Vampire "Spring Break" Weekend...

"Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her,
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager"

-Vampire Weekend "Ottoman"


Today I realized that spring break is right around the corner and I've recently been inspired by Vampire Weekend's new album, Contra. Vampire Weekend is known for their Cape Cod attire which has been instilled in my mind as perfect sunny weather fashion. Take note, everyone, and listen to their album while you lay-out by the seaside!




-Ray-Ban "wayfarers" are a must to pull off this style. 
They've always been a staple of every prep wardrobe as 
made popular by The Official Preppy Handbook by Lisa Birnbach.
 
-A straw fedora looks fabulous with any casual outfit 

and will pair perfectly with your striped bikini while you 
lay poolside.
 
-Pack at least one statement necklace. Chances are you'll 

be wearing basic clothes so you'll always have a punch of style 
with one of these.
 
-A long and bright colored cardigan or a school boy blazer 

will be a chic cover up while strolling across the beach. 

-I know we all love our Havaianas and Rainbows, but consider 
an interesting leather sandal to replace your
 go-to flip-flop.

-Acqua di Parma perfume has a clean scent that will never seem 
like too much while you're on vacation.
 
-A bright canary yellow dress may seem like too much to 

some, but you'll realize that your new tan will look 
beautiful against this color. Trust me on this one!

 
-Find a nice pair of espadrille heels. This pair by 

Gwen Stefani's fashion brand L.A.M.B will be a match 
made in heaven with everything you pack.
 
-Last but not least, remember your bikini is an outfit! Pack 

one simple one for when you're laying out so you 
don't get a funky tan line, but always pack a few chic ones for 
when you just feel like running around with a mango 
daquiri in your hand (and a cute boy in the palm of your other!)

 

      Cheers!
      with all my love,
      Lily
