And just like that, summer is upon us, which means summer travel is also on the horizon. If you're anything like me, planning vacation outfits is almost as much fun as planning your actual vacation. Whether you're getting ready for a European summer or simply daydreaming of far-off destinations, browsing for chic vacation pieces is an instant mood booster. I am lucky to be heading to the South of France this summer, so it's safe to say I've been on the hunt recently.
