What I Packed for St. Martin

Equal parts sun, salt air, and effortless polish—this is the lineup that made it into my suitcase for St. Martin. Think breezy silhouettes, warm-earth tones, and pieces that work from beachside mornings to golden‑hour dinners without missing a beat.

Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Glow Face Shield SPF 50
My non‑negotiable. This is skincare-meets-makeup in the best way—sheer coverage, subtle glow, serious SPF. Perfect for no-makeup mornings that still look intentional.

AMALIA TOP IN EARTHA PAISLEY — Dôen
Soft, romantic, and very “island afternoon.” The Eartha paisley feels vintage without trying too hard, and the lightweight fabric is ideal for humid days. Easy with linen pants, perfect with denim shorts.

Yoshi Stripe Crop Drawstring Pant — St. Bernard
These were on constant rotation. The stripe adds interest, the drawstring keeps it relaxed, and the cropped cut works equally well with sandals or barefoot on the sand.

Sera Fisherman Sandal — Freda Salvador
Comfortable enough for wandering cobblestone streets, polished enough for dinner. The fisherman shape feels fresh again, and these go with everything I packed.

Maddy Cotton Midi Dress — Simkhai
The hero dress. Lightweight cotton, flattering fit, easy elegance. This is the one I reached for when I wanted zero effort and maximum impact—just add the Joan necklace and go.
