Top // Skirt // Sandals // Sunglasses // Handbag

The past couple of weeks I’ve talked about wardrobe essentials – my warm weather go-tos and overall classics. With summer officially here, everyone has one thing on the brain: summer vacation. Whether you’re taking a big trip or a quick weekend getaway, your vacation essentials should be easy, comfortable and chic.
Summer vacation for me is all about the “S’s”: sunnies, sandals, straw accessories, nautical stripes and chambray (close enough).
Ann Taylor has long been a go-to for elegant classics. I just took my first summer trip and refreshed my wardrobe with some of my favorite “S’s”. I’ve been loving straw bags lately and when I saw this cute pom-pom adorned tote, I knew it was the perfect bag for sightseeing and beach time. It’s lined in fun green fabric and super lightweight for all day wear.
Chambray is one of my favorite summer fabrics and since I already own a jumpsuit and blazer, it was time to add a skirt to the mix. I love the paper bag waist on this one. Bonus points because it has pockets!
Since entering my 30’s I’ve pretty much abandoned stilettos save for a few special occasions. I much prefer a block heel and these beauties are not only sexy, but oh-so-comfortable. With a padded footbed and super soft suede, they go with everything and can be worn all day. They come in six colors (I may have to get the toffee ones too).
And who could deny a nautical strip for summer? Crisp and classic, the pattern pops against dark and light colors alike. This sleeveless sweater is super flattering and has multiple styling opportunities, a great bonus when on vacation. The keyhole neckline is sweet and versatile. I’m actually wearing it backward!
If you’re in the San Diego area, join me tonight for a Rosé Soirée at Ann Taylor Fashion Valley to celebrate the start of summer! We’ll shop must-have pieces and there will be seasonal sips and snacks. Plus, two lucky winners will take home a tote full of summer getaway essentials. Details below.
