Buy Now, Save for Summer

Inspired by the clothes she saw on holiday in Ibiza, New Yorker Leslie Bettison returned to the city and opened a boutique to import some of her favorite designers, many of them not otherwise found in the U.S. The result, Sol de Ibiza, sells beautiful, floaty pieces that put my beach getaway daydreams into overdrive (somehow looking over the inventory I just felt compelled to re-watch The Blue Lagoon, the most iconic expression of island fantasies ever). Now is a particularly good time to shop, since nearly everything in the store is on sale. Spanish designer Charo Ruiz is amazing with Picture_12Picture_13 white cotton and lace—just look at this unbelievably pretty double-layered dress with an asymmetrical hem ($162, was $270) and this finely detailed V-neck blouse with flared three-quarter-length sleeves ($141, was $188). I've also been fawning over Piluca Osaba's embroidered tunics, especially this one with intricate allover black stitching ($133, was $190). To round out the assortment, there are Picture_14 classic espadrilles, like these with a walkable two-and-a-half-inch wedge heel ($87, were $145) or these pale gray flats ($75, were $125).

Funny but awesome strategy, this buy now, wear later. Plus as an added bonus buying summery island clothes now helps make me feel less oppressed by this winter! Thanks for the tip.

Great Find!! Perfect timing for my trip to Miami next weekend... Maybe you don't need to wait for the summer! I just hope I still fit in a small :-)

To the person going to Miami...save your money for when you get there! There's plenty of off the beaten path places to shop in S. Miami and Aventura, not to mention all the usual suspects in SoBe that will be on sale. There are whole boutiques dedicated to beachy, mediterranean style clothes. Try Espanola Way if your on the Beach or Aventura Mall if you venture to N. Miami. I'm so jealous of you!
