3 really good looking beach rentals in the bahamas

i'm in beach mode. and i don't even love the beach. but i DO love to be on vacation. wherever that may be. 

 

first up is coral house. owned by popular and adorable blogger chassity evans, coral house sleeps 10 with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, has it's own private pool and overlooks the harbour.

recently decorated throughout, chassity used biscuit bedding in all the bedrooms. 

i love how simple and clean and fresh everything is. no personal, dusty shit lying around.

you can follow chassity's instagram for updates as well as the coral house instagram.

 

next up...

 jewelbox is situated in dunmore town and sleeps 6 with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. 

ditto the clean and fresh vibe. 

 

and lastly...

chances are you've probably seen salt box before. it's owned by interior designer tom scheerer and has been around the blog/book/magazine block. 

salt box is located in the heart of harbour island, sleeps 10 with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. there is a main house (3 bedrooms) and a cottage (2 bedrooms). 

there is also a private pool. 

you can see more of salt box here

 

which one would you choose?!?!?!!

 

 

the return of the summer uniform

a jort, a decent heel (not too high), a tee and a statement earring is my summer lewk.

new vintage cotton tee (so many colors) /  floral earrings  / contrast denim shorts (buying these for sure) / ankle cuff sandals

salut tee / pineapple earrings / perfect jean short langdon wash / peep toe ankle boots

 

i am pretty much comfortable wearing this formula to get coffee or to the grocery store as i am a night out with friends. it just works.

likewise noteworthy-  i bought this shirt about a month or so ago and i love it. it's soft (like a good sheet), washes well (air dry it) and it works with just about everything. i've worn it with cut offs and high waisted skinny jeans (front tucked in) and with these pants all with great success.

we are beach bound mid-june,

which means i will probably take a stab at the 3-day anti-bloat reset.

 

i read this the other day and related SO hard i was nearly in tears. (srsly. this should be mandatory reading for every human on earth who is or plans on being married with kids.)

 

i want to eat the ass out of this. but mostly i want to try my hand at that fancy frosting flair up top. looks like chocolate brass knuckles. 

 

this cover up in every color for the beach. 

 

this hat too. like those expensive ones only much much less. 

 

the rms signature set - pop collection is perfect for summer. a little milk chocolate bronzer here, a little living luminizer there....and a poppy red (or rosy pink) cheek to lip. 

 

here's to a gorgeous holiday weekend and a drama free summer!

enjoy yourself a lady cocktail or 4. 

 

 

 

hi/lo summer bags

"i already have enough summer bags!!" - said no one ever. 

i've rounded up my favorites both hi and lo..

 

hi: 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

 

lo: 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

some of the "hi" bags aren't really that hi at all. some you might have to be high to buy. for example...#1 in the hi category isn't that hi at all and is SO striking. 

 

guys i am at home with a face the size of a catcher's mitt due to a wisdom tooth removal yesterday. the swelling is legit crazy and i feel like i've been hit by a truck. is this normal? thank you.
