Man, all I can think about in this massive Groundhog Day of a winter is how excited I am for our planned to trip the tropics in a few weeks. I can’t wait to bid adieu to my 349 layers, dry hands, static hair, and pale, pale, oh-so-painfully-pale skin for sunkissed shoulders and bright colors. Hello, warmth. As I was poking around looking for little pick-me-up items to pack for our vacay, I came across a few tings that I’m dying over. First, do any of you chic-peas have the chutzpah to wear this Bond girl cutout one-piece ($450)? Meow. It caught my eye but leaves me very concerned. And it MUST be worn with mirrored aviators (Ray Ban, $160):
Imagine the tan lines…yikes. But, still. Paints a pretty picture. Pack accessories in this great bag (looks so much like a much more expensive Anya Hindmarch style from a year or two back — but SO affordable! — $80) and slip into these great K. Jacques (my favorite sandal brand — $255):
More my speed: a crisp white dress ($120) with a great necklace (OMG, NEED — $36):
You gotta finish with these amazing Choos (don’t they look like they were designed by the same person as the swimsuit above?! — $995):
Add a great little clutch (Anya Hindmarch, $750):
Add some stack-heeled metallic sandals (Loeffler Randall, $350) and a great mini bag ($295):
And, how breathtaking is this tangerine-hued maxi ($495) with these fab drops ($138) and these great dress-up-or-dress-down gladiators ($295):
I like it with this sweet raffia clutch (Anya Hindmarch, on sale for $350):
This tweedy jacket (Milly, $500) also made me stop and stare. I envisioned pairing it with white cut-offs (J. Brand, $155) and some simple white studs (Joomi Lim, $84):
These strappy sandals (B Brian Atwood, $495) would be the ideal complement:
Loveee these colors!
