WHAT TO WEAR: SPRING BREAK
Spring’s a comin!
Dude. Finally. I’ve been freezing my a** off for wayyyy too long. It’s exhausting. This groundhog needs to hurry up and pop his little ugly head out before I lose it. Where’s everyone going this year? I heard Puerto Rico is gonna be a vibe. I wish. I try my best to think warm, Puerto Rican thoughts when I’m dusting, like, 10 lbs of snow off of my car. Here’s some sea-side vibes for ya: sparkles, sequins, and halter tops, oh my!
That’s right. We’re gonna take a memo from Britney and Paris this year.
**Before anyone yells at me, yes, I know the costs on these babies run high. I know it is not the typical college spring break budget. You all know the drill: unfortunately, sustainability and incredibly detailed, hand crafted items run pricey. I know, it sucks. But hey — it’s worth it. As someone that shops sustainably and has collected some expensive pieces over time, I swear. It really is worth it.
Toppy little tops
Ateleio - sharon top
If I had the money for this right now, it would be over. For those who knew me, and for my bank account. I am praying to god this top gets restocked in my size when I’ve got any money to my name. Can’t wait. A top like this is a literal work of art — look at the stitching and detail. Are you joking? It’s not a want, it’s a need.
IdÁH - Faerie Halter Top
Oh absolutely. I actually don’t love how this is styled, however. If it were me (and I really want it to be), I’d pair with some soft & semi-sheer linen white pants. Plus, a high volume pony. You’ll be the talk of the town. Or I guess, the talk of the beach.
rat & boa - bibi blouse
A dramatic top like this has sooo many functions, and I love that!! Wear as a cover up for that lil bikini, or as a top with a pretty, lacy bra or bralette under and add a flowy skirt for some drama. Layer with gold jewelry.
bottoms
TANK AIR - Jellyfish Midi Skirt
Midi skirts are so in. They honestly really don’t get the praise they deserve. What I really love about them is that you don’t completely lose showing off your legs. Why not? We’re young. The frilly, lacy detail on this piece just really gives ocean-side for me. It should for you, too.
DANIELLE GUIZIO - KNIT SIDE TIE SHORT
Literally dial 911 because I am hyperventilating and foaming at the mouth for these adorable little booty shorts. Wear to beach clubs with platform flip flops and a pretty little tank.
DANIELLE GUIZIO - JEWELS SKIRT
Guizio can literally do no wrong. I love the gold and slightly sheer look, especially on the beach. I’m not a huge fan of this set together, but I absolutely adore the idea of this skirt with a white tank and a boat load of gold jewelry.
JEWELRY

Real tears are coming out of my eyes RN. Something about hand-made jewelry — especially when it isn’t plastic or cheap looking — really just makes me so happy inside. I lurvvv a good statement piece. Especially with a chic, simple outfit!
Joiana Jewelry
EEEEEK! Heart eyes AF. I love a lariat necklace! They’re so chic and dainty looking. I love how they give that subtly sexy vibe as if to say, “look over here.” Especially this one, except it’s the coastal version. I’d invest, if I were you.
Ok I’m sorry for this little disclaimer, but it’s the protective friend in me. As my parents always say, make good choices. But, in case you need a little reminder, here it is.
Spring Break Safety:
WEAR F*CKING SUNSCREEN. It does not prevent you from getting tan. It actually just protects you from looking like an old leather glove at 40.
Don’t get into a car with anyone you don’t know. I don’t care how cute they are.
Once you’re drunk, STOP DRINKING.
Watch your drink at all times.
When transporting your drink, hold it by carrying it on top, your hand covering the rim of the drink.
Do not take any substances from anyone, ever.
You’re better off paying for an Uber than getting snatched off the beach or street.
So please, for the love of god, make good choices.
