There was something entirely magical about packing my bags for our recent getaway to the sun-drenched, bohemian paradise of Todos Santos, Baja California. Fresh off the crisp game day energy in Tennessee and a fast-paced work shoot on the sandy shores of Sanibel, transitioning straight into Baja mode was a fun styling shift! When my dear friend Nina invited me and Shauna to join her for an unforgettable trip to visit her wonderful hometown, I knew immediately that the wardrobe needed to match the artistic, relaxed, yet effortlessly chic energy of the Baja coast.
Todos Santos is a place where historic brick buildings meet sun-baked desert roads, boutique art galleries spill out onto cobblestone streets, and the Pacific breeze carries the salt of the ocean wherever you roam. From striking blue and white tropical motifs to luxurious crochet dresses, dramatic kaftans, statement neck scarfs, chic bucket hats, and metallic accessories that caught the desert light, this packing list was the ultimate expression of resort chic. Let’s dive into every single look I packed and wore during our Todos Santos adventure with Shauna and Nina , broken down outfit by outfit so you can see exactly how I styled Baja this season.
The Ocean Blue Botanical One Piece


Our first look set an immediate tone of breezy elegance with a stunning Gottex blue and white floral two piece tankini swimsuit that captured the quintessential spirit of coastal luxury in Todos Santos. For sun-soaked afternoons relaxing by the pool, having a statement swimsuit was non-negotiable. This two-piece with cover up beach pants featured a sophisticated deep V-neckline accented by a delicate white trim and a unique cutout detail right at the center bodice, blending architectural structure with comfortable stretch.
The pattern itself was a gorgeous botanical print featuring intricate white palm fronds and floral flourishes blooming across a rich ocean-blue background of Todos Santos. It felt classic, incredibly flattering, and transitioned effortlessly from a refreshing swim session to lounging on a plush poolside lounger with a cold drink in hand. Pairing this suit with minimal jewelry turned it into an immediate resort-ready outfit that commanded attention with understated grace.
The White Crochet Knit Maxi Dress
An absolute showstopper for coastal strolls and beachside dining in Todos Santos was this gorgeous white crochet maxi dress. This long-sleeve knit masterpiece was crafted from an open, intricate geometric lace pattern that offered just the right amount of peek-a-boo texture while remaining exceptionally lightweight and breathable for the warm Mexican climate. Featuring a classic rounded neckline, sweeping long sleeves, and a subtle side slit that allowed for effortless movement, this dress was the ultimate cover-up turned evening resort wear.
I styled it layered over a the Gottex Floral Mist swimsuit top and bottom to create high-contrast visual interest, paired with my favorite metallic gold sandals adorned with colorful gemstone embellishments. As I stood against the rustic wooden doors in my home, this crochet dress draped with an effortless, romantic bohemian grace. It was the kind of piece that required very little extra styling because the texture and craftsmanship did all the work, making it an essential pick for sunset dinners overlooking the ocean.
Tropical Palm Blouse & Taupe Wrap Trousers
When it came to exploring the vibrant, art-filled streets of Todos Santos during the heat of the day, comfort and style had to go hand in hand, which brings us to my third look. This top by Romi The Brand featured a sophisticated pairing of tailored kahki wrap-front trousers with a vibrant blue and white tropical palm print blouse. The blouse was a gorgeous puff-sleeve top featuring a laced neckline with delicate tassel ties and subtle white embroidered accents that caught the light beautifully.
To complement the relaxed yet refined aesthetic in Todos Santos, I accessorized with a structured cream and white clutch featuring a sleek top clasp, woven straw heel slides with comfortable block heels, layered beaded necklace by Romi The Brand at Chico’s, that added a touch of artisanal flair, and a chic woven straw visor by Romi at Chico’s to shield my face from the Baja sun. The kahki trousers featured an ingenious wrap-over waistband detail that added modern architectural interest to the silhouette. It was an ensemble custom-tailored for gallery hopping, artisanal shopping, and enjoying long, leisurely lunches at local farm-to-table restaurants.
The Ultimate Poolside Glamour White Bikini & Chiffon Cape
For those moments in Todos Santos when the sun is blazing down and maximum coverage met high-fashion glamour, look number four served as the ultimate resort statement. This look was built around a brilliant white bikini paired with an ethereal, sheer chiffon cape overlay that draped dramatically down to the floor like a modern gown. The sheer cape featured a high mock neckline and flowing open sleeves that caught the desert breeze with every step.
To elevate the poolside glamour in Todos Santos even further, I accessorized with statement coral branch drop earrings, oversized retro sunglasses with warm amber gradient lenses, a stunning metallic gold fish-shaped novelty clutch that added a playful touch of coastal whimsy, and beaded gold sandals. This was the ultimate poolside lounging outfit for relaxing at our villa, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere, and posing for unforgettable vacation photos with Shauna and Nina. It combined high-end resort styling with a sense of carefree vacation energy.
Navy Silk Lace Slip Dress & Silk Head Wrap
Transitioning into evening sophistication, look number five brought a gorgeous touch of sultry romance to our Todos Santos itinerary. This ensemble by Alice & Olivia features a luxurious navy blue silk and lace slip top with delicate adjustable straps a button-front lace bodice detail and lace trim skirt, , and a daring thigh-high side slit edged with intricate black floral lace trim. To capture that effortless European-meets-Baja Todos Santos evening vibe, I styled a printed silk scarf worn as a chic head wrap, statement gold floral earrings, and a cream-and-white structured evening clutch (This color is currently sold out however, Navy is still available, it’s also as good as this).
For footwear, I opted for metallic gold embellished slides by Hermes that added just the right amount of sparkle as we walked across candlelit courtyards. This dress hugged the silhouette in all the right places while remaining cool and comfortable for warm Mexican nights, making it my top pick for our special night out on the town.
The Statement Geometric Kaftan
No trip to Todos Santos would have been complete without a dramatic, conversation-starting kaftan, and look number six was the crown jewel of my statement prints. This floor-length sweeping kaftan featured a bold geometric and abstract tribal-inspired print in a rich palette of black, white, rust orange, and warm beige, culminating in a striking animal-print fade along the cascading hemline. The neckline was heavily embellished with intricate multi-colored beadwork and embroidery, eliminating the need for a necklace and framing the face with artisanal brilliance.
I accessorized this Todos Santos showstopper with oversized black statement earrings, a sleek black beaded handbag, and classic gold sandals. When I slipped into this kaftan, I instantly felt like a glamorous vintage Hollywood icon vacationing in a secluded Mexican oasis. It was breezy, incredibly comfortable, and commanded attention the second we walked into open-air restaurant patios.
Lace Pattern Trousers & Checkered Bucket Hat
For days when we were on the move walking through historic town squares or taking day trips around Todos Santos look number seven brought a sporty, chic, and functional edge to the trip. This outfit paired tailored gray-white floral lace patterned trousers with a comfortable short-sleeve gray tee (However, this exact piece is no longer available, so I’ve linked a similar option that comes in several other great colors), layered under a colorful bohemian neck scarf adorned with playful orange and blue tassels.
To top off the Todos Santos look, I added a vibrant orange-and-white checkered bucket hat, stylish silver bracelets, and plush, supportive white platform sneakers that ensured my feet stayed happy all day long. This look was the epitome of elevated comfort, proving that practical walking shoes and casual tees can look exceptionally high-fashion when paired with the right statement accessories and tailored bottoms. It was practical, youthful, and ready for every adventure Shauna, Nina, and I embarked on.
Citrus Stripe Matching Short Set
Bringing a burst of warm citrus tones to the Todos Santos color palette, look number eight was an adorable matching short set (This pattern just sold out, but this set that I linked is made the exact same way in another super cute pattern!) that screamed vacation luxury. This coordinates set featured a lightweight, long-sleeved tie-front jacket with dramatic flared cuffs and matching shorts, both set on a soft peach background and patterned with a vibrant, embroidered-style floral motif of large coral-red and smaller fuchsia, turquoise-green, and marigold flowers accented with deep navy leaves, all defined by detailed navy and floral border trims.
I styled it layered over a warm tank top, cinched at the waist with a statement leather belt, and accessorized with a white designer bucket hat, my signature cream leather clutch (This color is currently sold out however, Navy is still available, and comfortable metallic gold double-strap slide sandals. The playful colorway mirrored the breathtaking Todos Santos Baja sunsets we watched every single evening, and the lightweight fabric kept me cool while looking impeccably put-together for daytime excursions and casual outdoor lunches.
Earthy Wave Print Trousers & Chunky Wood Necklace
For a bohemian-chic daytime look that leaned into earthy textures and rich contrast, look number nine was an absolute standout in Todos Santos. This outfit paired gorgeous patterned wide-leg pants featuring a mesmerizing wave-like geometric motif in shades of chocolate brown, black, cream, and taupe with a sleek black tube top. Over top, I draped an ultra-soft peach-pink lightweight cardigan, anchoring the look with a magnificent, chunky statement necklace made of large black and natural wood spherical beads.
To complete the Todos Santos ensemble, I added my vintage crochet bag and raffia slide sandals. The rich earthy tones paid homage to the surrounding desert landscape, while the relaxed trousers and open cardigan provided the ultimate effortless comfort for a day of exploring local boutiques and artisan craft markets.
Sunny Yellow Geo Set & Bucket Hat
Another incredible sun-smart and stylish daytime ensemble worn in Todos Santos was look number ten, which featured a cheerful yellow-and-white geometric patterned button-down shirt and matching shorts by Romi the Brand (Unfortunately, this pattern recently sold out! I linked a similar high-quality option from Amazon that’s even more budget-friendly). I layered the open shirt over a comfortable tank top paired the shorts with a matching white bucket hat adorned with subtle yellow polka dots, and wore chunky white platform sneakers that added a modern athletic twist. I also accessorized with a sporty white crossbody bag, a colorful beaded necklace, and a sleek silver watch.
This outfit was bright, energetic, and extraordinarily functional for long days walking under the Mexican sun in Todos Santos. The cheerful yellow pattern radiated positivity and fun, making it the perfect uniform for morning coffee runs with Shauna and exploring the historic mission church in town.
Textured Fringe Top & Pink Balloon Pants
For a chic, playful, and tactile resort look in Todos Santos, this outfit perfectly balances rich, earthy textures with soft, relaxed volume. The ensemble features a sleeveless taupe top covered in dramatic, soft fringe that added marvelous movement with every step. I paired this top with a pair of lightweight, high-waisted light-pink balloon pants that were tailored to full, graceful length, allowing the voluminous shape to drape right to the floor.
To draw a Todos Santos showstopper, I styled a striking statement collar necklace crafted with thick cream cordage and a central seashell fan pendant surrounded by crystal embellishments. The accessories were finished with an intricate, geometric beaded clutch in earthy neutral hues and comfortable woven straw block-heel slide sandals. It was an effortlessly cool, statement-making outfit for evening drinks, casual dining, and late-night laughs in Todos Santos with Shauna and Nina.
