BRUNCH TO BEACH<br />

by Sylvia Tennant | fashion columnist<br />

Dressing for summer in the city has taken on new<br />

meaning for me this year. Since the early signs of<br />

spring, I’ve begun slowly streamlining my warm<br />

weather staples to accommodate both a polished<br />

appearance and the relaxed vibes of my seaside<br />

location. Curating a sophisticated yet beach-ready<br />

wardrobe is not easy (I’m reluctantly kissing my<br />

beloved cutoffs goodbye) however I’m getting<br />

creative with multi-purpose accessories that<br />

translate effortlessly to ocean-side essentials any<br />

day of the week.<br />

SUMMER’S IT BAG<br />

Alexander Wang’s final collection<br />

for Balenciaga was by far his best.<br />

Inspired by his California roots, the<br />

ivory-colored collection featured<br />

relaxed styling and one particularly<br />

beautiful woven beach bag. The<br />

quirkiness of the fringe detail<br />

makes this the perfect lighthearted<br />

statement piece that has enough<br />

room for all of your necessities.<br />

GIRL’S GOTTA HAVE A HAT<br />

Eugenia Kim’s hats are a social media<br />

phenomenon. Bloggers featured her “Do<br />

Not Disturb” Sunny hat heavily this year, but<br />

I’m coveting the less floppy “Daydreamer”<br />

version. The natural colour and black suede<br />

embroidery is chic for weekend brunch, and<br />

the boater hat design provides practical sun<br />

coverage. (Eugenia Kim Brigitte Hat, $375)<br />
