Take me to the beach.

Flower-Adorned Hair

You don't have to be vacationing or living on an island paradise to get the look that showed up on Diane von Furstenberg's and Anna Sui's runways. Pin back your beachy waves on one side with big blooms — think of it as the new flower crown.

Bucket Hats

Whether you're repping that Rasta life or channeling '70s-era Southern California, there's a beach bum hat out there for you. It's practical too: You get great sun protection without hitting anyone else in the face with a wide brim.

Head Wraps

Keeping your brow sweat-free isn't just practical, it's fashionable. Whether you're going glam like at Naeem Khan or going for a more worn-in look like at Greg Lauren, there's a scarf out there for you and it's one you can wrap around your head.

Under the Sea Bags

Your favorite Disney princess is probably Ariel and you pretty much always have "Under the Sea" stuck in your head. Or you're just into the ocean vibe of spring/summer 2016. There were fish bags from Thom Browne, jellyfish clutches at Edie Parker, and a colorful bag reminiscent of sea kelp at J. Crew.

Ropy Sandals

Ah, breathable, comfortable, stylish flats. What could be better? And no need to worry about sand getting stuck in these shoes — those grains can slip in and out without you even knowing they were ever there.
