Island Style Watch: We Are Channeling Ikat Lately

Ikat Lately
beauty: ikat small cosmetic bag
living: ikat spot placemats
social: gabby dress in fluoro pink ikat
style: sperry katama ikat dot flat
weekender: ikat weekend bag

Our "Island Style Watch" radar has been channeling ikat lately, from cosmetic bags, to placemats, to dresses, shoes and bags. This popular pattern has been around for a long time, but we are coveting the fresh new colors, patterns and styles from some of our favorite designers. It's a summer staple and looks great when paired with soft neutrals or amped up with statement accessories. You can't go wrong, so don't shy away from this must-have of the season!

Style: BCBG's Positively Palazzo Pants

1/2/3/4

This weekend, we are celebrating a bachelorette party and 30th birthday for two of our closest friends at local island hotspots Buccan and Nick and Johnnie's. When going out on the town lately, one of the best ways to be comfortable and stylish is to wear a pair of palazzo pants! A popular style this season, these wild pants are very versatile and can be worn day or night, casual or dressy. We can't get enough of this effortless look and plan to wear this laid back style all summer long!

Two of our favorite ways to style them:

{Daytime}

Lawson Aschenbach and Beth Beattie

Beth wore them with a silk tank, long necklace and nude satchel.

{Nighttime}

Beth Beattie and Ariel Bachman

Ariel wore them with a bright top, beaded necklace and gold clutch.
