And just like that, the hot weather is here. This is my happiest time of the year, everything summer is fresh, new and exciting. I especially love the feel of a warm breeze, the hot sun on my face, that first wiff of coconut upon opening a bottle of sunscreen, iced coffees, the energy of the waves crashing on shore...I could go on and on. 
But, sometimes keeping covered and cool on these hot days can be a bit challenging so I've offered a few ideas that will keep you feeling chic and fabulous on the beach or at the pool. AND A FABULOUS SUMMER GIVEAWAY featuring a classic beach bag, a cheery beach towel, a pair of aviator sunglasses and a bottle of heavenly smelling Hawaiian Tropic spf 30 sunscreen. ENTER CONTEST BELOW.  Meanwhile here are some of my beach day necessities:


A striped t-shirt maxi dress ($22.80) is a great option for a pool or beach cover-up.  A vibrant and lightweight head scarf ($48) is a glamorous way to keep your hair covered and cool.  Glam up your beach/pool area with a fabulous patterned beach towel ($14.99) and a roomy canvas tote  ($59) with a happy trio of flowers. Other beach/pool day must haves: Tom Ford sunglasses ($380), pretty floral flip flops ($48) to frame your tootsies,  heavenly smelling sunscreen,  age shield spf 55+ uva/uvb sunscreen for your face (A MUST),  and a yummy ice cold drink! (I do not endorse the kashrus of any Starbucks products please ask your local Rabbi for guidance in this matter).

If you have other errands to run on your way to or from the beach/pool, a great option is to wear a flowy, light colored maxi skirt and basic t-shirt as your cover up. A bright tote bag accessorizes the look and fills in as a great beach bag.

I love the boho vibe of this beach look. Don't be afraid to mix pattern and color...a day at the beach is not a time to be conservative in your style!

A pretty white tunic is another great option for a cool cover-up. When shopping for cover-ups don't only look in the swim section, think out of the box and keep your eye out for over sized tops, blouses and tunics in light fabrics and colors. Once again a vibrant headscarf is a great way to cover your hair and look ultra chic. Add a trio of plastic bangles and retro sunglasses to be the most stylish woman at the beach/pool.


Have a gorgeous day!
