Gap « come to coco

Since moving to San Francisco, I’ve become a pro at taking cross-country flights to visit family and friends. No matter if I’m traveling for a week or a quick weekend, I’ll only take a carry-on bag (a perk of having three sisters & their closets at my disposal). We’ve been looking forward to celebrating our friends’ wedding in the Cape for months and it’s finally here! Yes, I am already packed:

J.Crew textured summer straw hat
Persol folding 714 sunnies
Gap flared shirtdress
Oscar de La Renta tassel clip-on earrings (on sale)
CP Shades linen v-neck
AG Bonnie distressed shorts in white (on sale)
Calypso St. Barth ivy solid cashmere scarf
ASOS Swing dress in stripe
Reiss Crawford floral dress (on sale)
Manolo Blahnik open-toe elastic slingback sandal in beige (on sale)

Years ago I attended my first Coachella festival. Let me tell you, the people watching doesn’t get much better. You see everything. My sister is desert bound in a couple of weeks and is on the hunt for some Coachella duds. While festival style isn’t really my thing, I can’t help but look to Kate Bosworth for inspiration. In my opinion, she always gets it right. She carries that effortlessly cool, Southern California vibe so well without going overboard like so many other attendees. My advice? Keep it simple like Kate with a classic pair of sunnies, sandals, and wispy dress to beat the heat.
