I’m in Florida for the week, which means I’ve blacked out the concept of cold weather and am already planning ahead for summer, particularly in regards to wardrobe. There’s no worse feeling than unboxing your summer clothes after a long winter only to realize that you a) hate everything or b) nothing fits (or c) both). I paid a whopping $20 for in-flight WiFi and spent my entire flight down online shopping for things that 100% will not arrive in time to wear this trip, but I’ve never let that stop me before. Below are some of my top picks…so if you haven’t already booked that trip to Ibiza, take this as your cue.
1. I tried this dress on in Rachel Comey and absolutely fell in love (will include an excerpt from my dressing room photoshoot below). It runs VERY big — I am wearing a size zero, which I am telling you not only for informational purposes but also because it’s the first time I’ve worn a zero in my life and I’d like this in writing. 2. These little ankle tie sandals are what I’ll be living in all summer. 3. This is a SPLURGE but you’ll have it forever and it is so fun different cool unique chic (you get it). 4. I’m including two photos of these little shorts because I think it’s the side detail that makes them special. 5. Why is this Marques Almeida x Everlane collab running so under the radar?? I’m planning to wear this as a cover up. 6. I truly think Marni makes the most fun and functional beach bags. 7. If you’ve been wanting to try the pop of red trend but don’t know where to start, these sunglasses are low risk. 8. Never say no to a striped bikini. 9. I get so many compliments every time I wear this bikini top and it pairs with any black bottom. 10. Including these pants in TWO colors (black and white) becuase I love them — I have the skirt in both colors and they’re my most worn items of summer. 11. I’m not usually a colorful girly when it comes to dressing, but Eliou’s necklaces are making me want to re-think things.
1. I am normally not a Zimmermann gal but this little dress is adorable. Dress it up with a heel or down with a sandal, city or seaside, etc. etc. etc… 2. This is a little swim skirt by Solid & Striped which I didn’t know was a thing but I’m very glad I now do. Pair it with the matching top. 3. There is a whole lot going on with this one piece but consider me intrigued…might have to place my own order. 4. I’m always looking for easy dresses to throw on when it’s scorching hot or I’m in a rush but still want to look cute, and this one fits the bill. 6. Mango always does well with their summer pieces and this black top is perfect for a night out. 7. Why am I so obsessed with these patchwork Pucci shorts??? 8. I keep singing Mikoh’s praises and I’m not about to stop with this underwire bikini top. The girls with the *girls* will thank me. 9. I tried this on at Tory Burch and really loved it. It’s made of swim material but still feels appropriate for evening. 10. I can never have enough white tops in the summer and this one is making its way to my apartment as I type. 11. Are you tired of me recommending Cherry LA sunglasses yet??? Here’s a new color. 12. Kule’s striped knit shorts are perfect for lounging OR beach time.
1. I have been loving all of Maygel Coronel’s pieces and this one seems so fun for summer. 2. I’m usually big on espadrilles but these somehow still feel chic? 3. The perfect linen top to go out at night (Sasch if you’re reading, THIS is what I’d wear to a club in Miami). 4. Usually Loewe’s sunglasses are too over the top but loving this shape in the tortoise. 5. Another good Miami club option because apparently that’s what we’re doing these days. 6. Shell jewelry!! For summer!!! 7. One shoulder is officially back apparently and I’m not made at it, especially when paired with: 8. This striped mini skirt. 9. Throw the whole thing together with the cutest satin kitten heels from Doen (who knew they made shoes??). 10. Also loving these satin sandals with top knots. 11. A sheer skirt moment! Which we love!

1. I just ordered these eyelet pants, and am thinking of ordering the top as well (apparently it runs VERY large and can also be worn as a dress/cover up situation). 2. I hate spending $$ on raffia bags because they never last long, so this option from COS is a winner. 3. Another great score from Mango’s summer collection. 4. The puffy links are everywhere these days and this enamel necklace is a fun play on them. 5. Always a fan of a square neck and this Theory dress looks like one I’ll live in this summer, especially for running around the city. 6. More crochet!! Never enough crochet!! 7. Some more shell jewelry because why not. 7. These mesh flats look very cute and comfortable — I hate having bare toes in the city so they’re a great solution for walking around without feeling hot and stuffy. 8. This red linen top pairs perfectly with jeans OR…. 9. With these amazing pants from La Veste La Veste. I have them in red and may need these pink ones as well. 10. Last but not least, the perfect collar necklace for any and all of the square tops I am trying to sell you on.
The La Veste pants in red, an unlikely closet staple!!!
XOXO
