Chic Cruisewear
These days there's more to cruisewear than simple navy blue and white. You can rejuvenate nautical stripes by going with other color combinations and accessorizing to the max, or add some flair to white basics with a colorful tunic or accent piece. Dresses abound, and are appearing this season in everything from crisp white eyelet styles to neutral hues and summery pastels. For an evening cruise, there's nothing like sexy silk and satin in bold colors to set the mood. Bon voyage!

Stylish Summer Totes
Even if you're just headed to the beach or a casual day outing, you can still carry your goodies in a stylish, flirty tote. This summer's hot trend is all about anything woven, plush, or neutral-hued with floral accents like the ones featured here from Glidia Kay boutique in La Jolla. With your favorite bikini and a pair of jeweled thongs (flip flops, that is), you'll be ready to strut the sand in no time. (858/459-1343)
