Resort Wear 101

From one sun worshipper to another.

I’m sure you ALL know by now, I’m on vacation! I mean, I’ve definitely been annoying enough about it. I thrive in warm weather and consider myself a bit of expert on beachwear, so here are my must haves for a spectacular, sun filled vacation:

Beach/Pool Accessories

1. I love my Monday Swimwear beach bag. I have the small, and it is the perfect size to throw in all your essentials. I like to doll mine up with a vintage Pucci scarf tied around the handle; some great ones available on The Real Real. Here and here!

2. How did I survive in the sun before this Janessa Leone hat? It’s got great structure and makes any beach look polished. It is a bit of a splurge, so here is a similar one that’s a bit cheaper.

3. Nothing beats a sandal so minimal it looks like you’re barefoot.

4. Nothing better than gold on tan skin! A bold bangle is a fun touch and bonus points if it is gold filled so you don’t need to worry about ruining your nice jewelry.

5. Keeping with the gold on tan theme, my gold Bottega sunnies were a great investment! Mine were a splurge but these are similar and majorly discounted!

Resort Wear

1. My absolute FAVORITE coverup of all time - it looks like you are wearing an oversized mens shirt but the belt cinches in your waist to make it sexy and feminine. I have this in two colors and I want a third!

2. Groundbreaking, I know, but I love crochet because it is so versatile. Works as coverup but you can also dress it up for dinner. This is a dream item for me. My Aya Muse skirt is also perfect but sold out at the sale price, so here is a dupe!

3. Love this French brand for flirty and unique dresses to wear out to dinner.

4. Hunza G is great because it’s one size fits all and so stretchy, so once you’re on your 4th day of drinking spicy margs you need not worry about this suit feeling a little too tight.

5. For unique bikinis, these are fun options: a vintage Pucci (I love mine), Saudade Swim (a Colombian brand) and Tropic of C.

6. I always toss a white tank in, this Line by K one is my favorite and so versatile.

7. I am very much into a little heel with a floral appliqué. I ordered a pair for my trip, but sadly they didn’t arrive in time. I can’t find any brands doing this right now so I found some vintage options: here, here, here, and here!

8. Silky, drapey pants for when you are sick of wearing dresses.

9. White Lotus vibes in the best way: A vintage Missoni poncho to throw on over a swimsuit.

Body

1. I swear by my Nuxe shimmering body oil but it’s kind of a pain to travel with so I have started using this Patrick Ta balm to give me that sexy, glowy look.

2. An old favorite! Perfumed oil straight from Tahiti. Smells exactly like vacation.
