And, by recently, I mean in the last 10 days, so you can rest assured my research was up to date, and the pieces I wore are largely still available (and in many cases on sale).

They include everything from Zara and Reformation linen to investment-worthy designer buys and plenty of in-between finds—all of which I ran by my editor colleagues before packing.

After going back and forth on what to style this perfect Reformation top with, I ultimately decided on an all-white look.

A departure from my usual style, I wasn't sure what to style this dreamy Marina Moscone top with until I remembered I had these fun, silky pants that matched the pink in the flowers perfectly.

If you can't tell, I often default to all-white outfits when on vacation. I feel like you can never go wrong.

This was for a beach day that required a little hike beforehand. Thankfully I had worn my beloved sambas on the plane, so I paired them with an easy button-down and linen pants.

It took me about 30 seconds to place my order from J.Crew after seeing this on Who What Wear Editor in Chief Kat Collings. After wearing it, I think swim skirts are going to be my new thing.

Surprise, surprise, it's another Reformation top! I wore this green cropped linen piece backward because I loved the tie detail and paired it with an embroidered jacket and white pants.

I'm really into Dissh right now, and loved that this dress fit me perfectly with no alterations. (At 5'2", that's a big deal.) I added a belt for some waist definition and because I love the all-white with black accessories look right now.

This one-piece by Alexandra Miro was probably the most flattering bathing suit I've ever worn. It comes with a belt, but I opted to skip it since I was styling it with pants.

This is what I quickly changed into right after my flight to walk around town in until our hotel room was ready. I wore the pants on the plane, so all I had to do was swap my T-shirt for this shirt and my sneakers for slide sandals.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
