Kelsey Merritt’s life looks just like a vacation. Moments of browsing through her Instagram feed would transport you to numerous spots adored by tourists and locals alike. One minute she's in New York, and the next minute she's in Italy!
Don’t take this the wrong way, though. For a busy model like Kelsey, a vacation is just what she needs. On a recent trip, she basked in the sun of the glamorous French Riviera, where skies are painted the prettiest shade of blue and sea salt lingers in the air.

Walking the streets of Saint-Tropez, Kelsey wore a monochromatic outfit — a classic midi dress with a form-flattering structure that accentuated her waist, while the rest of the garment flowed gracefully. She paired the white ensemble with a sun hat and black-tinted flip-flops.
