Beach Envy

In these last few weeks of pregnancy it's getting harder and harder to fall back to sleep after my many visits to the restroom.  So I sat up at 4 am online shopping and browsing through the many new summer items in my favorite shops' collections.  


I've had major beach envy these days, and naturally, with the coming of warmer weather, I am browsing through bathing suits, cover ups, flowing maxi dresses, beach hats, bags and sunglasses.


Here are a few of my favorites for this spring/summer season:

Loures Bow Bikini - Anthropologie

While I might not want to jump straight into that number, it sure is adorable.  Wouldn't you agree?

Bordered Lobelia Bikini - Anthropologie

Whimsically beachy.  I'm all about the bow tops.

Soludos Woven Espadrille's - ShopBop

I've got a pair of these in a thin pink stripe.  I wore them all through my beach vacation last summer and loved them.  Definitely a fun flip flop alternative.

Summer's Swirl Espadrille's - Anthropologie

While the Soludos are a much cheaper alternative, if you're looking to be spendy come beach season, you can't go wrong with these awesomely psychedelic espadrille's.

Thayer 'Wild One' Maxi Dress - ShopBop

Love the lilac shade of this dress and the asymmetrical hemline.  It seems like the ideal beach dress because it could go from beachy day wear to a pretty evening dress with the addition of strappy heels, a bun and some makeup when you want to pop into a nice restaurant for a bit after soaking in all the sun and salt water.

Stripe Knit Tunic - JCrew

It's not breaking news that I am a fan of stripes.  Most of my t-shirts are striped.  I just love the nautical look of a good, bold, horizontal stripe.  So naturally, this cover-up caught my attention.  It's easy, casual, and comfortable.

Caribbean Swirl Sunhat - Anthropologie

Love the color and shape of this sunhat.  So precious.


I can't wait for summer!
