The Four Codes of a Vacation Wardrobe
Montce Bikini, Farm Rio Pants, Magda Butrym Head Scarf, Eliou Necklace
My most recent trip was the kind where the house set the mood before the suitcase was unpacked. We stayed at Casa Rosada in Sayulita, a Summer Thornton-designed house full of color and texture, with pink walls, tiled corners, woven details, and an indoor-outdoor ease that makes everything feel more vacation the second you walk in.
Once I hung everything up, my closet became a little moodboard of its own. Brightly colored swim, tropical printed dresses, raffia and shell details, all of it felt right at home. The look that set the tone, a butterfly bikini top with yellow-and-white printed pants and a crochet headscarf, was the kind of outfit that could only live by the sea.
That spirit carried through everything I packed, and it kept coming back to four codes that, to me, make a vacation wardrobe.
Swim That Dresses Up
The bikini that goes straight from the pool to a long lunch, paired with a printed pant, a beaded necklace, or a wrap skirt. The suit with enough personality to be the outfit.
The Tropical-Print Dress
The dress that does the most with the least effort. The right print holds its own against green palms, pink casita walls, and the wash of a late sunset.
A Textural Moment
Raffia, shells, woven details, sculptural extras. Texture is what gives a vacation look its dimension. A raffia-trimmed bag, a beaded fish clutch, a pair of shell earrings.
The Pareo
The piece that keeps changing the plan. Tie it as a skirt over a bikini, twist it into a top with linen pants, wear it as a wrap once the evening cools down. The easiest way to infuse the unhurried energy of vacation into your look.

Dressed for the Afterglow
Outfit Details: Rixo Dress, Miu Miu Bag, Ancient Greek Sandals, Carolina Bucci Necklace (similar, less expensive here and here)
There’s a specific kind of dressing that only happens as the sun starts to drop. The light goes warm and low, everything picks up a little shine, and I want to be wearing something that catches it.
That instinct is exactly what pulled me toward this Rixo dress. Between the mirrored embroidery and the rainbow watercolor effect, it’s the kind of piece that feels special without trying too hard. Fun, a little dazzling, easy to fall for. This edit follows the same idea. Every piece has some shine, sparkle, or bit of embellishment that comes alive as the day winds down, all in those warm, glowy tones that feel just right for July nights.
Multi Stone Necklace
The rainbow stones on this necklace add jewelry-box color against sun-warmed skin.
Silk Halter Top
Silk draping with its high neckline make this halter top feel striking for golden-hour plans.

Amazon Sundays: Get Ahead on Back to School
This week’s Amazon Sunday is all about getting ahead on back-to-school supplies while summer is still very much happening. I’m soaking up the last of it, but the first day always has a way of sneaking up right behind me. The idea is to have the necessities prepped and ready to go now, so that when the morning actually comes, the only thing left to think about is packing lunch.
I pulled together the pieces that make the transition feel easier, from a lunchbox that keeps everything fresh to craft supplies and notebooks. Then all the things that keep routines organized, like a label maker, family calendar, and a restock on my favorite stain treater.
Browse the full selection below, and explore more in our JB Amazon Shop and Amazon Storefront, refreshed weekly.
Personalized Backpack
A personalized backpack makes the first day feel a little more official, and it is one of those pieces that feels just as useful for school mornings as it does for weekend activities.
Kids Art Smock
An art smock is exactly the kind of small thing you are happy to have before the projects start coming home, keeping paint, markers, and glue a little more contained from the very beginning of the school year.

The Matching Set, But Make It Swim
Outfit Details: Montce Bikini & Pants, Eliou Necklace (old, similar here), Janessa Leone Hat, Ancient Greek Sandals, Retrosuperfuture Sunglasses
There is something so satisfying about a matching set, that feeling of being put together head to toe with almost zero thinking required. Swimwear makes an especially good case for it. I love when a suit has a second act, a sarong, a pair of pants, or a linen dress cut from the same print, so the move from pool to lunch barely counts as an outfit change. The last thing I want to think through is an elaborate look when the whole point of the day is relaxing by the water.
That is what a set like this solves. It adds polish and intention to beach dressing, building a look full of color and personality that still makes sense for a swim but can carry you through the rest of the day.
