What to Wear on Holiday.

LOLOL “on holiday.”  Acting as if I’m a Brit.

But seriously: two readers wrote me within a few hours of each other asking what to wear for a trip to the Mediterranean.  Both were looking for a “Euro-chic” vibe, which I took to mean less J. Crew and more Giovanna Battaglia (shown below).

My top picks for that Euro-chic look:

+Anything Dodo Bar Or, and Net-A-Porter has a bunch of their pieces on sale.  I could just see myself boating around the Greek isles in this maxi (on sale for $220).  Get the DBO look for less with this $36 embroidered dress (love!) or this $78 English Factory steal.

+These dramatic but affordable mother of pearl shades ($55) are the perfect accompaniment.

+These lace-up sandals by K. Jacques (on sale for $118) would go with EVERYTHING.

+A fun pinata tote ($140)!

+A statement tassel necklace (on sale for $42).

+A Miguelina crochet crop top ($230) and skirt ($550).  And P.S. — Miguelina has a ton of pieces on sale right now, and I LOVE this OTS mini and this lace playsuit ($152).

+Espadrilles are always welcome footwear on the Med, but these jazzed-up ones from Bill Blass ($220) are pretty epic, especially with a simple LWD or white jeans and a breezy tunic top.  Incidentally, Bill Blass is also responsible for this adorable sandal, which is hands-down the most popular item I’ve EVER featured on my blog!

+The Bill Blass shoe reminds me of this adorable J. Crew printed tee ($29), which I might order a bunch of sizes up and wear over a bikini like this Kiinis style ($120 for top, $165 for bottom).

+Speaking of swimwear, as you know, I’m a HUGE fan of Solid + Striped, and I own and love this one-piece in a seafoam green color ($168), which would be perfect for yacht lounging (a girl can dream).  Lots of suits by this chic line on sale here.

+Love it underneath a breezy coverup like this ($169).

+These gold slides nail that Grecian goddess look ($68).

+A Nannacay purse ($153) finishes the look.

+How AMAZING is this postcard print dress ($148)!??!?   This dress scratches my shopping itch for the amazing tropical prints I was obsessing over just a few weeks ago, especially that dress by Vivetta!!

P.S. — Along the lines of the dress above, I REALLY want this $108 OTS lovely.  I think I’m going to order it for the Fourth…!  LOVE LOVE LOVE.  Also considering snapping up this similar $65 steal!

P.P.S. — I believe Giovanna is actually wearing a Lisa Marie Fernandez bathing suit in the snap above.  SO CHIC.  Get the look for less with this by LSpace or this by Splendid.
