Trend Alert: Blue and White

With August upon us, I'm mapping out my outfits for a holiday in Grenada—a small island north of Venezuela. I’m going for the blue and white look but in more intricate patterns than the summer standard of nautical stripes. Think Japanese wave paintings with a hint of delftware throw in. They’re bold without screaming “I’m on a tropical vacation”!
