Beach Bummin’

As I’m entering the middle of this hectic first quarter of my grad program, I can barely find the time to blog. Sorry, folks! Within the past 36 hours I’ve had 4 midterms and a huge presentation. Can you say ‘no life’? I’m happy to say I currently have a little bit of breathing room so, where’s my first escape to relax? My blog.

Today’s Polyvore inspiration is 100% influenced by my mood. All I want to do right now is teleport myself to a tropical beach with white, soft sand and clear water, lay down on a comfy lounge chair that’s strategically placed underneath an umbrella, magazine in hand, with a bucket-o-brews by my side. No cell phone, no laptop, not a damn thing.

The next thing I consider as I’m daydreaming about relaxing at the beach, is what am I gonna wear? As I hate tan lines, strapless is my go-to. I’m crazy for color and prints and new styles away from the typical string bikini and opt for a synched bottom with a v-cut on top. After splashing in the water, my hair goes absolutely cray-cray– a hat is a necessitiy so, why not add a little bit of drama with this floppy brim. As you see, with the bucket-o-brews, my tummy won’t be so flat so, that’s where I cue in this fab fringed and laced sarong.

As I type away, I’ve easily convinced myself to book a trip and visit my friend in Miami. Enough with all this typing. Bring on the beach bumming!

Island Inspiration

It’s the third day of summer and it’s the third day my mind has been completely fixated on going on vacation. The temperature has risen above 90 degrees, I’m relaxing in my patio with a margarita in hand and all I truly need in life is a beach! Is that so much to ask for?!

Of course while daydreaming of soaking up the sun in Turks and Caicos, I’m also planning my daily outfits of fuss-free, relaxed and flirty fits plus bright and bold accessories.
