Lucky Magazine

etsy_profilepic_copy.jpgJackie Nasser is the online fashion editor for Lucky, the only magazine devoted entirely to shopping, so she spends her days hunting down the best fashion, accessories, and home goods on the Web. As Luckymag’s resident expert on what’s happening in the market, she’s always on the hunt for new stores and emerging talent. Today she delivers her second installment of the Lucky Magazine Edits series, where Lucky editors show off their favorite Etsy Finds.

Packing for a seaside getaway doesn't have to be a chore: just grab some basics — your favorite worn-in tee, flip-flops, and a tank top — and mix them up with these fun summer pieces. Your packing list starts here!

 

HOT pink ACTIVATE ring

 

 

 

Accessories are a great way to add a
shot of color to any outfit, and this neon
pink cocktail ring definitely delivers! For
more tips, Lucky’s 6 Rules for Wearing Brights
will help guide you. By museglass, $140.

of one of my favorite artists, Ken Done. Mix and

with basics in your closet for unlimited
looks! From ramonawest, $45.

Mexican Stripes Makeup Bag

 

 

 

This makeup bag is so fun and colorful,
I’d make it do double-duty and use it as a
clutch at night. By lapistolera, $15.

Two hot trends in one! The nautical look +
espadrilles = this summer's quintessential shoe.
