I know I'm not alone with this thought, but towards the end of every winter (and summer, honestly) I start to get anxious for the next season. Our winter hasn't been bad - we haven't had too much rain or really cold weather but I'm definitely ready for spring + summer and everything that comes with warm weather. I'm also starting to shop or look at new arrivals and get excited about dressing for sunny days again. Of course that includes swimwear, so today I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to dress my swimsuits up a little...

We just got back from a quick staycation at Monarch Beach Resort. It was my first time being away from both kids overnight in SO LONG. Jeff and I went with friends and had a blast. We packed a lot into just over 24 hours and I packed several outfits as well. I wanted to share a breakdown of everything I wore.

Calendar wise the end of August is typically the end of summer, but in southern California (and several other places), summer is just heating up. We will have really hot days until at least Halloween and this year I really want to soak them up at the beach as much as possible. Usually by September the crowds are a lot smaller and the beach is easier to do. Fingers crossed that's still true for this wacky year.

It's officially my summer, my favorite season! We've had a lot of June gloom the past few weeks, but I'm hoping most of that is behind us. I recently cleaned out my closet and found a pair of sunglasses I thought I lost last summer. I purchased this pair over a year ago on Amazon for under $20 and have loved them so much. I recently found another pair with a slightly different shape that I've been wearing non-stop the past few weeks. It got me thinking about some of my other summer favorites, and how they're all from Amazon.

Another post from our backyard... when the weather's nice we practically live out here. The kids have been loving playing in the inflatable pool and water table. A few weeks ago I realized Wilder didn't have a swimsuit that fit currently so I went to order some. I had no idea how hard it would be to find cute swimsuits for little boys! I'm able to find Crosby cute swimsuits basically anywhere so this is a new challenge. I've done a deep dive on in the internet and finally found some cute options.

outfit details -

on me: saha swimsuit (two years old, this one is similar), similar hat, sunglasses

on Crosby: zara swimsuit

on Wilder: zara swimsuit (sold out, this one is similar)

Shopbop is having their spring sale now through March 8th. It's one of my favorite times to stock up on items that rarely (if ever) go on sale. And the more you spend, the more you save.
