These Amazon cloud slides are easily one of my most-loved and most worn sandals during the summer. The brand linked above is my favorite listing for these sandals – I’ve tried other brands before and haven’t loved the quality and color as much. These sandals are under $25 and come in tons of colors!

2. FLORAL BIKINI (under $25 – M )

I’m loving this cute neon floral bikini from Amazon (under $25), I ordered the medium and the top is easily adjustable with the tie back. They also have a high-waisted version of the print here. 

 3. OVERSIZED SUNNIES (under $15)

A most-loved item each summer are these Amazon sunnies are an amazing designer lookalike and are under $15! The oversized fit is so cute and the quality of them is great. They come in other colors and prints too.

4. JELLY SANDALS (under $100)

I found these jelly sandals for our most recent Florida trip – I got the color rose dust and they run true to size. They also come in other cute colors and are perfect for the pool and beach this summer as well as everyday sandals.

5. WHITE BUTTON DOWN SHIRT (under $25 – XL)

I can easily understand why this white button down shirt is one of May’s most-loved pieces…it’s such a summer staple! I have this one (under $25) and wearing the size XL. It’s one of my go-to coverups when I go to the pool or the beach when we are on vacation. It fits Cody too so it’s one of those pieces that do double duty – especially great when we’re traveling.

6. MESH TOTE BAG (on sale – under $15)

Another vacation and summer staple is this mesh tote beach bag from amazon. It comes in tons of colors and is currently on sale right now for under $15!

7. DAD DENIM SHORTS (under $50- S)

I’m loving the longer “dad” fit shorts right now which is slightly oversized and high-waisted. So cute with crop tops or even swimsuits as a coverup. This pair is under $50 and comes in multiple washes.

8. MARBLE CHAIN DECOR (under $60)

Lovee this decorative marble chain I found on amazon for under $60! I’m so impressed with the quality of it and there’s tons of ways you can style these. I styled it on top of some of our coffee table books on our entryway table.

9. SCOTCHGUARD SPRAY (under $15)

My first job when I was 15 was at Lady Foot Locker I learned this hack and kept it up ever since. I always spray my new shoes now, especially with lighter colors or new sandals, etc. Total game changer! There are so many other uses for this Scotchguard Protective Spray too – I also use it on my couches to keep them cleaner for longer.

10. TODDLER SMILEY FACE SANDALS (under $25)

Found these cute smiley face sandals for Ollie to wear this summer. They come in tons of colors (I got the black and yellow for him.) They are under $25!

DETAILS: BROWN TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE M) | SUN HAT (UNDER $100) | WHITE LINEN BUTTON DOWN (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE L) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)

I love this brown two piece from Amazon for a neutral beach-ready look. I ordered it in the blue too and loved it so much I had to get it in this pretty brown. It’s super flattering and looks 10x more expensive than it is. I’ve been loving the pretty linen button-down look as an easy coverup and found this one in multiple colors – it’s a super easy piece you can just throw on for the day as a beach cover up or with denim cut-offs for a day out. For accessories I’m obsessed with this hat! I don’t have anything in this color tone and the cord detail is so good. Also found this one that is under $25. Hats are a must for any beach getaway! also love these colorful rings and beaded chokers to bring in more color.

DETAILS:  CREAM TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | FLORAL HANDBAG (UNDER $20) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)

This multi-color cream two-piece is under $25 and such a good fit! It’s super comfortable and good coverage so it’s functional too (a must with kids!) Love the color palette too. Also got this black & white floral bag – it’s one of those things Tiktok made me buy and I was still a little skeptical until I got it in person and now I’m obsessed. It’s a fun statement accessory and perfect to take down to the pool or beach if you’re packing light.

DETAILS: SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | SHORTS (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM – USUALLY SIZE 9)

These shorts are such a steal! They are under $25 and are a super lightweight material that’s perfect for surviving the summer heat. I got them in a size S and M and they both fit but I liked the looser fit of the medium. So I would size up if you’re in between sizes. I paired them with this knit tank which is another one of my favorite finds. It’s super versatile and so easy to style (also under $20!).

DETAILS: BLACK DRESS (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE S) | RIBBED CLUTCH (UNDER $40) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM – USUALLY 8)

This black dress is probably the biggest silhouette of the season. So sleek and sophisticated but the flirty cut-outs make it perfect for summer. It’s under $25 and comes in multiple colors – love this look for a night out or romantic dinner on the beach! So good with this brown ribbed clutch and gold-chain sandals.

DETAILS: BLACK SET (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE S ) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – MEDIUM – USUALLY SIZE 8)

I shared this black set the other day and it’s selling fast. It it’s the easiest summer outfit but also super versatile since you can mix and match with other pieces. Love the ruffled detail on the top and the slit on the pants makes it feel like such a statement piece. Ordered in both blue and white. Huge steal under $40 for the set!

DETAILS: SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | BLACK PANTS (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE S) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SANDALS (UNDER $30-MEDIUM) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12) | LEATHER CLUTCH (UNDER $40)

Here’s an example of mixing and matching the bottoms from this set. One of the reasons I love neutrals so much is you can combine them for endless outfits – a must when you’re traveling! Love the lightweight trousers with this pretty knit crop – just add a sun dat to keep it feeling summery for an easy daytime look.

Sharing a few more of my favorite neutral beach-finds below!

DETAILS: BROWN TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25) | SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20) | SHORTS (UNDER $25) | LEATHER CLUTCH | SANDALS (UNDER $30) | BLACK DRESS (UNDER $25) | WHITE SHIRTDRESS (UNDER $35) | CREAM TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25) | BLACK SET (UNDER $40) | STRAW BAG (UNDER $30) | TANNING DROPS | SUNSCREEN

Ok moving on to my colorful beach finds!

DETAILS: TIE-DYE BIKINI (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE M) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50)

Love the strap detail on this tie-dye bikini! I’m wearing it in a medium – it definitely runs a little small so if you are in between sizes I would recommend sizing up. (I could’ve even sized up to a large in the top.) It’s pretty cheeky as far as swimsuit bottoms go but the print is so good! Such a fun suit for summer.

DETAILS:  MULTI-COLOR STRAPPY BIKINI (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE M) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30-MEDIUM) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

Another colorful bikini I couldn’t resist. This one comes with this pretty scarf to wrap as a bottom. It’s a great cover up and I love all the bold colors together! Ordered it in a few different colors and similar set with longer wrap skirts, but this one was by far my fave. Obsessed!

DETAILS:  GREEN ROMPER (UNDER $35) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

Any romper this cute for under $50 is a huge win in my book. Love the full silhouette so it reads like a dress but the shorts make it functional enough to be able to wear out and about without having to worry about keeping things covered.

DETAILS: ORANGE RIBBED SET (UNDER $30) | WHITE LINEN BUTTON UP (UNDER $35 – WEARING SIZE L) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $13) | RIBBED CLUTCH (UNDER $40)

I saw someone where an oversized linen button up over a biker shorts set and I was instantly in love! The linen button up is the perfect way to dress up your biker shorts set to make it a little more put together and sophisticated. And how good is this shade of orange!! So pretty! It comes in 7 colors. Also love it with this cute ribbed clutch to take it from gym ready to brunch ready.

The post What To Pack For Your Beach Vacay appeared first on Hello Fashion.

1. SUMMER’S BEST-SELLING SCARF (UNDER $10)

Head scarves are the #1 accessory of the summer in my book! They are the most versatile piece and can be worn is so many ways: as a top (worn with this turquoise scarf), as a head wrap, in your hair, around your bag or even as a bag (I’ll be sharing this trick soon), as a belt, around your hat – the options are endless! I’m obsessed with the color of this scarf with the light pink on top with the contrast on the bottom.

I made a quick 20 second tutorial on how I tie my head scarves here (it’s super easy!).

2. ONE PIECE SWIM (UNDER $25)

You all have been asking for more one piece options and this one is a WIN WIN WIN. This cute one piece I ordered is under $25 and comes in a navy blue and a leopard print as well. The cinched waist is super flattering and you can adjust it to fit you just right! Neutral one pieces can also double as body suits so it’s a great way to get more wear out of it for beach trips etc. I accessorized the black one-piece with this pink scarf head wrap, sunnies, and this cute beaded necklace. Beaded jewelry is one of my favorites right now too – another great essential to have!

3. SUMMER DENIM SHORTS (UNDER $40)

What’s summer with out a cute pair of cut off denim shorts. These Levi cut-offs have been my go-to pair recently. I wear them in a size 27 for a more relaxed fit. These shorts JUST RESTOCKED so snag some while you can! They come in multiple washes and are the perfect length!

DETAILS: SANDALS (UNDER $30)| PINK SCARF (UNDER $10)| SUNNIES | ONE-PIECE (UNDER $25)|  WHITE BUTTON DOWN (UNDER $50)

4. CHIC SUMMER SANDALS (UNDER $30)

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect tan sandals and I finally found some I’m obsessed with! I love the buckle detail and they come in multiple colors, the black is super cute as well. They are under $30 and pair well with so many outfits. Also love this pretty button down! Got it in size large for an oversized, coverup feel.

5. STATEMENT SUMMER SUNGLASSES (UNDER $15)

Last but not least, every girl deserves to find her perfect pair of sunglasses! I’ve been wearing these in black and tortoise non-stop since I got them. They are amazing Celine look-a-likes and under $15 so you don’t feel guilty trying them out.

I’ve also added more of my favorite summer sandals here and some of my favorite colors this season  here.

The post 5 Summer Staples Every Girl Needs Under $50 appeared first on Hello Fashion.

With summer just around the corner, I wanted to share some recent Amazon Swim finds – all are under $50! Let me know which one if your fave below in comments!

BEST FOR AN ADULT GETAWAY: BLACK ONE PIECE (UNDER $30)

Classic but a little flirty – perfect for a girls trip or adult getaway! So pretty in person and I love that you can tie the straps in multiple ways depending on what features you want to play up or down. Super feminine and one of those swimsuits that you can’t help but feel confident in.

SIZE: SMALL

BUM COVERAGE: SEMI-CHEEKY

BEST ONE PIECE: LIME GREEN ONE PIECE  & HOT PINK ONE PIECE (UNDER $25)

Was not expecting to love these suits as much as I do! Super cute fit and flattering cut – it also has adjustable straps which I feel like is rare for such budget-friendly swimsuits. Love the detailing on the back too! Comes in 26 colors and prints – pretty neutrals, neons, and more!

SIZE: MEDIUM

BUM COVERAGE: FULL COVERAGE BUT STILL FLATTERING

FAVORITE OVERALL: RIBBED BLUE AND TEAL BIKINI (UNDER $20) | BLUE WOVEN BAG (SIMILAR HERE)

I could not believe the quality on this one! It was so good I did a double take at the price and was shocked (and then ordered it in multiple more colors haha – how pretty is this tan and black!?) The ribbed detail makes it feel really high-end and I love the multiple color combos.

SIZE: MEDIUM

BUM COVERAGE: SEMI-CHEEKY

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: NEON LEOPARD ONE PIECE

Super disappointed by this one! The colors in real life are a lot darker than online and in pictures and coverage is closer to a thong. Returning this one.

Love the halter and circle ring on this swim top 😍

DETAILS: BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS | PLEATED MINI TOTE | EMBELLISHED SANDALS | SUN HAT | FLORAL TOP (SIMILAR HERE)

Cody always teases me for needing a full sized suitcase (or 2.. haha) no matter how long or short of a trip it is. I had a quick trip planned and decided to put myself to the test to see if I could scale it down to fit in a carry-on… Spoiler alert – I didn’t. 😂  But, I would have if I hadn’t packed my pillow! (Does anyone else have to pack their pillow when they travel to be able to get a good night’s sleep? 🙋‍♀️) But it still felt good to be able to scale down what I was packing to a few pieces to mix-and-match so here were some of my weekend getaway summer essentials:

CLOTHES:

DRESS (SIMILAR HERE)- Dresses are your best friend when you’re trying to squeeze a weekends’ worth of clothes and beauty products into a carry-on. They are an easy one and done piece. Love this pink dress! It’s a gorgeous color (perfect for Insta-worthy pics from your trip!) and the sleeves are sooo stunning! It’s also a really pretty material that you don’t have to steam after you unpack it. Super easy pieces to transition from pool side to dinner with the girls. Also love the silhouette of this one and how pretty is this one?

BIKER SHORTS – Summer is the season of biker shorts! For an easy, breezy look, pair some cute biker shorts with an oversized tank or tee and your favorite sandals and sunnies. (It also makes for a great travel look with an oversized sweatshirt and sneakers!) Obseeeeessed with this pretty floral pair – you can also get the matching top here.

SWIMWEAR:

MINIMAL TAN-LINES BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS  – When I’m traveling with the family, I’m all about the kid-proof swimsuits – something I can swim in and be super active in without worrying about Ollie getting his hands on a strap. But for girl’s trips, it’s all about find suits that will leave the least tan lines. This bikini is so beautiful, and I love that you can wear the straps multiple ways – tied up as a halter or around your torso.

ACCESSORIES:

PLEATED MINI TOTE – Just discovered this brand and I am in love! The pleating detail is absolutely stunning in person. I wanted a mini one that would fit in my carry-on for the trip, but the bigger version is next on my list! Soooo good!

SUN HAT – Because #1, I need both good SPF and a sun hat if I’m going to be in the sun all day and #2, so cute! Love the frayed brim and it’s a great size to give you full shade from every angle.

SHOES:

EMBELLISHED SANDALS (ALSO COMES IN DENIM & WHITE) – I love a good pair of heels, but to save space I went for a pretty embellished sandal that can go from day to night, poolside to dinner.

Saks just launched their Spend/Get promotion where you can get up to $300 off your order with code: STYLE21SF. (Starts at $50 off orders of $250+ and goes all the way up to $300 off order of $1,000.

After the last year of just loungewear and cozy pieces, it’s the perfect chance to make up for lost time and spring on those cute swimsuits and spring/summer pieces to live it up this season!

SWIMSUITS:

You guys know I’m a sucker for swimsuits. I’m obsessed with this black one-piece. The cut is so flattering and feminine and I love the belt detail! Also love all the bright colored swimsuits – this green one is such a pretty color and also love this ombre one piece. I’m in love with this floral bikini set. It’s a beautiful print and the sleeves are so stunning.

SANDALS:

SPRING STYLE:

So many gorgeous dresses and pants out right now – I can’t get enough! This balloon sleeve dress is gorgeous and also love the full sleeves on this pastel dress. I’m also head over heels for this ombre maxi dress – every detail is insane! The color, the fabric, the buttons, the full sleeves. Obsessed! These pants are another one of my favorite finds right now. It’s a pretty knit and love the slits. Perfect to pair with a bodysuit or as a swimsuit cover up. And of course, accessories! How good is this straw bucket hat! I also found this visor for under $50.

I have this one (under $100) in multiple colors (last seen here) and still get tons of questions on it – it’s super comfortable and really good material, so great for any body type.

The post The Chicest Summer Pants Under $100 that Feel like Sweats appeared first on Hello Fashion.

SIMILAR SWIMSUIT DETAILS: GREEN CHECKER BIKINI TOP | COIN PENDANT NECKLACE (ANOTHER OPTION HERE) | LEOPARD BIKINI | RATTAN VISOR | RATTAN BUCKET BAG | RUFFLE BLACK BIKINI | BLACK TIE SUNHAT | GOLD EARRINGS | WHITE BIKINI TOP | HEADWRAP | THICK BAND WHITE BIKINI TOP | FLOPPY HAT | CRINKLE ONE PIECE (EXACT) | LINEN BUTTON UP

Swimsuit season is upon us and it makes me so happy to think about laying out in the sun! Because of everything going on right now, it’s sad to say that this season won’t quite be as adventurous as your typical summer break but that does not mean you can’t enjoy a couple new suits to get your tan on (even if that means laying out in your backyard)! Here are a few of my favorite looks on Pinterest right now:

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

This checkered bikini is everything. I love the lime green checkered top paired with some layered coin necklaces completing a total vintage vibe! I found a similar bikini here and have this & this coin pendant I love that would pair perfectly!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

Obsessed with this thick band top- I found this one that’s super cute. I love a white swimsuit because it makes you look more tan than you actually are (I need all the help I can get after that long winter). The floppy hat gives it a completed look, I love this one and I would even maybe pair with some thin gold hoops like these!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

The crinkle one piece is my all-time favorite swimsuit look! I have a few suits with this fabric and let me tell you- they are so comfortable and flattering on! I love the turtle shell accent on this suit and a simple white button-up like this to throw over as a cover-up for a classy monochromatic look. Here is this exact one piece!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

A black swimsuit is a swim season must. I always feel like they’re so flattering on and are perfect for a low key look. Black goes with everything it’s so easy to wear with some gold jewelry like these earrings and I love her black-tie sunhat like this one! I think black always pair really good with denim cutoffs like these for an on the go look.

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

Give me all the leopard patterns! You can never go wrong with this pattern- this string bikini is so fun I found a really similar one here (also obsessed with this one from one of my favorite swimwear brands last seen here). I love her tie rattan bucket bag I found a cute one here and I seriously want to buy this visor!

(IMAGE VIA PINTEREST)

This is one of my favorite inspo photos I found! I love the idea of wearing a headwrap like hers paired with a white bikini. It allows you to have a little fun with the wrap while keeping a simple look for your swimsuit. I love this headwrap I found and this similar swimsuit!

I’ve also been drawn to all the bright suits (doesn’t hurt that they make your tan look even darker 😉 This pink one is so good and I love the look of the ribbed material and also this cute sporty striped option.

Their accessories are also sooooo good. I wish I owned everything from this brand – this bag is perfect and this one! 😍 I also love the ribbon tie detail on this stunning straw hat. They also have every sandal you could ever want. I ordered this strappy pair and also love these tan slides.

Happy Monday guys! We were supposed to head to Europe last week, but after a series of unfortunate events (I got a sunus infection and Beckam’s passport didn’t come in time) we are still here in Utah (but leaving soon!!). We had a lazy weekend at home and it was super nice. I took the fam to the best new breakfast place too, but it’s a dangerous one – so many delicious pastries and the french toast was amazing.

I got a few questions on this swimsuit I posted this weekend. It’s a cream color and the stitching with the straps makes it feel like so timeless, like it could fit into any decade. I also love a white men’s button up and matching baseball hat for a pool or beach day cover up to take a page straight from 90’s fashion. Below are some other pool day combos for a timeless, easy look!

Our server recommended the pog juice (passion fruit – orange – guava) and I almost turned it down for my favorite fresh-squeezed orange juice, but I’m so glad I didn’t! The pog juice was delicious – definitely try it when you get a chance! The mini muffins were a close second – yum! I went back every morning and got them as a morning snack even the days we went off property to eat 😉

2. Spacious Rooms: The suites are really large and perfect for families! We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with  Cody’s brother and his family. It’s so perfect for family trips!  The room had a full kitchen so you can cook/prepare meals instead of eating out every meal. It also has a full washer and dryer which comes in handy after a few family trips to the beach. The balconies are also amaaaaazing they have tons of places to sit with a super comfy oversized chair and half you can cuddle with the fam and a table and chairs to eat dinner or play games.  We would just sit and enjoy the view every night! All of the rooms are ocean-facing so you have beautiful views wherever you are at which is pretty unique for properties.

The view from the spa!

Before and After at the spa – such a cool facial!

3. The Spa: The views at the spa are insane! Cody and his brother still love to work out even when were on vacation, and they said the facilities were really nice. I go for more of the R&R approach 😉 I had the Valmont North America masterpiece facial and it was heaven. I always try to pack face masks on trips because traveling wreaks havoc on your skin, but obviously I would take a spa facial over a sheet mask any day haha. They do multiple masks on your skin so you leave GLOWING! One of the masks during the facial is called the ‘Cinderella mask’ because it just makes your skin beautiful and I was really excited for the collagen mask – it’s a medical grade collagen mask so it has instant plumping and fullness. Seriously so good! You have to try it if you have a chance to visit the spa. Also the view from the spa was all the heart eyes.

4. Always thinking of the kids. One of my favorite things about the Montage is they really cater to kids. We’ve stayed at a couple of their properties around the US and they always appeal to the kids to much. They give them free stuffed animals, Beckam still has his shark, and picked out one for Mara and Wes. They also do this merit badge program for the kids! They can earn different badges for activities like seeing wildlife, learning how to hula, going to a luau, all sorts of different things. Beckam was set on getting as many as he could and he would carry his paper with his badges around all day. We brought them home and he wants to put them on his backpack now 🙂 Another hit with the kids is the koi pod. Beckam loved getting to feed the fish in the Koi pond – he remembered it from last time we came to the Montage for lunch and was so excited to be able to do it again while we stayed here this time!

5. Cliff Jumping: Cody is always looking for his next chance to do something crazy! Last time we were here I did it too, so ladies get brave it’s not that bad! I was just paranoid with being pregnant doing anything extreme. But this is a super close walk from the resort, maybe 5 minutes, and the water is so clear and crystal blue!  Even Beckam jumped! Proud/terrifying mama moment! Haha.

6. The Grounds and Gardens. I am a sucker for flowers it’s no joke, the whole property at the Montage is covered with the most gorgeous flowers! and gardens! I was stopping every couple minutes so excited about the flowers haha. 

7.  Easy Beach access and Whale Watching: Walking around the property in the early morning, you could see whales! They have access to a beach that is a 1 minute walk. Everyone we talked to said its some of the best snorkeling! We didn’t make it snorkeling but have it on our list for next time!

The pool area is so nice they have lots of padded lounge chairs, umbrellas, and the big chair and half that you fit with a couple people, and it’s not over crowded. There is nothing worse than when you feel so claustrophobic at the pool jammed with people. It was peak season, full occupancy during Spring Break and you didn’t feel crowded at all. 

One of my favorite pictures of B, I didn’t say pose like this or relax on the floaty or anything I just looked over and he had his arms up like this with his eyes closed I could not stop laughing! They also have a large shallow area for the kids, Beckam made instant friends with other kids staying and they would play catch for hours!

DETAILS: WHITE ONE PIECE (UNDER $100)

8. We’ve never met a beach in Hawaii that we didn’t like, but when it comes to pools these ones were so beautiful! We always bounce back and forth between the pool and the beach and the Montage Kapalua has an amazing pool area, complete with multiple different pools, tons of places for kids to play (including mini waterfalls!).

9. The views. When you first walk into the resort the view literally takes your breath away (I’m so mad I took like 4 videos of it but didn’t get a picture 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️). Every person that walks in pauses, and especially at sunset its unreal. Make a point to go down to the beach or the lawn at sunset, it’s so beautiful!  

Now that I’m reliving it I’m ready to go back, haha! Do you guys have any fun beach trips coming up?

Hawaii is always one of my favorite destinations – it has become a family tradition to go every winter and we are always jumping at any chance we have to go back. I always get so excited for the beautiful flowers, great weather, and of course the chance to trade in my sweaters for swimsuits!

I just got this white one piece and love the mesh cut out details. It’s also super comfortable – it has adjustable shoulder straps which I have discovered is a game changer if you have a long torso like me. A lot of times with one pieces, it’s either a wedgie in the back or my boobs hanging out in the front haha – so needless to say I love that you can adjust the shoulder straps for Summersalt’s suits. They also have built in padding in the bra so you don’t have to worry about getting too cold (if you know what I mean ;). All of their suits are really great quality and under $100 too. (It’s also a smaller company and the owner is so sweet I love supporting other women-owned businesses!)

Below are some other Summersalt styles I love:

The post The Swimsuits Under $100 I’m Obsessed With appeared first on Hello Fashion.

This swimsuit is one of my new favorites! So comfy & flattering.

DETAILS: SWIMSUIT BOTTOM | TOP | HAT (Old -Similar)  | SUNGLASSES

Everyone loves a good beach trip right?! I got so many requests and messages asking me to share what I packed / what my beach vacay essentials are. My outfit above is one of my favorites from the trip, and I have rounded up some other essentials that I took with me as well.

On beach trips, I always pack a big floppy straw hat to help protect me from the sun, and a big straw bag (shown in pic below) to hold all my stuff in for the beach. This is the bag I took to Hawaii recently and I loved it! I’ve actually had it for 2 years I think and they just restocked it. It’s such a good bag and can hold a lot but not be too heavy.

The majority of the clothing I take with me are cute swimsuits, cover ups, and light weight linens for the beach and pool! I found this brand last year called POSSE and their pieces are AMAZING! They are really light weight and I love the neutral color palette they have. I’m wearing their rose linen top above. I try to take neutral cover ups that go with anything, so that I can wear them more than once.

This flowy maxi dress (shown above) is amazing! This brand has lots of cute flow pieces that are colorful and playful.

You can’t forget swimsuits!! I love this swimsuit, this one piece suit, and this one piece that I shared on my Instagram!  This swimsuit (shown above) on is a good one for any body type, comes in like 10 colors and it’s under $100.

Comfy pants are an essential of mine for beach vacations too! I like to have something lightweight and flows (in case you get burned 😉 or it’s just too hot and you don’t want crazy tight fitting clothes.  I got these pants and wore them almost every other night to dinner. I love how effortless and cute they look and they’re so comfy to throw on after a long day outside they feel like pajamas! These are a BIG STAPLE!

For makeup, I always stay very minimal when outside at the pool and beach – I rarely do my makeup when we travel.  I usually just put on some tinted moisturizer – this one is a recent favorite and I love that it has SPF in it!

And of course – its always important to have a good suitcase to get you to the beach!  I got this cute red suitcase a couple months ago and I am still loving it. I have also been using this bag when traveling – I love that its big and holds everything I need as a purse and is easy to clean!

Let me know if I missed anything you saw me wearing and I will be sure to link it!  Hope this helps when packing and hope you are all going somewhere fun & warm soon 🙂

The post What to Pack for a Beach Trip appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Hey guys! Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons to shop for so I’m always adding summery pieces to my cart – especially ones that I can transition into fall. We are total beach people and always make it a point to go to a beach at least once every few months, so I’m buying swimwear year-round. I think swimwear is my biggest weakness! I’m always drawn towards pastels and neutrals, and how cute is this light pink one piece? Love the crochet detail. I’m also a major sucker for stripes so I this bikini set and this oversized button up that you can wear as a swimsuit coverup or with cut-offs of jeans. Sandals are another piece that I end up wearing most of the year and I just found this updated version of the sandals I’ve been living in this season! I wear the white non-stop but also love the bright yellow!  I’ve also been realizing I need to freshen up my bag game and fell in love when I came across this one – it’s an investment but it’s one of those bags you’ll own and wear forever. Also love this one that’s at a really accessible price point and will go with everything.

What are your summer staples that you wear all yearround?! Shop more of my favorites below!

The post 16 Pieces You’ll Buy This Season and Wear All Year appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Swimsuits – the one piece you will find an excuse to wear any time of year! I am always finding cute swimsuits year-round – they are the best inspiration to plan your next beach getaway! As much as I love bold and bright swimwear, you can never have enough neutral options. They are a quick grab, easy to wear, and super versatile since they work with anything and everything. They can also do double duty and act as a flirty crop top under a button down or as a bodysuit when you are traveling. Below are a few more of my favorite neutral swimsuits of the moment!

RUFFLED LACE SWIMSUIT

Move over Little White Dress – this white lacy number will have you feeling flirty and feminine. Love the plunge neck with the ruffle detail to keep it from reading too sweet. 

KNOTTED HATLER SWIMSUITS

A classic halter with an updated twist, this dusty rose swimsuit has that statement effect in the prettiest shade that will make any tan look 10x better.

TORTOISE BANDEAU BIKINI

There’s something so simple but elegant about a bandeau, and the tortoise loops on this one are an instant upgrade!

KNOTTED BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS

The simple bikini silhouettes that were so big in the 80s and 90s are back in full force, but as fresh as ever with modern details. Can’t get over the knotted detail on this bikini!

RUFFLED ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT

There’s nothing like a ruffled, flutter sleeve detail to turn simple into a statement. This white one piece is equal parts flirty and feminine – just begging to see a beach!

POLKA DOT ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT (UNDER $100)

Prints and patterns can act as neutrals too. Spend the day spotted under the sun in this fun polka dot suit – even better, it’s on sale under $100!

ONE SHOULDER BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS

Obsessed with this crisp woven off the shoulder. Neutrals can stand out too – just look for pieces with embellishment. How pretty is the embroidery on this set?

NUDE ONE PIECE WITH MESH DETAIL

Nothing says 2018 like a nude swimsuit (thank you Kardashians!). I love the mesh stripe cut-outs that give this one an athletic vibe – just throw on your favorite sporty slides and you are ready for an active day in the sun!

Which one is your favorite?
