Dear Girlfriends,

Warm weather is upon us and that means that it’s time to head for the water. Girlfriends, soon your inbox will be filled with invitations to cookouts, beach soirees and poolside parties as well as evening cocktails. How do you pack for fun in the sun then make the transition to drinks and dinner?

Here is a quick guide to pack the ultimate day-to-night bag:

First, make sure that your “beach” bag is fabulous and something you don’t mind toting with you all day. Leave the canvas bags for grocery shopping! A summer statement in straw with copper, cocoa and clementine satin blossoms–it’ll carry your look.

 

You’ll need something to read while you’re relaxing. Stash a copy of The Little Black Book of Style in your tote for the perfect beach or poolside read.

 

 

Slip your 7 for All Mankind White Roxanne Jeans on under your caftan for flattering daytime-to-evening style. A Diane von Furstenberg caftan acts as a brilliant cover-up by day. At night, put on a white tank, toss the caftan into your bag, throw on a chunky necklace with multi-strands and you’ll have the ultimate in simple evening chic.

 

 

Pack a pair of jeweled or fringed sandals for day but don’t forget the heels, diva! Stash a gorgeous pair of tribal or chic platform wedges or sandals at the bottom of your bag for a quick chic upgrade!

 

 

Keep your money, cards, keys, essential cosmetics in a fabulous clutch so when it’s time to move into the evening with style, you’re already properly glam and accessorized!

Girlfriends if you follow at least one of these tips; we are sure you will have a flawless transition from lounging to chic dining in no time flat.

Until the next adventure,

Monica
