Summer

Cover-ups for watching my kids surf...for pool parties…for water parks…for when I’m w/ my in-laws…for long beach days & dinners out...if anyone has any cover-ups for my cover-ups, I want those too.
Shana rolls her eyes at me because I am ALLLLLLL about the cover-ups, and could kind of care less about finding cute swimsuits -- although I did miraculously find three swimsuits I love this year (this in black with these bottoms, this in red, and this in navy). But let's get back to the really important stuff....ALLLLLLL the swimsuit...
I start with this swimsuit, throw on some destroyed denim shorts, cute sandals, a hat (100% necessary in the sun) + my (prescription) sunglasses & I'm good to go.
I've been talking about this J.Crew swimsuit for years now. In fact, I first shared how much I loved it with you guys back in 2019. I try new styles of suits every year -- one-pieces and two-pieces, high-rise and low-rise -- but this is the one I always come back to. It's comfortable, it's flattering, it...
Of the Madewell denim shorts, we wanted to focus on the basic, wear-everyday styles. So we narrowed it to 2: relaxed jean shorts + high-rise denim cutoffs.
Truthfully, I can't remember whose idea it was for us to try Madewell's denim shorts, but once we all started looking more closely, most of us got pretty darn excited. The problem? We were each looking at slightly different pairs of Madewell cutoffs. Madewell makes several different styles of denim shorts, but we wanted to focus on the basic,...
I recently did a full Agolde denim shorts try-on & fell for the Dee cutoffs. In fact, it was the one pair I kept & have been wearing on repeat ever since.
I recently did a full Agolde denim shorts try-on and fell in love with the Dee style. In fact, it was the one pair I kept and have been wearing on repeat ever since. I have to admit though, that it's one of the only two pairs that fit right now. This year after getting rid of my now-too-small...
I don't look forward to shopping for swimsuits b/c it’s tricky finding tops to support large busts. Even if I get excited about fun colors & patterns, it's difficult to find those same pretty swimsuits in supportive styles.
It’s time for the dreaded bathing suit search. I never look forward to shopping for swimsuits (I'm probably not alone in this), because it’s tricky finding tops to support a larger chest. Even if I can get excited about fun colors and patterns, it's difficult to find those same pretty swimsuits in a supportive style. This year, I'm determined...
If you're leaning less Hot Girl Summer & more Eat The Tacos Summer...maybe get this black midi t-shirt dress with cut-outs + a slit. You'll have both.
Sometimes, the only thing better than a good basic...is a slightly-more-interesting version of that basic. And while I've worn my fair share of t-shirt dresses over the years, that classic silhouette isn't one that I'd necessarily describe as...exciting. Better Than Bodycon: A Black Midi T-Shirt Dress With Cut-Outs & A Slit So when I came across Good American's Dreamy Cut-Out Dress...
So I put this pretty little long sleeve midi dress together with 3 of my go-to shoes + bags for a few summer outfit ideas (think clogs, Birks, Vans).
I fell in love with this gorgeous embroidered white midi dress by Madewell about a month ago and have now worn it a handful of times -- it's my current obsession. 3 Ways I'm Styling This Embroidered White Midi Dress For Summer It's cool enough for summer, but perfect for when the AC is cranked up to high, or the...
Free People outfit basics (tees, tanks, shorts) are tough to beat. They're still nailing my go-to summer uniform: white tee (or tank), denim shorts.
I've been swearing by swingy little Free People tanks and tees every summer since...I started buying my own clothes? Can that even be possible? Thanks to a quick Google search, Free People started in 1984(!!) so yes. Yes I have. I've found that Free People's summer basics (tees, tanks, shorts) are pretty tough to beat. And while their...
We go to the beach around sunset to enjoy some happy hour beverages while the kids play in the water. These are the times I wait for ALL year long.
A huge thank you to Backcountry & ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post. We're in Carolina Beach--one of our favorite places in the world--this month. The beaches are absolutely gorgeous and we are taking full advantage of our time here. I'd love to say we're able to take in the beautiful sunrises over the ocean, but with two little...
For summer skin & beauty essentials, we like 'em hydrating, glowing & loaded with SPF. These foolproof beauty products keep skin healthy -- + glowing -- all season long.
Ah, summertime. The nostalgic sound of the lawn mower, the quiet mornings spent sipping coffee on the porch, long afternoons under the hot sun followed by the best naps for everyone in the family. And maybe, just maybe, a blissful weekend getaway (or full-blown summer vacation?!) to the beach! I’ve been fortunate enough to not only live in a little beach...
