Just because you never did a semester abroad and haven’t found the time to actually use your passport doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t experience the luxe international life. Put down that copy of Travel & Leisure though, and stop torturing yourself, because Christmas vacation is still a distant dream at this sweltering juncture in the calendar year. Instead, channel your inner jet-setter by throwing on some inspiration from beyond the continental US.
- Brazilian applies to more than just a waxing, and in Tyler Rose Swimwear’s Oscar Bikini you’ll be thankful you have one, despite the pain involved. A less painful tribute to the Girl from Ipanema, this bikini takes the concept of Carnival to a new level. Ruched sides and low-rise bottoms are bossa nova bold, and the color is crush-worthy orange, and will make you the envy of even Gisele. Throw on some Havianas in an equally bright lime green and you’re half-way to Rio.
- Stop Waiting in Vain to go to Jamaica and let Adidas’ Rasta J Superstar II bring out the tomboy in ya, mon. Style factor on these pups is higher than Bob Marley making the Kingston-cool kicks your Redemption Song after too many nights in mile-high stilettos.
- Monica Bellucci has nothing on you when you don Italian designer Missoni. Zig Zag Print Tank Dress is Italian fashion at its best, transporting your curvy silhoutte to the Palazzo Pitti instantaneously and making you more dangerous than a shotgun, like just like Fabrizio says.
- Rivalry shmivalry, we love all things French, who are we trying to kid?! Baguettes, French kissing/toast/doors/fries/cheese are the finer things in life! Say Oui to the skillfully detailed Gold Hawk Long Metallic Top. The gold threading sparkles as beautiful as the Cote d’Azur, and soft, elegantly draped sleeves lap at your wrists like the Riviera’s Mediterranean.
- Invoke the luck of the Irish with DaNang’s Dublin Blouse. Oxford-like detail makes it tough-enough to withstand knocking back whiskey with the boys, but semi-sheer, pale, shamrock green juxtaposes elements of the feminine. Just don’t bust out a jig in the midst of your Jameson stupor.
- Walk like an Egyptian in King Tut-worthy gold jewelry Rachel Leigh, like her Animal Charm Bracelet. Add Marcia Moran’s Gold Plated Bracelet—or two or three if you really wanna glam it up—for an arm adorned so beautifully it would make the Phoaroe himself jealous.
- Be Taj Mahal worthy in Natalie Anne’s Indian Tunic; it reminds you that the East is really not so Far after all. Pay tribute to the colorful culture with clothing that is equally rich in both fabrication and palette, like Adrianna Papell’s Aqua Silk Chiffon Beaded Gown.
