Ibiza Shopping Guide: The Best Boutiques, Markets, and Beach Shops

While Ibiza is mostly known more for its international music scene and hippie culture, it is also filled with amazing shopping. From great boutiques to open air markets, I've rounded up my favorite spots to shop on the island. And case you find yourself landlocked this summer, I've included links so that you can shop island styles while at home.

Where to Shop In Ibiza

Ibiza Town, the island's city center, is full shopping with a great mix of well-curated boutiques and affordable gift shops. If you want to look like a native Ibicenco, seek out the affordable handmade espadrille and wicker bag shops run by the older generations of locals (most of them make the products themselves). If you want something more upscale, or to invest in a special piece, there are plenty of high-end boutiques filled with special pieces that you won't find anywhere else.

Pro Tip: The traditional Spanish siesta is strictly observed, so most shops close between 2pm- 6pm. Many of them stay open as late as midnight or 1am during peak summer months, making night shopping a must!

Fashionable Boutiques:

Poise Ibiza
Calle de la Cruz
www.poisibiza.com

This small women's boutique is about as quintiessential Ibiza as it comes. Stocked with drapey white dresses, crochet shorts, and leather sandals it is the perfect place to pick up unique pieces at prices that won't cause sticker shock. On my last visit, I bought my first pair of shorts in 5 years (yes, really!) for only 25 euro and a handful of colorful beaded bracelets for only 5 euro a piece

Campos de Ibiza
Vicente Cuervo 13 
https://camposdeibiza.com

Campos de Ibiza has several locations on the island. I prefer their Ibiza Town location by the main harbor. Inside you will find everything from scented lotions, to woven totes, colorful bracelets, swimsuits, and coverups. I was impressed with how affordable everything was with prices ranging from 35 euro for a tote to 75 euro for a swimsuit.

B London Boutique
Carrer de Missa 5
www.blondonboutique.com

Set in the heart of Marina Botafoch’s stylish shopping district, this colorful boutique is the little sister of its London namesake. Their hand-picked collection of swimwear includes high fashion brands like Mara Hoffman, L*Space, and Beach Bunny. Expect to find styles in vibrant prints and colors next to eclectic accessories including clutches, jewelry, and even some activewear. Just be prepared to spend a little more, their jaw dropping pieces can with jaw dropping price tags.

Hippy Markets:

Las Dalias Market
San Carlos
https://lasdalias.es/en/

The legendary "Hippy Market" is a must-see, with rows of stalls selling colorful clothing, jewelry, shoes, and other handmade items. Around since 1985, Las Dalias Hippy Market is the most famous market in Ibiza and my favorite place to go for beaded bracelets and inexpensive accessories with a true boho flair. Plus, there's live music, performances, art, and food. It is open every Saturday, and Monday and Tuesday evenings June through September. 

Punta Arabi
Es Canar
http://www.hippymarket.info

The oldest market on the island, Punta Arabi is open every Wednesday. This is a great family activity and has something for everyone. Enjoy the live music and incredible food, and then take a walk through the stalls selling everything fresh fruits and veggies, to clothes, fabrics, and accessories. Pro tip: the prices can initially be high, so don't be afraid to haggle a bit!

Beach Club Gift Shops:

Blue Marlin
www.bluemarlinibiza.com

This beach club is hands down my favorite place to spend a day lounging in the sun. Behind all of the daybeds and loungers is a small hut stocked with colorful swimsuits for men and women, coverups, and sunglasses. Around 2pm each day, models walk around wearing the items, which only makes you want to buy something even more. Items can be priced on the higher end of the scale, but if you shop toward the end of the day they are usually more willing to give you a discount.

The Shop at Beachouse
www.beachouseibiza.com

Situated on the lively Playa d’en Bossa, Beachouse is always buzzing with lots of people listening to music and drinking rose in the sun. Their small boutique has a modest selection of bracelets, tops and dresses. I prefer to do my shopping down on the beach where local girls walk around selling their kaftans and cover-ups for half the price that you'd pay in Ibiza Town. 

That's a Wrap: Protect Your Colored Hair From the Sun in Style

Right before my summer trip to Ibiza, I decided to take my hair platinum blonde. To say it’s a process is an understatement. But after two 10 hour appointments, I am in love with final outcome! 

One thing that I didn’t plan was the timing of my freshly bleached hair and the effects the sun and saltwater would have on it. So I left for vacation with one very stern warning from my stylist “Keep your hair protected and covered!”

Prep Your Dyed Locks for the Sun

Megan's hair before and after.

Keeping your hair completely covered from the sun is the surest way to avoid further damage. But let's be realistic, if you are going to invest in coloring you hair your are going to want to be able to show it off. Platinum hair can tend to be on the drier side, so conditioning is key.

Olaplex is one of the best products on the market (and highly recommended by salons). The bottle recommends leaving it on for 30 minutes, but after some research I learned that you can sleep with it on overnight. I've tried this twice and the results have been incredible. My bleached locks felt soft and healthy immediately after. In addition, I spray a generous amount of Pureology Color Fanatic multi-taking beautifier on after every wash. 

Ditch the Baseball Hat for a Scarf

When I am running errands around SF I am a baseball hat girl. But for my trip I wanted something that felt more chic and interesting. I inherited a handful of silk scarves from my Nana years ago and decided to pack a few.  Not only do they make great head covers, they also double as a belt with denim shorts or tied around the waist as a beach cover-up. 

Pro tip: Silk scarves can be harder to tie and keep in place than cotton scarves. Pack a few bobby pins in your bag to keep the scarf secured.

 

How to Wear A Hair Scarf for Sun Protection

There are at least a half dozen ways (if not more) to tie a scarf for maximum sun protection that are both stylish and functional. My favorite is known as the "half knot hippie wrap". The key to the look is to not try to make it look too perfect. This style has a very boho influence and looks equally great with your hair worn down or in a low ponytail.

How to tie a hair scarf:

1. Fold the scarf diagonally to make a triangle

2. Fold over the scarf at the crease where the fold is to adjust for length

3. Wrap around your head head starting with the scarf on your forehead and tie between your crown and the nape of your neck.

4. For additional protection, tie your hair up so that it stays covered beneath your headscarf.

Optional: you can always tuck the pointed tip of the scarf into the knot to keep it down or from blowing in the wind.

SF Shop Guide: Summer Shopping at Everlane

Last month I made an appointment to "Cut the Line" at our local Everlane shop on Valencia street and check out the summer collection. It is one of two new brick and mortar locations for the company (say goodbye to online returns). Megan and I have been watching this brand for several years--attending open houses at their studio space. We love the business concept but have never been sold on the fit. However, we are open-minded fashionista's and are willing to revisit a brand we want to believe in. 

In short, I was extremely impressed with their current collection and the store experience. I actually had fun shopping! Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that my appointment was a 9:30 on a Saturday morning and I had the place to myself.

Are you curious how Megan and I shop solo? Well, today I'm taking you along for a behind the scenes view...

Stay Stylish,

Everlane Top Picks

ProTip: When visiting a new brand, be strategic in your shopping. Start by pulling the top styles you like and a few you don't. The goal is to get to know the fit. I pulled nearly every pant style they had in a size above and below by usual to get a sense of sizing grading. Once you have nailed down your "true size" then focus on the color that best works on you and your wardrobe. While sales people can be helpful, having all the sizes you need first will save you time in the long run.

---

Everlane Soft Cotton Square Crew $68 (I'm wearing a small in Poppy Red)

Who shops for sweaters in summer, I DO of course! If you are in need of a casual summer sweater that is comfy, breathable and still upbeat for the season this is it. Wearing black in June and July only adds to the misery of our SF climate. This fun pop of color was so popular I actually passed this sweater to a fellow patron in the dressing room...yes I will occasionally style others on the fly. This color has since sold out, but they have a slew of other amazing colors. 

---

Everlane Kick Crop Jean $78 in the color Bone

Shopping for white summer jeans can be an exercise in humility. The shopping experience is akin to bathing suit shopping depending on fabric, cut and dreaded dressing room lighting. Luckily, Everlane is a step ahead with dressing rooms that are filled with soft natural light thanks to well placed skylights. The fabric on these bone colored jeans has the right about of thickness to support and smooth. The cut of the high-rise kick crop pant is clean with a playful flair. I especially apprecited the raw hem for a touch of modernity. 

Protip: For these high rise jeans consider sizing down to maintain a perfect fit

---

Everlane Wide Leg Crop Pant $68 (Front shot shown in Ochre) and Everlane Wide Leg Crop Utility Cargo Pant $68 (Back shot shown in Surplus).

These sister styles are exactly what you want on a Saturday morning! Super comfy with a sprinkle of style. I preferred the Wide Leg Crop Utility Cargo pant with back patch pockets and front pocket detail. These styles run large, so size down and consider the stretch impact. The smallest size in store was still a little big on me that I decided to pass on these (for now). If I purchased either of these crops I would have altered them to two inches above my ankle for summer. 

ProTip: Everlane does not provide in store alterations so make sure you have your local tailor on call.

---

Everlane Denim Skirt $58, Indigo

Denim skirts have cycled in and out of my wardrobe over the years. This summer they are back and I love the super dark indigo versions. When I spotted this one in the shop I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised by the fit. However, the length is a little short for everyday or work use that I left it behind. If we lived in a warmer climate I may have considered it.

Protip: When trying on skirts, dresses or slacks make sure you have a seat and review the fit while seated.

Everlane The Work Pant Ankle, $50 (shown in Ochre, purchased Black)

These pants are two legged miracle workers! I've put many a client into Rag and Bone slacks for work and have been saving up for a pair of my own. However, once I tried these on and saw the $50 price tag, I knew I needed to test them out. They may be the most comfortable work pants I have ever owned. While the fabric is not as thick and high quality as Rag and Bone, the high rise fit gives the right amount of smooth support and stretch. I ended up purchasing these in black to wear year round and will post an update on how they hold up in months to come. 

Outfit Details: Vince Striped Tie Back Sweater, $177,  Sam Edelman Floral Espadrilles $22 (on sale and they run about a 1/2 size big), Everlane Work Pants in Ochre $50

Travel Style: 5 Easy Day-To-Night Vacation Looks

Megan already shared how she packs for a beach vacation. This year her trip to Ibiza requires a little more planning. See below for her five go-to outfits that can make a day look last well into the evening.

Stay Stylish,
M&K

---

When I was preparing for my trip to London, I knew that I needed 5 distinct looks: a night out in London, daytime beach club, dinner show and dancing, a day on a boat, casual afternoon exploring the town. While I did decide to create specific outfits for my events, I also felt a sense of ease knowing that if plans change on the fly any of the straightforward styles can easily be a day-to-night outfit.

Five Vacation Outfits to Have Your Ready for Anything

1. Night Out In London

I am spending my first night with my best friend and her husband in London. While our plans are just for dinner and drinks, I still wanted something that felt chic for the notoriously stylish city. Let's keep in mind that I will be coming off a 10 hour flight, so it needed to be effortless too. Jeans are always my go-to and can be easily glammed up with great heels and a colorful top. I decided to add in a studded crossbody for texture and edge.

Outfit details: Alice + Olivia satin cami, Rag n Bone jeans (similar), Calvin Klein heels (old), Valentino studded cross body.

2. Daytime Beach Club

One day on Ibiza we made reservations for lunch at a daytime beach club. Since it will be hot and sandy, I wanted comfort without sacrificing island style. Throwing a basic cover-up over your bikini is the most obvious solution, but by adding just a little extra detail the outfit has potential to go so much further. 

Pro Tip: A sunhat can be bulky to pack, unless it is collapsible. To save space, pack items inside of your hat. That way it won't get crushed and you are utilizing the space it takes up.

Outfit details: Shein bikini, crochet beach coverup, straw hat from Jamaica, Old Navy flip flops.

3. Dinner and Dancing

Dinner and dancing at Lio is our dressiest night out. I wanted to play a little and not just do a straightforward dress and heels. I started with a sequin skirt and kept it as the focus piece. From there I layered on basic items that and finished with a beaded clutch and metallic heels .

Outfit details: H&M sequin mini, Kooples tank top (similar), Stella McCartney bralette (similar), Anthropoligie beaded clutch (similar), Aldo metallic heels (similar).

4.  A Day On A Boat

Anyone that knows me knows that I love boats! That's why I am most looking forward to the day that we chartered a private boat to take us around Formentera. The long sleeve white button down will offer perfect coverage from the later afternoon sun and since I am a fanatic about sun protection, I always need my SPF 45 face powder.

Outfit details: yarn beach bag, Ralph Lauren button down, Super Goop SPF powder, Shein bikini, Gap denim shorts, Dolce Vita sandals

5. Afternoon Wandering Around Town

Come on I am a stylist, did you really think I wouldn't set aside time to do some local shopping? Not knowing when we would be able to fit this in, I needed an outfit that could easily take me from the beach to boutiques, or vice versa. The Chanel scarf makes the perfect belt to match my cut-off jeans, but can also be worn tied around my waist as a beach cover-up too. 

Outfit details: Ralph Lauren button down, vintage Chanel Scarf, Gap denim shorts, Nordstrom studded sunglasses, Becca swimsuit, Old Navy flip flops.

The BBQ Ready Summer Salad

If you signed up to bring a side salad for the fourth or are simply looking for a lighter dinner this summer we are sharing a recipe that has been on repeat in our kitchens.

Great style isn't limited to your wardrobe and having the right mix of simple ingredients makes healthy eating easy. This recipe was created last minute for an unplanned dinner party. The mix of sweet squash and savory arugula is a fresh combination and pairs well with grilled chicken for a heartier dish...or alone with a cool glass of rosè.

Get ready to say goodbye to the heavy BBQ pasta salad of the past, this one may be a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

• 3C Organic Washed Arugula
• 1/4C Skim Ricotta Cheese
• 1/8C Pine Nuts
• 1 Package of Fresh Ravioli or Tortellini

• 5T Olive Oil
• Kosher Salt
• Fresh Ground Pepper

---

Step 1

Heat 3T olive oil in a fry pan with a sprig of rosemary. Once the oil is heated add butternut squash pieces and saute until edges are caramelized. Add salt and pepper to butternut squash and  2T of water to the pan. Cover the pan and reduce to low heat until squash is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove rosemary, add pine nuts (lightly toasting) then reserve until step 3.

Step 2

In a separate sauce pan boil salted water and add pasta. Boil on high heat for 2 minutes or until all pasta floats to the top of the pan. Strain out water, drizzle with olive oil and reserve.

Step 3

Place three cups of arugula in a mixing bowl and toss in cooked butternut squash and pasta. Add 1/4C ricotta cheese, additional 1T of olive oil and gently stir, taking care to fold in pasta. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

Summer Vacation: How Megan Prepares for a Week on Ibiza

Carrying on our summer tradition, Kimberly and I are taking to the blog to share what we are packing for summer vacation. Last year you got to see Kimberly's capsule wardrobe for her trip to London and Amsterdam. This time around, I am excited to give you an inside look at what I will be wearing during a week in Ibiza, Spain.

Stay Stylish,
M&K

---

Beach here I come! For the first time in almost 4 years, I am actually taking a lengthy vacation filled with sun, sand, and friends. Where you ask? I am flying to London for 2 days and then heading to Ibiza, Spain for a week. 

Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help

I guess now is a good time to let you in on a little secret - I love to help my clients pack for trips, but packing for myself is one of my least favorite tasks. Enter the best styling partner ever. Kimberly generously came over first thing on a Monday morning to not only help me pack, but also create some of my favorite outfits for the trip! If you have a vacation coming up and are feeling a mental block, it always helps to have a fresh set of eyes look over your wardrobe. Often times they will see something that you haven't.

Assess Your Needs

While I typically try to travel light, I decided to indulge myself this trip by ditching the carry-on and packing plenty of options. I knew that I would need outfits that could take me from a day on the beach to a night out. And given our itinerary, I needed at least 2 dressier evening looks. Oh, did I mention that I would also be seeing a lot of DJ sets? So that means comfortable shoes that I can dance all night in.

Make a Shopping List

When I travel, I like to make extensive lists of everything I need by category: accessories, clothes, shoes, toiletries, carry-on items, etc. That way I can check things off as I get them. Even better, when it comes time to pack I already have detailed lists of everything I need to remember. This also helps keep you accountable and not over-spend on items that you don't really need or overpack items that you may not even end up wearing.

Choose Where To Invest

Since San Francisco never has a "real summer" I ended up buying a number of new hot weather items for my trip. Big on my list were swimsuits. coverups, easy dresses, and sandals. I knew I could always put a denim jacket or blazer over a dress in cooler temps, so I felt more comfortable investing in both maxi and midi dresses. I also wanted to leave room to buy some special pieces abroad if I saw something that I just had to have, so I purposely left space for new additions.

I wear a swimsuit maybe 4 times a year, so that was one category where I held back from splurging. Instead I bought 5 moderately priced swimsuits to have a fun variety. Stay tuned to see if they hold up...

Pro Tip: Pack your swimsuits in ziplock bags. It will keep them organized in your suitcase and you have somewhere to stick your wet suit after a day at the beach.

Don't Forget Your Travel Outfit

I am going to be honest, what I travel in may be the most important outfit I prepare for a trip. Especially if it is a red eye or international flight. Comfort is key, so I usually pack a second outfit in my carry-on that I can change into either when it's time to sleep on the flight or during a long layover to freshen up a bit.

For this particular trip, it is a straight 10 hour flight to London. I am always cold on planes, so I wanted something I could cozy up in while still not feeling too schlumpy when I land. I've been in love with my "Female Equals Future" sweater since I bought it. It's super soft, while making a positive statement. For the flight, I've paired it with knit cropped leg track pants, a tunic length black tank, and my new flower embroidered jacket. My white sneakers are comfortable and easy to wear, and I always pack an extra pair of socks in my carry-on to put on once we take off.

Pro Tip: Wear bulkier items (such as a sweater or sneakers) on the plane to free up room in your suitcase.

Here is the complete picture of my Ibiza wardrobe. Stay tuned... next I will be sharing my 5 must-have vacation 5. 

Clothing details (from top to right): H&M Female Equals Future sweater (similar), Topshop flower patch jacket, Shein wide leg track pants, Goodfellow & Co. white sneakers, Old Navy flip flops, Shein orange bikini, crochet cover-up, Bella crochet swimsuit, Chanel scarf, AG denim shorts (similar), Gap embroidered blouse (similar), Shein gray bikini, H&M fitted black dress, Kooples tank top (similar), Stella McCartney purple bralette (similar), Anthro beaded clutch (similiar), H&M sequin skirt, Aldo silver heels (similar), BCBG sandals (similar), Yarn beach tote (similar), Ralph Lauren white blouse, Gap denim shorts, Shein black bikini, Dolce Vita sandals, ASOS red maxi dress, J.Crew hoop earrings (similar), Rag n Bone acid washed jeans (similar), Calvin Klein heels (old), Juicy Couture necklace (old), Alice + Olivia green cami (similar), Jigsaw metallic clutch (similar).

The Grandfather

Grandfather's come in all shapes, sizes, and interests. The cool thing about seeing your own parents cross this threshold is how it can bring out a side that you don't have a memory of. Time is precious, and although you may have a few resisters, jotting down his life lessons is a great keepsake that will mean more than a ball cap or polo (but those are always great back ups). For older grandkids-this is a great project to do together.

How to Wear Wide Leg Pants This Summer

Many people often misquote Mark Twain as saying "The coldest winter I ever spent, was a Summer in San Francisco." The author of this quip is unknown, but it doesn't make it any less true. Summertime can be a cruel joke in our fair city. How do you remedy this paradox with summertime style? This season, Megan and I are finding the answer in wide leg pants, culottes, and gauchos.

If your skinny and boyfriend jeans are feeling a little stale, add a silhouette change to your wardrobe mix. The wide leg pant has been creeping its way back into fashion for the past three years and we are predicting it will be a key player for at least the next two years. Now is a good time to invest or bring your old friends to the front of your wardrobe! Don't miss our selection below on some of our favorite versions at a mix of price points.

Find A Wide Leg Designed For You

Everyone has a unique set of proportions. Finding a wide leg pant that flatters your natural shape is key. When shopping for a wide leg pant keep these points in mind:

1. If you have a longer rise or torso choose a higher rise pant to balance your height and improve seat fit.
2. Select a thicker fabric with body to keep the cut crisp.
3. If you opt for a flowy wide leg pant, chose a fabric with drape for movement (no puffy pants) and a waist detail with a tie.
4. Look for wide leg pants that slightly flare at the hem, this will accentuate your waist for a more feminine look.
5. Consider tailoring so the pant hem hits at the most flattering point of your leg.

Balance Out A Wide Leg Pant With A Tailored Top or Sweater

Great dressing is centered around a little tension, balance and finding harmony in geometry. Wide leg pants are designed to add a pop of volume to a look.

Whether you are tall or petite the trick to pulling off the look well is balancing that volume with the other components of the ensemble. If you think of Da Vinci's Virtruvian man the center of the composition is the waistline.

To add focus to my waistline I paired my wide leg pants with a horizontal striped sweater that has a tailored banded waist. This top not only helps to visually balance me vertically but horizontally too. A tie in the back of the sweater adds a focal point and the open back is perfect for a summer day in SF.

ProTip: If you have longer legs you can move that horizontal midsection lower (think drop waist top). If you have shorter legs you can move the waistline up (high waist pant and crop top) to add vertical balance.

Pair Your Wide Leg Pants With Accessories That Elongate Your Look

Keeping with the theme of balance, accessories play an important role in pulling off a wide leg pant look. Shoes are the one thing that often stumps our clients. To elongate your legs try a wedge, heeled sandal, or low cut flat. I particularly like spectators with a wide leg pant for a Annie Hall look. For flat shoes try a nude shade to avoid breaking up your leg line further.

For your earrings, if you are wearing a crewneck top help elongate your neckline with a drop earring. If you pair your wide leg pants with a v-neck or wrap top, top off your look with studs or hoops to soften the angles.
