We are finally in the full swing of summer and a typical schedule could include lounging poolside, dining outdoors and getting some cardio by walking to your favorite boutiques.
The endless days bring endless possibilities and you need a wardrobe that can keep up with it all. Each season we can expect a fresh variation on our favorite items, and this year brings high-waisted bikinis and floral one-pieces, colorful sandals that slide or strap on, oversized metal and plastic frames in all colors, monochromatic pastel looks and much more. Wherever the day takes you, we’ve got you covered.
