Traditional style and old-world origins meet fresh trends when Monica breezes through creative briefings and designer powwows in pops of color and impossibly chic accessories. This Barcelonian beauty with both Spanish and Italian ancestry picks pioneering, practical-turned-pretty sunwear… aviators. When navigating a crisp new ensemble in the city, she takes off in the brand many say shaped the shape’s history, Ray-Ban from Luxottica, staying true to glowing gold style 3025. Monica mixes her metal suns with high hues or her beloved go-to: nautical stripes plus a pair of jeans for every occasion, dressing them up or down and creatively swapping colors for prints. This Manhattan mom to two coordinates more than just our amazing bank of designers and well-shaded family adventures across the world—she’s fluent in sun and style, perfectly blending beachy prep and European leanings.
