Alys Beach | Summer

Alys Beach struck again! Trust me when I tell you that I will never be able to get enough of this place. It was beach day, which surprisingly is not every day when we are down there. I love love love to mix and match bathing suit tops and bottoms. I don't think anyone would disagree with me when I say the moment swimsuits come out in Target, you better run to get your favorite ones. Your size will go out of stock faster than you could imagine! I fell in love with this baby blue flouncy top when swimsuits first came out this season. The criss-cross strap design in the back is a detail that has made this top one of my favorites for the summer. The polka dot bottoms are from a few seasons ago, but similar ones are linked below. I wanted to break up the solid bright blue with a neutral colored print. (Hence, black and white polka dots.) 

Sometimes, I am too lazy to pull out a delicate designed cover-up or hot white linen pants that end up getting dirty at the bottom because of sand. Instead, I opt for simple denim cutoffs, such as these Forever 21 white ones pictured below, and grab an unbuttoned chambray shirt or a light kimono like here.  I used to dislike flip-flops with a passion, so I would never wear them. However, something inside me switched this summer, and now I always have a pair sitting by the front door for me to quickly throw on. I realized the practicality and easiness of them real fast. 

Whenever school is out, I try to get down to Alys with William and his family as much as I can. Sooo, even though I just got back from a week and day long trip, I am headed back down there with William, a couple of our friends, and his family for the Fourth of July week once more. I cannot wait to show y'all more summer looks while I am down there!

Have a fabulous rest of the week!
