Olivia Culpo Shares Affordable Beauty and Fashion Essentials Just in Time for Summer

"A staple that everybody needs to have, in my opinion, is a black bikini or a black one-piece. Or any black bathing suit. This is not a super cheeky situation.

"This is one of my favorite absolute staples. If there's one clothing item that you buy today, I really think it should be this. This is a linen, white button-down. This is so good to have for the summer because it's so multi-functional. You can have this buttoned all the way down. You can wear it as a dress. You can put a bathing suit on underneath.
