Sucker for Stripes
There’s rarely I stripe I haven’t loved. Any walk into a J. Crew store has me unconsciously pick up a striped tee. A reason to walk into Petit Bateau is for a striped boat neck top and Marc Jacobs, Splendid and Ella Moss always have stripes no matter the season. Pick up a striped anything and you can add your theme whether it be parisian, nautical, prep or just simply classic.

In the Shade
Packing for vacation is always fun and when it encompasses days filled with swimming in the ocean, walks on white sand beaches and days chillin’ on a fancy boat it also brings up protection in my mind. Protection from the sun. Time to shop for the best ways to get a little shade besides SPF.
