I
m a California girl, so naturally I feel most at ease near the ocean. After visiting Shelter Island last summer, I immediately sensed the same laid-back mentality I experienced growing up in San Diego—it
s become my favorite place to visit when I can
t get to the West Coast. Here, I am at the Sunset Beach hotel for a low-key lunch with friends. I am wearing my mom
s Plein Sud polka-dot dress that she bought at Maxfield’s in the nineties. Growing up, I always begged my mom to let me pick out her clothes and when she let me, four out of five times I would choose this dress! I still gravitate towards it today, and I wear it all the time. My sandals are McQueen, and they have proven to be more durable and comfortable than they appear.
