Nothing against Netflix and chill, but summer means it's time to get up and get spontaneous. What to wear when you have no idea what the day will bring? Allow our models, real-life BFFs Eleonore ("Leo") Toulin and Marcel Castenmiller, to demonstrate as they spend a sizzling weekend in Atlantic City taking in the salty surf, cheesy carnival rides, and feeling-lucky casino vibes. Here's everything you need to steal their enviable style.
Outfit Idea #1: Mix stripes with abandon. We love the movie star glamour of a blousy top and midi skirt.

Outfit #2: All you need is cutoffs. Show off your glow in crisp white ones and a classic bikini (don't forget a touch of bling).
Shop the Look: Araks 'Elias' Bikini Top, $120, nordstrom.com; Madewell Circle Pendant Necklace, $38, nordstrom.com; Topshop MOTO Clean Rosa Shorts, $50, topshop.com

Outfit #4: Want extra mileage out of a cool dress? Cinch at the side to transform it into an even cooler top. Finish with fun and flirty heels.
Shop the Look: Topshop 'Belfour' Split Sleeve Silk Dress, $190, nordstrom.com; Mango Cotton Trousers, $46, mango.com; Jeffrey Campbell 'Lelaina' Platform Sandal, $110, nordstrom.com
Outfit #5: A skinny neck scarf takes your look from regular to rockstar. Bonus points for a graphic bag and towering-yet-comfy platforms.
