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. 🙂

Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorit Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorite because of the meaning behind it. This necklace from @haverhill checks all the boxes and then some! It’s meant to be passed down between generations.

It’s all handcrafted with solid 14K gold and gemstones. Everything is ethically sourced and sustainably made right here in the USA.

 I chose a necklace with 2 initials with 2 gemstones (mine and my husband’s initials). I love that I can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing because of the high quality materials that it’s made with. I almost never take it off.

Be sure to visit their website (haverhill.com) if you’re looking for meaningful jewelry items for yourself or someone you love.

Happy Friday! I have another Fall transition outfi Happy Friday! I have another Fall transition outfit for you because the cooler weather will be here before we know it.🍂

This one’s from Lysse NY and it’s soft, comfortable and machine washable. I love that they put a tummy tucking panel in the waist area for a slimming effect.

💖Let me know if you want the LINKS.💖

Available in regular and curvy sizes.
