Kicking things off with one of my travel outfits, I'm showcasing two new items—the Cala de la Cruz bikini and The Row barn tote—paired with two older favorites. The shorts have been my go-to for wearing with beach attire for several years since they’re unlined, giving them a lightweight and flowy look. The robe, which I purchased about five or six years ago from Sleeper, is no longer in stock, although I did find one on The RealReal for anyone interested!

Barn Mini Leather-Trimmed Striped Mesh Tote
If you're in search of a chic, non-basic white button-down, this is the one. It features hooks and buttons on the sides that allow you to cinch the waist, offering a flattering yet simple look. If you head over to Nordstrom, you can see another styling option where the front is crisscrossed. My mom spotted it on me and instantly bought it in both colors, which is always a telling sign of quality.

Yara Poplin Shirt
This was my travel outfit from a few weeks ago, and while I wholeheartedly recommend the sweater and sneakers (as I have previously), I need everyone to stop and purchase these poplin pants from Banana Republic immediately. They strike the perfect balance between polished and casual; I never want to wear anything else right now. The bag I adore was not only my travel companion but also my beach tote throughout my trip. It’s lightweight, holds a lot, and is oversized without looking ridiculous.

One of my favorite outfits from my trip was not only because of its appearance but also due to its ease and comfort. I paired an Andie gingham one-piece with white boxer-style shorts from Revolve (a last-minute find), and when I wasn't at the beach, I wore my fun new tee by Em on Holiday over it. The blue matched perfectly, and anyone who knows me understands that nothing brings me more joy than a great T-shirt.

If you want to refresh a white dress or transform an old one, playful accessories are the answer. In this look, I matched an incredibly flattering Dissh midi dress, which on me is a maxi, with my cherished Olympia le Tan clutch and a vibrant summer necklace. I can envision wearing this dress repeatedly, switching up the jewelry, bag, shoes, or all three. I would equally adore it styled with all black or neutral accessories for another occasion.

I am so fond of this Madewell dress that I've worn it at least once a week, often twice, for the past two months. It's airy, comfortable, flattering, versatile, and, importantly, it's black! What more could anyone ask for?

Smocked Maxi Dress
These are two newer pieces that I enjoy wearing together, as shown above, but I've also incorporated them into many different outfits separately. The top comes with a matching skirt, creating an adorable cover-up set. The shorts are a bloomer-style and particularly flattering, and I've styled them with everything from tanks to cardigans.

Bebi Cotton Bloomer Short
This outfit is my go-to whenever I'm unsure of what to wear. It features a flattering smocked tank, black cargo pants, and platform sandals for some extra height. My taffeta pants are sold out but still available in poplin, and while my sandals are out of stock in burgundy, they are still available (and on sale) in black! These are three elevated basics you’ll
