After our wedding got a bit too exciting thanks to a tropical cyclone that stranded us all on an island, I'm extremely happy to report that the forecast for our upcoming honeymoon in Mallorca is looking delightfully uneventful: 80-something and sunny every day, classic summer weather for this happy little spot in Spain. Like any trip, I'm torn between scooping up some last-minute vacation-ready pieces that I'm convinced capture the vibe (chic and effortless, blah blah, you know the drill) and saving room in my suitcase in case I innocently stumble across some accidental shopping while I'm there.
With the all-too-tempting greatest hits of summer fashion in full swing (leather sandals, excellent raffia shoppers, loads of poplin), I'm leaning toward treating myself to just a few things that feel a little special and are versatile enough to wear both beachside in Spain and in New York when I drag myself back to the city. Here's everything I'm eyeing for my Euro vacation.
I really like this shirt.
Aussie brand Matteau is always my first stop for summer.
Just a fun little set of beaded bracelets that tell everyone you're on vacation and not taking yourself too seriously.
Satin footwear is a whole thing this season, so these minimalist thongs are a great little nod to a trend if trendy isn't really your thing.
Everyone's favorite eyewear collab.
Extremely into beaded sunglass chains, as I'm also extremely into not losing my sunglasses while stepping onto a boat.
She's definitely OOO.
Tried these on in-store and *highly recommend*.
I also tried this on in-store, and I have a very good feeling about it being this trip's perfect day-to-night dress.
Such a good color.
One little pair of heels will be plenty—I've been into a kitten heel of late, but I'm going to need something a little more cobblestone-friendly.
So many sunny hues currently tempting me.
Large enough for a day's worth of crossword books and towels and snacks.
I feel like I'm into the long-shorts trend? Will report back.
It's always the cheaper sunglasses that you never scratch or lose (so make sure they're cute).
The elastic waistband says "long lunch" to me.
New Samba trend incoming.
Oh this brown is *so good*.
A very Euro-vacation shade of green. (Bottoms linked here.)
Very chill.
My pick for an easy shirt.
If I don't snap up a pair of sporty rope sandals before I go, I'm very confident I'll cave while I'm away.
Creamy shorts and a black belt, yes?
Oh, like this one.
I'm ready for a new, great, throw-over-anything blazer.
Bring me all the tops that won't crease in my suitcase!
Just a truly great poplin shirt care of J.Crew.
Teen dream cord necklaces are where I'm at this summer.
Ref really knows how to linen.
This dress with a slicked-back bun is just really speaking to me.
The search is on for some fun gold earrings to rival the anchovies I bought from Lisa Says Gah last summer.
The darker hue makes this shopper feel a little more luxe.
Okay fine, if we're going to talk about luxe raffia totes, let's just do it.
Madewell is really up to something at the moment.
Farm Rio's shirts are as good as a vacation.
One personality cardigan is the only layer I want or need.
An immediate outfit upgrade.
One-size swimwear makes my brain break (I mean—how?), but I have so many friends who swear by their Hunza G bikinis and one-pieces that I'm dying to try.
Overwhelmed by a sudden desire for red sandals.
Another excellent Australian brand that really gets the vibe.
