Well, there’s not one bad thing we can say about our stay in Delray Beach. We just might have to retire here! (And the Dacks, of course.) More on that in a later post. But seriously, my husband Chris first went to Delray as a baby, and he’s loved it ever since. What’s not to love…the beach, tennis (bliss for him, sort of for me), great restaurants, shopping (yay for me), and just a chill vibe. Which we both very much needed.

This is not brain surgery, just the best sunny weather outfit you can make your own. Sundress, straw hat, straw bag, fun slides. It’s that simple.

I love the combination of sleek silhouette and classic summer plaid in this sundress. Yes, you need a strapless bra. But that and a pair of cotton panties, and you’re good to go! Woo hoo!! This hat? All I can say is I had to have it! This bag? A steal from Zara (where else) that EVERYONE commented on. I actually cut the shoulder strap off so it’s just a handheld bag now. In case you’ve been living in Siberia, you must have a straw bag this summer. Cult Gaia started it all (see below). The slides? Zara again. Pearls please! I found the enamel bracelets during our Palm Springs afternoon. LOVE. Will be wearing all Summer. And beyond.
