holiday in

My summer plans remain up in the air, but at least I can still fly off to holiday chicdom. My non-stop ticket comes via Lisbon-based sun-tinged, sandal-wearing Mafada Patricio. Her inspirational style is founded in simple, earth-toned silhouettes, accented with unique, retro-spirited accessories--all of which work exceptionally well for me here at home. Let's start with her signature flowy dresses and skirts: above by Gestuz, skirt below by Pinko, last pic La Double J, and also this on-sale stunner and this. Then there are her classic striped tunics by Kule (pictured) and feminine eyelet blouses by H&M and Place Nationale. It's all punctuated by large, roomy beach bags (Loewe, above), statement sandals by Arizona Love, above, Melissa jelly sandals, below (ringers for this season's Celine!), a print bucket hat and a sparkly Oseree swimsuit for good, fun measure. Take me away!
