while keeping a designer look. Pair with sandals and layered bracelets for an easy chic look.
The Perfect Jumpsuit
Knit Jumpsuit (XS)
Arguably the steal of the collection. Around $38 with the code, this jumpsuit is soft, drapey, and versatile enough to wear all day or dress up for dinner. A travel wardrobe hero!
Shoes to Match Every Outfit
From wedges to straw sandals, platforms, and gold flats, the collection’s shoes are affordable, comfy, and true to size. The gold bow sandals, in particular, were the “it” pair of the trip—selling out fast and back in stock for a limited time.
Final Thoughts
This trip was unforgettable. Collaborating with such amazing women, exploring Cabo, and wearing these vibrant, happy pieces made it one of my favorite work trips to date. I hope this recap inspires your own spring or summer travel wardrobes and gives you plenty of outfit ideas for Mexico, Greece, or anywhere sunny and fabulous.
