Spring

It's that time of year again. Spring has sprung and summer is right around the corner. I am so looking forward to warm weather weekends and summertime cookouts with friends and family. I'm already diving into all the wonderful spring fashions. I wanted to share a few items on my warm weather checklist.

 

Sunless tanner 

This is a must have. I have a history of some serious skin issues and can't tan in the sun or tanning bed. Believe me when I tell you I have tried almost every sunless tanner on the market. Faux tan by Bare Minerals is my favorite. It offers the most realistic color. It's easy to apply and the tan lasts a good amount of time. If you are interested in this product, I've found that QVC offers the most bang for your buck. They carry the item in a size that's not available at most retailers. I use this product throughout the year. 

Bathing suits

I realized this year that I haven't bought a new bathing suit since I got married. I invested in some pricey bathing suits for our honeymoon and just really haven't needed to buy any until NOW. Truth be known I probably have too many bathing suits. I was in serious search mode for a bathing suit in February because I don't know if you've noticed but bathing suits tend to get picked over.  I found the cutest suits at Express. Express just started a swimsuit line and let me tell you I was impressed. I got two suits that fit so well for a price that can't be beat. They were on sale when I bought them. 

 

Can't wait to wear these on our 5 beach trips we've planned. 

Cover up

If you haven't been to Old Navy this season you should go. They have the cutest clothes and wonderful prices. I've stocked up with so many cute things it would be embarrassing to show all of them to you. One item, I found was this super cute bathing suit cover up. 

 

 

Sandals

I have this pair of everyday sandals that match close to everything I own.

They were a little more expensive than I would normally spend but they have held up well and still look great. FYI: I really wouldn't mind getting another pair in a different color.

Thora Sandals

 I'm really wanting to invest in some cute wedges. I bought this pair 2 years ago.

I love the universal color of these. They seriously match everything. They still carry them and I'm debating on getting a new pair. Here are a few others I like.

All of these styles can be found at DSW
