WANT! Destination Water
Summer, Summer, Summertime! Pardon my Will Smith, but this WANT! Feature is dedicated to Summer fun and specifically any destination that involves water. Since I’m just coming off of a girl’s trip where I spent 90% of my time in some form of water I decided to do a deep dive (no pun) into some of the hottest accoutrements for water destination style. As we all play catch up from a summer lost, let’s get into some fashion that truly celebrates this reemergence of vacations and water wanderlust.
JACQUEMUS LES LUNETTES YAUCO SUNGLASSES ($430)
With a retro aesthetic in orange hues, these two-toned rectangle-shaped sunnies by Jacquemus are a direct hit on summer style. Not only do these shades come in a trendy transparent design with gold hardware, but they also come with protection because accidents do happen. A poolside must!

JOHANNA ORTIZ AGATE ANTOLOGIA ANCESTRAL EARRINGS ($280)
They say don’t bring sand to the beach, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t apply to seashells. These hand-woven beachy drop earrings feature Iraca palm fibers by Juanita Castilo’s artisan association based in Colombia, which empowers women artisans from Sandoná while preserving their heritage. There is nothing more glamorous than style with a purpose.
