Summer is just around the corner - really it is - and shopping for the season doesn’t feel quite as overly-optimistic as it has for the last month. I am plotting my summer getaway, booking tickets, and already anticipating all the style looks I want to bring with me. I don’t know about you but I want the perfect look for each location, and not just for photo ops, but to step out of my everyday life into full on jet-setter mode. This year I intend to feel the sand in my toes, the sun and salt on my skin, and the wind in my hair, and having the perfect beach tote and accessories is a must. And I don’t want to destroy my summer shopping budget in the process. I need a beach look that give a style upgrade, rather than tossing a bunch of pieces together that have nothing to do with each other, and that won’t break the bank. This year’s top three beach style trends are minimal neutrals, ombre shades grounded with blacks, and holographic pastels, all of which means I’ll be leaving my canvas and bamboo beach bags with mismatched accessories at the back of my closet.
