Fashion :: Some Stylish Tips for Summer Wear

 

It’s Memorial Weekend, the true kick off to summer and my favorite time of the year. I love the warm weather, the beach, the barbeques, dining al-fresco and seeing my girls having so much fun swimming to their hearts content.There is one other thing that also comes along with summer and that is a bathing suit. It’s funny how it sneaks up on us to put one on. Whether you are ready for it or not there are a lot of styles to enhance and forgive problem areas you may have. I love beach towels (a bit of an obsession) and a cute cover up. I have a fantasy of wearing a long caftan with a large floppy hat which has not come true (yet) but I still want to look cute and, well,  kind of chic. Why not? Being a mom does not mean to throw in the towel or the beach towel in this case. I found a few tankini styles that are a bit more interesting than your basic style, cool prints, fun strap detail or cut outs (in the right places). There are some awesome one pieces as well as the bikini, if you plan to sport one.

 

Here are some suggestions to bring in the summer months in style:

    I love the great ideas Justine gives for each season. Some of the items are so elegant yet usable and fun too. It is nice to see the newest ones each time. Keep up just wear it. Love it!
