It was a relaxing day at the beach, with no itinerary or list of things to do. Of course, I was more than happy to spend quality time with the little one and the husband–we spent the whole day eating, swimming and playing with the sand.

As you already know, I’m a big fan of wearing anything lace (or crochet for that matter) at the beach. It just works, and I always make sure to pack my favorites for any beach trip. This top from Mango is a beach staple–it is so easy to mix and match it with any kind of shorts, pants, or skirt; while these Alice McCall lace pants are both stylish and comfortable. I always get compliments when I wear them out.
