Going Beachy

June 28, 2012

I gave up sunning myself on the beach years ago. I can honestly say that I wish had never put on a drop of suntan oil in my life. If only I had known then what I know now… How often do we say these words? My daughters have beautiful pale skin and I do everything I can to tell them to embrace it. I am sure that when they are my age they will thank me. In the meantime I sound like a broken record.

My Friday’s Fancies outfit shows what I would wear to the beach today. Sunscreen with a very high spf and sunglasses are a must. I stay under an umbrella and avoid the sun as best I can. I really enjoy the calmness of the beach and listening to the waves. Being prepared is key.

As I write this post I am at my beach house in California. This is not your typical beach weather though. The daytime temperatures are in the mid 60’s dipping down into the 50’s in the evening. The sounds I hear while here are the sounds of barking seals. I wear jeans and a sweatshirt, not the fun outfit shown below. Funny thing is that I love it just the same!

    Love all your picks! I’ve been on a maxi dress kick lately. Just put on my new one from J.Crew last night. I finally picked up a navy skirted bottom, too. 🙂

I’ve never been a false lashes kinda gal, but it truly couldn’t get any easier than with these magnetic lashes. They’re so good that I’m ordering more asap so I’ll have a variety to choose from. I’m so obsessed with how good they look and how quick they are to apply.

I’m wearing the Savannah Breeze style which is shorter and perfect for everyday wear.
