Swept Away

Summer is upon us and the beaches and pools are waiting for you! 
Ever have trouble finding what to wear to the water? Here's a list of creative beach wear and accessories.






  • Borrow from the boys and wear an oversized button down. Try a crisp, white or baby blue one with a pair of shades and messy hair for a sexy look.

  • Try a pair of high-waisted shorts with your bikini top for that retro yet fresh feel everyone's been craving these days.










  • Sport a funky head scarf in a floral or black and white pattern.



  • Show off your suit in a translucent,crochet,or lace dress.



  • Carry with you the ultimate accessory: an oversized beach tote. Try something unique like one with lace or fringe to spice up your outfit.




  • A whole outfit can take a turn for the worst with a bad hair do. Go with the flow and let your locks run wild with beachy waves and bohemian braids. Or slick it back into a chic ponytail for a more refined look. 

  • When it gets chillier, layer a big cotton or knit cardigan over your bathing suit. Keep the rest of your outfit low key to avoid drowning in it.


  • There's nothing chicer then a floppy sun hat. Pair it with long, sultry waves.


  • Relax in a crocheted bikini and a long minimal necklace. 



  • Keep the sun out of your eyes with a funky pair of shades. Experiment with vintage inspired shapes and retro frames.


  • Turn an old t-shirt into a creative cover up. Cut it down the middle for a flowy vest or slice off the top for an off the shoulder top. Or wear a translucent or lace crop top for the same laid-back look.



  • Get swept away in 40's inspired one pieces. Fashionable and alluring, but still not all out there. 





  • Don't forget your flirty sundresses. Opt for a fun print to really get noticed. 

  • Also, don't forget to be bold and try out a high-waisted bikini. It'll give you a great vintage feel, and give your look an edge.

  • Another fun look to try out is a bandeau, paired with a delicate cardigan and capris or shorts. It's a perfect beach look. 



So, this summer try fashion pieces you've never tried before, mix and match, and most importantly be bold and have fun with what you're wearing, and you'll look great in anything.
