Confirmed: This Is the Chicest Mediterranean Getaway on Instagram
Of all the dream getaways flooding your Instagram feed on an hourly basis, Rocky Barnes's trip to Corsica just might top the list. She attended the Calvi on the Rocks electronic music festival with cult French brand Ba&sh, and naturally, her 'grams were insanely stylish. So what does one pack for a Mediterranean getaway with 1.3 million followers waiting to see what you'll wear?
"For summer travel trips, I tend to go a little brighter and a little more adventurous with my wardrobe," Barnes told us. "It's crazy how much better things look barefoot on the beach with a good tan. I also love layering on the accessories. When you are wearing next to nothing on the beach, accessories have their time to shine!"
Scroll down to see the three must-have items she packed for Corsica.
"I always pack a patterned maxi skirt or dress—the perfect layering piece to go from beach to night. It's free-flowing and for hot summer nights goes great with a bikini top without feeling underdressed," says Barnes.
"A bikini is an obvious necessity," says Barnes. "I have been loving solid pieces that double as tops or bodysuits. Multi-use pieces are a huge bonus."
"I also love statement tops, sequined or patterned," Barnes tells us. "I love pairing them with vintage denim for another effortless day-to-night look."

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
