Lust List

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

vacation-all-i-ever-wanted

 

Everything about this lust list makes me think about (and want) a European adventure. Just in time for Summer, these picks will have you vacation ready.

 

1. Hat: Eugenia Kim.

I love a great straw hat in the summertime, and this one, with its grosgrain ribbon and unique shape makes it feminine and cool.

 

2. Dress: DVF.

The navy, chiffon DVF dress is easy and breezy, perfect for strolling through museums and dining al fresco.

 

3. Lace Top & Bottom: Else & Else.

Sexy (and matching) underwear to wear under that flirty summer dress!

 

4. Sunglasses: Tom Ford.

Every vacation needs a pair of classic dark sunglasses that go with everything. I love the half-tortoise coloring and rounded silhouette on these Tom Ford frames.

 

5. Lipstick: Tom Ford.

A bright orange-red lipstick that’s matte but doesn’t dry it your lips.

 

6. Sandals: J.Crew.

I really like the deep olive color of these J.Crew stacked sandals. They’re unique but still practical, and would go with so much. I’m also in love with the double ankle strap that not only adds sex appeal, but also stability and comfort!

 

7. Purse: Lanvin.

A crossbody is a great summer bag to throw in the essentials and get going. I often find myself wanting a smaller and lighter bag to sling over my shoulder. This Lanvin had me at first sight! The subtle logo embossed onto the cream leather just looks so rich.

Being from the South, I always found myself to be more of a sundress girl. However, since living in New York, I have a new-found appreciation for throwing on a comfy t-shirt with a pair of jeans for ease. Of course, I still dress the combo up with a cute pair of heels and usually a blazer or leather jacket. I think it adds a bit more polish and style to a work-day outfit.

 

I have a couple graphic tees that I wear on rotation, including a vintage Adidas and super soft Pink Floyd shirt left over from a commercial shoot I worked on. But my absolute favorite is my Hall & Oates concert tee that my husband got me when we saw the duo on tour this year. Jason and I adore H&O, so every time I wear the shirt, I have happy memories of dancing the night away at the concert. And while even though I don’t wear t-shirts often, I think the personal connection makes it even more special when I do.
