Photos: The Social Shopper: July 7, 2012

It’s Saturday morning—the perfect time to start making plans for next weekend, and if you’re stymied on where to go and what to do, may we suggest taking a good look at this picture by Simen Platou of Claudia Mirea skateboarding along the shore on the Ben Trovato blog? Her excitement is contagious, and her look is stylishly simple. It’s clear she s staying focused less on what she is wearing and more on what she is doing—and really, is there anything more attractive than that kind of confidence? Now that you know the beach should be your destination of choice, we have put together a few summer-friendly ways to get there and get around—and picked out a few pieces you might want to wear along the way. And, even if you can’t make it to the coast, just dressing the part might make you feel like you spent a day by the ocean. Happy shopping—and don’t forget to keep it social by adding your own favorite beach looks to our list via Facebook and Twitter.
