Straw Bag

Natural seagrass and raffia lined with linen. Created from dyed seagrass and woven raffia, then topped with a fringy, textural pop of green. Pina Colada, anyone?

• Trend: A pineapple is the iconic islanders’ symbol of welcome.
• Wear:  Shopping in seaside boutiques or spending an afternoon poolside – your look is on-trend. Plus, you have room for a bathing suit/towel, cell phone, daily essentials and more!

Jewelry

• Trend: Finely woven raffia with swingy white tassels paired with classic turquoise for a beachy vibe.
• Wear: Throw on and go with this 5-piece stretch bracelet set! Can be worn all together or mixed with other gold bracelets. Easy accessorizing for the beach and effortless for after.

*psst: remember these earrings (below) that I got from Soft Surroundings last summer? I still wear them all-the-time!

Straw Hat

• Trend: Feel like you’re on an island getaway every time you wear it.
• Wear: Hand embroidered along with two bright rings of Caribbean pink and tangerine around the brim are a stylish mood elevator.

Slides/Sandals/Summer Shoes

• Trend: Shimmering metallic leather slides.
• Wear: From poolside to early appetizers to eveing bonfire and shopping in-between – metallic slides like these navy ones will “go” (no need to match) with every outfit, will be comfy, and will be perfection to wear while site-seeing this summer!

Tunic/Cover-Up

• Trend: Easy breezy.
• Wear: Toss on over your swimsuit in the morning before heading to the beach, and transition it from beach to bar by throwing on some simple accessories.
• Still LOVE this embroidery embellished one (below) from last year with a handful of beads and sequins.

Looking forward to wearing these items on the regular this summer – what about you?
