Whether you’re planning on jet-setting to the nearest island soon, or dreaming of a beach come summer, DFW Style Daily has your vacay shopping needs covered. In fact, today’s edition of
Stealing It practically
demands a well-deserved getaway.
Sourcing the season’s best sandals, shades, and swimwear for under $100, our list leaves you plenty of green to plot a course to your favorite far-flung destination.
The Cover-Up: A chic cover up is the key to maximizing destination days. Our picks from Zara, JCrew, and Nasty Gal (
left to right) will take you from surf to seaside hot spot in a second. Simply add baubles and heels to make a speedy transition.
Price Tags: Zara’s red tunic, $60;
JCrew’s printed dress, $88;
Nasty Gal’s white shift, $48
The Bikini: We try not to play favorites, but Topshop’s black-and-white bikini is our current swimwear obsession. Pair it with brights or other graphic items for a polished look. Prefer a print? Go for H&M’s pretty purple ruched suit.
Price Tags: Topshop’s bikini, $60;
H&M’s printed bikini, $13 & up
The Sandals: On-trend and
way under budget, Forever 21’s basket weave sandals and strappy flats channel two of spring’s major musts - bold black-and-white and transparency, respectively. Topshop for Nordstrom’s chunky flatforms (
at top) also rank among our top picks.
Price Tags: Forever 21’s sandals, $20 and
flats, $15;
Nordstrom’s flatforms, $64
The Beach Bag: Since a successful sandy adventure requires a lot of stuff, we’re beachy keen on carryalls by ASOS, Nine West, and Duro Olowu for JCPenney (
clockwise from top). Toss in everything from fedoras to Frisbees, then tie the handles with a sunny scarf.
Price Tags: ASOS’s bag, $22;
Nine West’s tote, $44;
JCPenney’s tote, $50
The Accessories: We don’t recommend rocking too much bling with your bikini, but just a few accessories couldn’t hurt. We love non-profit Mission Lazaro’s leather bracelet, a relaxed hat from Dillard’s, Sunglass Hut’s shades by Vogue, and a rough-cut ring from Urban Outfitters.
Price Tags:
Bracelet, $10;
Hat, $24;
Sunglasses, $80;
Ring, $28
