While I personally consider Memorial Day Weekend the unofficial start of summer, the season doesn't technically kick off until June 21, which means there's still plenty of time to build the ultimate wardrobe. That said, with temperatures hitting 80ºF in L.A., I've already started dressing accordingly. There's something about summer collections that feels so much more exciting than any other season. Maybe it's the bold colors, playful prints, or the fact that the looks get to shine without heavy layers covering them up. Whatever it is, I'm so here for it.
This summer, I'm staying away from anything too minimal and leaning into statement-making pieces. While doing some seasonal shopping at Bloomingdale's, I came across the new Aqua x Agua Bendita collaboration—my jaw dropped to the floor. The collection is filled with flowy dresses, playful bottoms, and standout tops that feel extra whimsical and fun. Between the vibrant prints, unexpected color combinations, and eye-catching silhouettes, every single piece feels like it was made for summer plans, whether it's a tropical vacation, rooftop dinner, or sunset beach picnic. Trust me when I say this: this collection won't stay in stock for much longer.
Dresses
These dresses are anything but boring. I'm obsessed with the boho-chic energy they give off. I plan on wearing more dresses this season, and this collection feels like the perfect place to start.
Bottoms
A bold printed pant or skirt is exactly the kind of piece I want in my summer wardrobe right now. It's a great switch-up from my usual rotation of white linen pants and denim shorts. Pair them with matching tops for a bold look, or style them with a simple tank and let the bottoms be the star of the show.
Tops
I feel like most of the summery tops in my wardrobe right now lean pretty simple, so these accent pieces feel very necessary. They make an outfit feel more interesting without requiring much effort. Just like the coordinated bottoms, you can wear them as part of a matching set for a fashion-forward look, or pair them with more understated bottoms to let the tops have their moment.
More Must-Haves From the Collection
The fun doesn't stop there. As someone who believes every part of a wardrobe deserves attention—including swimwear—I immediately added these pieces to my wish list too. And don't get me started on the beach towel. It might be the cutest one I've ever laid my eyes on.
