Daydream Believin'

I've had quite the hectic work week -- non-stop activity and some very, very long hours at work. But as I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, I kept thinking about how great it would be to escape this hellish week by finding a remote island, where I could bask on a beach, sipping a Mai Tai and doing absolutely nothing.


Of course, this was only daydreaming, as I was awakened to the realization that my crazy week wasn't quite over. But that short mental vacation helped ease my weary, computer-hazed eyes and gave me a small pick-me-up for what may lay ahead. And even though my impossibly, delicious beach vacation is highly unlikely, I can still pretend by looking the part.

Here are some great beach-bum looks that ooze that relaxed, do nothing because I'm on vacation look.
