This Week’s 5: Vacation Edit — Here’s What’s New!
Happy Friday! Last week, I launched a new series called “This Week’s 5.” It’s a short guide where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on everything from what’s trending in fashion to styling tips to things that have caught my eye recently. The goal is to keep it short and super useful, like a quick reference for the week. Today is post #3 … I hope you like it 🤍
Last summer, I took a fun little trip to St. Tropez, and talk about fashion inspiration everywhere! My girlfriend and I stayed at the cutest boutique hotel called La Ponche, and all the cobblestone streets were full of cafés with people sipping rosé and eating moules frites. There were breezy linen dresses, Hermés Oran sandals and raffia bags everywhere! It was exciting to visit all the designer stores which were all filled with beautiful beach-inspired collections. What better place to select items for your next vacation edit than the south of France?
Today’s post is about stylish vacation pieces you’ll wear all season long. Think pretty summer dresses, raffia accessories, sea-inspired jewelry and more. Keep reading to see everything I found for you, and a few style tips along the way!

#1 Matching Sets
Monday Swimwear yellow dress & matching swimsuit | Printed Zimmermann swimsuit
Matching sets are everywhere this season, and if you look for coverups that double as dresses, along with matching swimsuits, you’ll have many combinations at your fingertips. Right now is the best selection of the year. See below for some pieces that I think you’ll absolutely love!
Options
Melissa Obadash is a favorite brand, and look at this coverup with the matching swimsuit, along with this cheetah caftan and this swimsuit!
Love this pretty coverup that I’d style with this white swimsuit
Vitamin A has the cutest oversized linen shirts and matching shorts that would also look great with a white swimsuit like this one
Other brands I love include Maryisa, LSpace, Farm Rio and Staud
#2 Raffia Accessories
Chloe woven bag | Straw tote | Straw hat | Gucci bag | Gucci espadrilles
If you’re looking for bags and accessories that go with every single vacation outfit, consider raffia and straw pieces. There are many options at all price points. Whether you like designer brands like Chloe, Gucci or Prada, or want affordable options like J.Crew or Anthropologie, I guarantee you’ll find some things you love.
Options
J.Crew favorites include this best-selling clutch — it sold out last year so don’t wait
For designer options, I love this Prada tote and this Valentino tote and this Chloe wallet on a chain which I styled here
For affordable options, look at this Clare V, this poolside clutch and this Pamela Munson one
#3 Vacation Dress
Having a handful of pretty summer dresses that you can dress up or down is one of the best investments you can make for your summer wardrobe. It also makes getting dressed so much easier! I always bring this cashmere sweater to throw over my shoulders for cooler evenings. Brands that look amazing right now include Quince (linen), Rails, J.Crew, and Farm Rio.
Options
This one from Anthropologie looks like Alémais for under $150. See more Anthro favorites here, and use code SUSIE20 for 20% off through 5/11
For coastal chic styles, look at this and this from Frank & Eileen, and this and this from J.Crew
Love this Rails one, this and this from Doen, and of course Farm Rio — check this out and this one too
#4 Seashell-inspired Jewelry
Pink shell necklace | Gold shell earrings | Bracelet | Starfish earrings | Pearl necklace
Sea-inspired jewelry is having a moment again this season, and talk about a fun addition to every summer outfit! Several years ago while sipping rosé in Italy, a very nice Italian server offered up his $5 shell bracelet after I complimented him and explained I’d been on the lookout 😊 I still wear it mixed in with some of my nicer pieces, and it reminds me the special Italian trip where I met my cousins after a 50 year hiatus!
Options
Brinker & Eliza has some of the best pieces, like this bracelet, this necklace and these earrings
Here is a necklace I’ve been eyeing, it’s so pretty
Also love affordable options like this bracelet and these earrings
#5 Summer Sandals
Gucci sandals | Zara sandals | Gold sandals
Neutral sandals are a win this time of year, and they’re really practical when going on vacation because they go with everything!
Options
These Hermés sandals are favorites, same with these YSL ones, but there are some affordable versions like this, this, and this
Everyone is wearing flip flops this season, like these Veronica Beard ones, these Havaianas and these flip flop heels from Anthro (Use code: SUSIE20)
When it comes to espadrilles, try these new Gucci ones, and for an affordable version look at these by Tory Burch
