@banniakabreadIf there's one item I'm always packing for a vacation, it's a button-down shirt. They are so versatile that it just doesn't make sense to leave them at home. This pink shirt is a joyous pop of color that will pair beautifully with faded denim and shades of tan for daytime lounging by the pool, and would also look cool with a black maxi skirt in the evening.
The shirt has slits on each side so you can easily tuck the front into pants and leave the back out.
While I'm forever a Daisy Dukes fan, this season is all about longer hemlines. These Pistola shorts hit the thigh at the perfect place and are the best thickness for high temps while maintaining enough sturdiness to hold their shape.
Flip-flops are the sandal of choice this year, and Havaiana's are the best pair on the market.
The long cut in the back makes this bold shirt a perfect beach cover-up. Plus, this orange color is stunning.
Layer this patterned top with other patterns for a very nouveau bohemian look.
Saturated hues are a great way to add energy to your look.

@banniakabreadAs an L.A. girl, 90% of the time I'm in errand attire. For the days I want to still look presentable enough to potentially pop into an event or friend gathering I would definitely reach for this outfit. The button-down instantly disguises an otherwise exercise outfit into an elevated look—nobody's gonna know. The key in nailing this look is the crispness of this shirt which was surprisingly easy to accomplish with a quick steam.
This faded blue color could pass as white from afar and can go with so many looks.
I can't rave enough about this unitard. It's made from a thick stretchy material that holds everything in and has a built-in bra to hold everything up. Plus, the shorts stay put and don't ride up!
Not only do the thick soles make Hokas extremely comfortable, but they also add a literally and figuratively elevated feel to your look.
Asymmetric hemlines are only gaining more and more traction.
The V-neck is begging for some layered necklaces.
Wear this shirt with a long flared skirt, jeans, or even shorts. It's a super-versatile year-round staple.

@banniakabreadThis classic white button-down has the perfect proportions to layer underneath a blazer or jacket. My favorite part is how the long sleeves peek from under your jacket, it just pulls everything together. The roomy arms also allowed me to freely move around without feeling constricted.
This Y2K-inspired skirt is so nostalgic but still looks fresh and new. It has a mid-rise fit with lots of stretch, so make sure to size down.
The smart-casual energy that houndstooth blazers exude always makes me feel so grown. This one looks like the ideal oversized fit to be able to add layers underneath.
This mixed metal chain will go with any outfit! You can also turn it around to show one metal or another depending on the look at hand.
Fun and flirty, these strappy sandals will surely spice up everything from everyday shorts to dresses and skirts.
Sheer is a huge trend on the rise, and Nensi Dojaka is leading the pack. This demurely sexy top strikes the perfect balance.
Pair this cropped top with a high-waisted maxi skirt for a cool play on proportions.
