Some Early Spring + Resort Thoughts.

5


As I write this, I don’t have any exciting travel plans or warm-weather getaways planned. A few of my girlfriends and I were toying around with a warm-weather adventure; I’m crossing my fingers and my toes that we can make that happen. Otherwise? Nada! Still, warm weather clothing is in my mind, and I don’t worry too much about when I will wear my warm weather things as Spring in Charleston is very warm. In a month or two, my backyard will be its own little mini resort. But I’d still really love to go somewhere fun!

Also, Did you read this Marie Claire piece about the fisherman aesthetic? I’m into it.

On the jewelry front, I am most excited about shell pieces. I have felt this way for the past few years (see: 20232024), so this is nothing new, but this year’s shells do feel a little different from last year’s. It’s more clam shells and nautilus vs. scallop shells? I’m also very into fish motifs.

Below are some things I’m excited about, but I’ll be wearing my Juju Vera necklace and earrings on repeat, as well as the Marissa Klass pendant I bought last year (it’s perfect on my longer Sherman-Field Chain). I am really into longer necklaces (I always have been; they look better on me), and I’m glad there are so many good ones out there right now.

Crochet pieces in neutrals. I have seen so many interesting crochet tunics and dresses, but my top two are this crochet mini dress and this one from Sea, which I just pre-ordered. These types of dresses are so versatile and will easily transition between dinner and the beach.

Matching sets are always a good idea. I just got this cute one (top + shorts) from Mirth and love it. You can use GRACE15 for a discount at Mirth. It will look very cute with the fish necklace. I will probably treat myself to another set from Molli, but I am still deciding on that, as their pieces are more expensive.

I’m feeling fisherman’s nets. You don’t have to spend a lot of money here: this $16 3-pack of net bags is perfect. Longchamp’s Le Pliage is a classic, and I like the idea of doing it in a more outlandish color, like lime green. This straw bag has similar fisherman vibes and is in my cart.

In non-net-related bags, I was also looking for something interesting to carry at night, and I love the pearlescent tiles on this Cult Gia bag. I carried it to a black tie event over the weekend and got so many compliments. Lastly, one affordable gem: this Target bag is fantastic!

A new swimsuit. Just one because I have a lot of swimwear. I am really loving the look of this black & white striped one-piece. Use GRACE15!

Feminine dresses. It is floral maxi madness down here in Charleston for good reason. It gets hot and we need breezy options (but also length as it gets so windy!). The options below fit that bill (climate-appropriate) without feeling like a Stepford wife. I try to use jewelry and shoes to keep the look feeling a little less precious.

On my feet:

Some things I want to try out.

  • Silky boxer pants from Comme Si. I love this pattern; a collab with Le Sirenuse!
  • How fun is this fringe skirt from Simon Miller? It’s a little out of my comfort zone, but I ordered it last week. I see myself wearing it with a shorter white tee, a black bodysuit, or something neon yellow or chartreuse.

Things I can’t wait to pull out:

  • My favorite strappy sandals from Loeffler Randall. They are that rare shoe that is wildly comfortable but also a little sexy. I wore them on Saturday night and danced all night!
  • My many Stylest one-piece swimsuits. These are the best. They have shaping panels but look very chic and are still comfortable. I have four and feel so good in them. (I told you I have a lot of swimwear!) I am extremely tempted by the yellow.
  • A pair of lime satin green Prada slides that I bought at the end of last summer — I can’t find a photo or link anywhere, but they are amazing, and they came at the tail end of the season and barely got any wear.
  • Kaftans, always. Any of my La Vie Style House pieces are always a favorite.
  • All of my “dad” sandals. I bought a gold pair from Chanel four years ago and a black pair from The Row two years ago, and they remain my favorite weather sandals.
