1. Carefree Tee Dress in Stripe from Athleta
This is a fantastic little number, made from the dreamiest double lined cotton / sustainable lenzing modal blend fabric. Truly my new favorite dress, I wore it to the beach with flip flops, layered it with a denim jacket and sneakers for the farmers market, and dressed it up with sandals for an evening dinner! With pleats, the cutest stripe detail, and cap sleeves, this dress can do no wrong. I'm wearing a size small (which is one size up from my normal XS Athleta size).
2. Road Trippin Shorts from Billabong
These are the comfiest and cutest shorts you will ever own! I love the side detail and the fact that the have an ELASTIC waist (and hello -not pregnant, just enjoy the comfort of a waistband that is forgiving and won't sag by midday!) They are a shorter inseam but don't feel at all exposed. I have these in the olive color and in chambray and am really wanting them in a third color too - I love them that much! I am wearing size small and would say they fit true to size (I'm usually a xs-s in shorts).
3. Ably Luna Cowlneck Pullover in Black
For me sweatshirts are always something I'll throw into my luggage at the last minute and then wear every single day, multiple times a day, all vacation long - it seriously never fails! This cowlneck pullover from Alby is sweatshirt perfection, Fitted and structured, it's polished enough so you don't feel frumpy, but comfy enough that you want to wear it all the time. and since you'll be wearing it all the time, it's so great that it's made out of their signature filium activated fabric that actually repels stains and odors - making it the most perfect vacation pullover of all time. I'm wearing an XS which gives it a more fitted look. If you want a more loose fit or feel then I would for sure size up.
4. Saha Strappy One Piece in Klein Blue
Every fantastic beach vacation needs a fabulous swimsuit and I have found bathing suit perfection in this stappy one piece! It's the prettiest shade of blue, has slight padding on the cups, moderate-full booty coverage (don't even get me started on what teenagers are wearing to the beach these days...) and the most adorable strappy back and shoulder ties! Seriously, my inbox on IG was blowing up asking for details on this suit. I am wearing a size small and would say it fits true to size.
5. Altra Solstice in Black
If you only have room to pack one pair of shoes on your vacation (flip flops don't count!) then pack these powerhouses! The black knit upper and foot shaped design is super comfortable (I wore them all day at Disneyland - comfortable!) but they are also sleek enough to pair with skinny jeans for a day of adventuring! We tend to log a ton of steps while vacationing, I love to stay where we can walk to lots of things, so if you can combine comfort and fashion all in one shoe - I'm sold! They are also incredible running shoes for logging some glorious vacation runs - double duty shoes are my jam. I wear a 9 in these which is my normal running shoe size.
6. In addition to all of the above I'd for sure also recommend packing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans that pairs with everything, a pair of black leggings, and a stack of your favorite tanks and v-necks in shades of cream, charcoal, black, and burgundy. Add in a lightweight oatmeal colored sweater and you should have a ton of versatile options for mixing and matching all vacation long!
