Kelsey Merritt is enjoying an end of summer trip to Puglia, Italy, and we’re experiencing major FOMO over her incredible vacation content on Instagram.

The three-time SI Swimsuit model shared a carousel of pics aboard a boat on Friday, in which she sprawled out in her swimwear on a lounger. The 26-year-old Filipino-American model wore a blue-and-white striped button-up over a white one-piece swimsuit and a white bucket hat atop her head. She accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses, a chunky statement necklace, a gold watch and an anklet.

In the first pic, Merritt held her hat to her head as her open button-up blew in the sea breeze behind her. She adjusted her seated position in a black-and-white snap that followed, and concluded her post with a cute pic in which she smiled and looked out to the water.

“can feel summer slipping away..🌞,” Merritt noted in her caption.

“fashion icon 😍😍,” one of the former Victoria’s Secret model’s two million followers applauded in the comments.

“Beautiful from head to toe..really! 😍🔥🩵🤍💙,” someone else cheered.

“Awwwww perfect beach attire,” another fan noted.

Merritt has been updating her social media followers throughout her recent trip to both the Philippines and Italy. She donned several black monochromatic looks while at the beach with family at the beginning of the month before her travels took her to Tuscany, and then Puglia. We only wish our own summers were wrapping up in similar style abroad!
