This time of year our weather is usually gloomy and still kind of chilly. But that never stops me from thinking ahead to warmer months (ie. July through October) and swimsuit season. I've seen SO many cute suits already this year... I wanted to round up my favorites. All are budget friendly too!

Another day, another bikini. 🙂 We're currently in the midst of a heatwave so it only seems apropiate to keep riding this wave. Over the past couple of seasons I've started getting into high-waisted bikinis. I got this one at an event a couple of months ago and tucked it away for our Palm Springs trip. The bright floral print is so fun, it's from Show Me Your Mumu's Barbie collection - which I couldn't love more.
When we were in Palm Springs I didn't wear makeup or do my hair once. It was so nice. We took these pictures after a full day outside. I threw on my friend Ashley's hat to cover my wet (from the pool) hair. This bikini is probably my new favorite. First of all the color is amazing, it's a bright/deep fuchsia that is perfect for summer. I also love the smocked off the shoulder top. It's so different from most of my bikini tops.
Now that we're in July it really feels like summer is in full swing around here. I recently got a bunch of new swimsuits and am so excited to live in them all season long. This turquoise lace cover up tunic is so cute over it's matching turquoise bikini. I felt slightly 60's fab in this sheer lace tunic which was perfect for our location.

My friends and I would slather ourselves in tanning oil before going to the beach. There we’d bake in the sun all day, rinse and repeat. It makes me cringe thinking about the amount of damage I inflicted on my poor skin! Ahh if I could turn back time…

Even though we still have awhile before we’ll be breaking out the boots and jackets, I wanted to end the week by sharing some of my favorite summer finds. These are by no means limited to warm weather, just the little things I’ve been loving this season.
