Tired of bone-chilling winds, gray skies, and itchy turtlenecks? I am sooooo there with you! Take a cue from Santa’s little helper above and stop dreaming of a white Christmas and start making plans to spend your holiday on a white sandy beach instead! Just make sure that once you arrive to paradise you are dressed for the occasion. After all, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…
1. Even though you’ll be tempted to fling it all off and parade around naked (technically it’s warm enough), take this opportunity to strut around in something airy, lightweight, and easy to transition from the beach to cocktail hour at the tiki bar. Personally, I am ob-sessed with this maxi tank silk dress with a crocheted detailing on the yoke by Miguelina [Leighanne – Silk, $330 on miguelina.com]
2. Sun spots are not cute, neither are wrinkles, sun burns, or tan lines which are can result from over exposure from the sun! Protect your skin and look glamorous doing so in this ultra-chic Helen Kaminski raffia wide angled brim hat, available in both Natural (pictured above) or Charcoal (for an edgier look) [Rashida, $275 on helenkaminski.com]
3. Check out the buns on your cabana boy incognito with these stylish shades by David Yurman! [shop for this vintage-inspired style, the Signature Cable Sunglasses in Tortoise, $295 on davidyurman.com]
