“I’m so excited that the world is starting to return to some kind of normalcy, and for all the things we weren't able to do last summer, like see friends and family and travel. This year, we are going to the Dominican Republic for a week to kick off the season, and then we will be spending time by the beach in the Hamptons. We’re also getting a new puppy! It’s going to be quite the adventure. I’m looking forward to running, cooking, going on boat rides, and hanging out with our new neighbors. It’s also nice to think about finally getting dressed up again—I can’t wait to wear fun clothes and have somewhere to go and something to do. Here’s what’s on my summer wishlist, like easy dresses, fantasy swimwear, and beauty essentials, too.” Xx Gucci
THE EASY SUMMER DRESS
Apiece Apart Aberna Shirt Dress
"I like that this dress is chic and easy. I can throw it on to go to the market and feel instantly pulled together."
"Tory Burch is really nailing this season. I love her elevated take on a tunic."
"Looking refined with very little effort is not easy to achieve, but my friend, Totême founder Elin Kling, always pulls it off. This dress is casual but crisp, and very Elin"
THE BEAUTY ESSENTIALS
Westman Atelier Super Loaded in Peau de Soleil
"I'm all about faking a tan. Super Loaded in Peau de Soleil is great for that radiant, golden skin effect. I pop it on before heading out the door, but it also looks nice with a beautiful red lip and a tiny bit of mascara."
"The epic hairstylist David Mallett turned me onto this leave-in mask, which makes my frizzy and coarse hair so smooth. It’s expensive, but a little goes a long way. I swear by it!"
Herbivore After Sun Soothing Mist
"I keep this soothing mist in my bag when I go to the beach. It’s nice to spritz on if your skin feels dry or crunchy after swimming in the ocean."
THE CHIC BEACHWEAR
Lisa Marie Fernandez Black Seersucker Swimsuit
"I’m always in search of a good one-piece bathing suit. I love the shape of this Lisa Marie Fernandez style. Plus, you can never go wrong with black."
"Good cover-ups are the hardest things to find. This pareo has a beautiful, timeless print that would go with pretty much everything."
THE SUSTAINABLE SANDAL
"I'm always looking for sustainable choices that don’t make you feel like you're forfeiting your sense of style. These vegan Birkenstocks will be my go-to."
THE SUNNY DAY ACCESSORY
"I like the weight of this Goop x Mejuri chunky chain necklace. Gold is always so pretty with summer skin."
"I fantasize about wearing this one as a headscarf when I'm on a boat!"
"It’s fun to play with sunglasses and go for an alternative shape or color, like with these light pink Celine sunglasses."
THE SUMMER SIP
"It’s always good to have a variety of drinks on hand—especially ones that won’t make you feel crappy the next day! My favorites are free of alcohol, and serve specific moods: Free Rain has a focus drink, which I like for the afternoon, while Sweet Reason’s CBD-infused bottles are really nice for nighttime. I like to spruce them up with ginger or a lemon slice and serve in festive glasses."
THE TABLEWARE UPGRADE
Moda Operandi Raffia Pitcher & Moda Operandi Raffia Vase
"It feels nice to put a bit more effort into setting the table, even if it’s just a casual dinner. These remind me of summer and will be great for drinks or flowers."
La Double J Desert Plates in Dragonfly
"JJ Martin's eye for color and prints is unmatched. I love how these dragonfly-printed plates add a touch of whimsy to an outdoor table."
Alexandre Turpault Palmiers Tablecloth
"The hand embroidery on this French linen tablecloth is so gorgeous that you don't even need a centerpiece. It instantly transforms your space into a chic tropical paradise!"
