After many long winter months on the East Coast in New York City the only thing on my mind is going on a beach vacation. Warm weather, tropical cocktails, summer outfits, all of the things I love. One of the most exciting things about getting ready to go on an adventure is planning out all of the outfits you're going to bring with you.
I get so excited shopping through my favorite retailers looking for maxi dresses, sun hats, swimsuits, and open-toed sandals to wear to beachfront dinners. I have a theory that "vacation me" is the best version of me. No stress, no obligations—just great outfits and pina coladas. Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Revolve have been retailers I can rely on for all of my fashion needs so when I'm looking for new vacation picks those three are where I go.
