June is nearly here, the sun is shining, and the streets are alive with the sound of happy hours spent outdoors. The fashion girls are back in their maxi skirts and matching sets— suddenly, it’s like winter's sub-zero temperatures never even happened.

My summer travel plans are coming together, with a trip to France and London already on the books. But first, I’ll be checking into the legendary (and ultra-luxe) Delano Miami Beach for my first-ever PARAISO Miami Swim Week. I couldn’t be more excited to touch down in the nation's most fun zip code and experience everything that Swim Week has to offer. From runway shows to late-night dinners, I know my luggage will be jam-packed with outfits that can keep up.

Miami isn’t the place to play it safe, so I’m stepping outside my style comfort zone and fully embracing the city’s unapologetically extroverted energy. My most colorful pieces are officially making their return for the summer, going straight from under-bed storage into my suitcase. Think breezy dresses, reliable footwear, and, of course, SPF. Keep reading for the editor-approved picks I'll be reaching for all summer long.
