Fresh Picks to Follow: Bathing Suits

Hi everyone - I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I know I did.  I just got back from a quick weekend getaway in Miami with my family.  We had our first family reunion ever and we had a blast.  I spent my whole weekend with my family in SoBe relaxing on Miami Beach, shopping at the Lincoln Road Mall and going to the nightclubs.  Of course we met some family members for the first time, we reminisced about the good ole days and learned more about our family genealogy.  It was a great trip, but I just wish I had more time down in Miami.  Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow bright and early.  Sigh.

Well, obviously I didn’t have time to post my Fresh Picks on Friday, so here it is.  I saw so many great bathing suits at the beach this weekend and I wanted to share my favorites with you.  Check out my top 10 bathing suits for this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow.

July Wish List – Top 3

I think that Anthropologie really has some great pieces in their stores right now.  What do you guys think?  I went into the store over the weekend and tried on a few items that I really loved.  I plan to post some reviews very soon, so stay tuned.  I recently realized that I haven’t been sticking to my original intent of posting my wish list.  I’ve been posting my top 3 items, but I haven’t been buying those particular items.  Somehow I keep ending up buying various other items that never originally made my radar.  Help!...I have a real shopping problem :)  I’m going to try to get better.  Anyways, here are my top 3 items for the month of July that I can’t live without.  What are your must have items this month?

Fresh Picks to Follow: Beach Bags

Happy Fourth of July weekend everyone!  I'm super excited for this long holiday weekend to begin.  Do you all have big plans?  Are you traveling anywhere or are you keeping it local?  I’m having a low key weekend with my family and friends and I can’t wait for a little R&R.   

Starting this weekend, I plan to take advantage of the sunny weather and surrounding beaches more than ever before.  I don’t know why I don’t go to beach more often, but that’s going to change this summer.  I’m going to pack up my beach bag with all of my summer essentials and relax on the beach.  I already have a couple of beach bags, but I’m always in search of the perfect bag.  I always make sure that my bag is big enough to fit all of my belongings and that it’s sturdy and durable.  I usually load up my bag with a beach towel to sit on, a beach towel to dry myself, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a book or magazines to read, my iPod, lip gloss, some food to snack on and some water.  Check out my top 10 beach bags for this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow.  Are you headed to the beach this weekend? What do you pack in your beach bag?
