JFK to ATH—it's a trip I make every summer. The main purpose is to visit family and friends, but let's be honest. It's the perfect excuse to shop for some gorgeous vacation pieces. That said, packing for Greece (or, honestly, any vacation) is still a challenge. Every year, I overthink it. This time, however, I'm keeping it simple and sticking to the essentials. Thankfully, Zara has come through.
I'm talking about golden-hour dresses that'll guarantee the vacation photo, practical-but-stylish sets, and bikinis that are equal parts comfortable and flattering. (Truthfully, I always end up in a bikini at the beach with a frappé in hand.) Of course, I couldn't forget the summer staple everyone in fashion is wearing this season: classic white linen pants. I highly recommend anything and everything linen. I've got my eye on a few fabulous pieces that'll keep me looking chic and, most importantly, feeling cool in the hot Mediterranean heat.
Here's everything sitting in my Zara cart for this summer's Greece vacation.
