The Summer Blues

 Now that summer has finally crept out of its hole and is in full bloom , I thought doing a beach trip themed post featuring heavy blue influences would be relevant and fun!                                                

                                                       

Swimsuit:

J.Crew One Piece Swimsuit - $24.99



J.Crew Bikini Top   $30



J.Crew Bikini Bottom $30

 The centerpiece of your beach outfit, a swimsuit has to be something your comfortable in as well as feel amazingly confident. It's the one type of clothing I don't mind digging a little further into my wallet for. Plus these J. Crew swimsuits give off a great beach vibe with their pretty blue undertones.

Pacsun Coverup  - $12.99

There's nothing better than a light, flowy cover up to put over sun-kissed skin after a long day at the beach. As long as it's soft it'll do.

Anthropology Beach Bag - $19

A bag at the beach is a woman's best friend; it can hold

 1.Sunscreen - because, unfortunately, nobody can really pull off the "just ran a marathon" look

2.  Snacks- All that beach looking and sun can wear a girl out....and make her craving some serious munchies. Some of my favorite "beach treats" are twizzlers, homemade sandwiches, and fresh peaches.

and most importantly 3. A book. Nothing shouts BEACH more than a good, guilty pleasure read. If it has some romance, its a must read.

This Anthropologie Bag is perfect for fitting all of these things (and probably much more) and has the convenience of being a backpack so if your like me, and have to venture throughout Chicago to get to a beach, this feature will defiantly come in handy.

 Accessories



Forever 21 Round Sunglasses - $5.80







Forever21 hat - $10. 80





 



Urban Outfitters Shoes - $29.99

I love the look of retro sunglasses, expecially the cat eye style. I also love how their being sold so cheap these days ($5 sunglasses? Yes please!) A straw hat and some cute sandals are just the cherry on top!

I Hope everyone can get down to the beach this Fourth of July weekend and have some relaxation and a good time!
