Summer time is here, and the heat has come to join the party! It’s no secret that my family and I love to be outside whenever possible. With the hot days ahead of us, we will spend a lot of time lounging outside in our swimwear. Getting into a bathing suit can be a stressful thing for us ladies. Unfortunately, we tend to be our own worst critics and sometimes cringe at the thought of wearing a bathing suit in public. The good news is that there are so many options to choose from when picking out a swimsuit, you can find something for every size, shape and age that will hopefully leave you feeling fantastic. My hope is every single woman feels proud of the body she has and rocks a swimsuit with confidence because you are beautiful exactly as you are! So, if you are still in search for that perfect suit, check out some of my favorites below. I have also linked some of the cutest cover- ups that are trending this summer. I always love to have at least one cover-up with me when we are out, so I can throw it over top of my bathing suit and feel comfortable and stylish at the same time. Stay cool during these hot months and keep looking fabulous!

Beach Pattern One Piece

I featured this one piece on my Instagram a couple of months ago and gave out some to a couple of my followers in a giveaway. I am still loving this stylish bathing suit and all of the other choices Cupshe has. The prices are also super affordable!

Floral Tankini Two Piece

Amazon for the win- again! I love this two-piece tankini set. The top has a built-in tummy control and the bottoms are boy shorts that provide extra coverage for your bum. I’m also loving the pretty floral pattern and colors!

Off the Shoulder One Piece

Does anyone else think of the iconic Barbie swimsuit when looking at this? I do and it’s giving me all the feels! This one piece gives an extra glam look with an off the shoulder design and gives full front coverage.

High Waist Bikini Bottoms

How cute are these high waisted bikini bottoms from Target? I love the cute design on the sides. Also Target lets you mix and match tops and bottoms, making it easy to pick what style you like the best!

Plunge One Piece

This one piece from Nordstrom is fun and flirty while keeping yourself fully covered. It also has cute tortoise colored rings at the shoulders which gives it an extra hint of excitement!

Two Piece Ruffled Crop Top with Cut Out Bottoms

I am in love with this two piece from Amazon. The ruffled top is so feminine and provides great coverage. It comes in a ton of different colors and I love the mismatched look of the bottoms.

Twist Back Swim Cover-Up

This is the comfiest cover-up from Old Navy. It comes in multiple colors and the price can’t be beat! It is perfect to throw on while walking around shopping at the beach!

Maxi Cover-Up

This maxi cover-up from Nordstrom is gorgeous and perfect for a beach resort with your honey. It’s breezy and elegant for a day or night date at the beach!

Boyfriend Cover-Up Shirt

I love this new trend that is making a splash this summer time. This oversized shirt is a perfect casual and fun top to throw on for extra coverage when at the pool!

When I’m not working out or lounging in my leggings, my favorite thing to wear is jeans. Anyone else a denim lover? Jeans are perfect for almost every occasion- you can wear them dressed down and for comfort or dressed up for a night on the town. I have seen so many new styles come out over the past year- different lengths, distressing, colors, leg width and the list goes on. I find myself wanting all of them so I am always on the hunt for a good sale. In addition to jeans, I am noticing a ton of other cute denim pieces that are being added to a lot of ladies wardrobes this Spring. I feel like denim is one thing that will never go out of style, so it is worth the splurge to build up your collection. Even when one look becomes a little less popular, it always comes back full circle at some point! Check out some of my favorite pieces below and snag yourself a few to rock this Spring!

Handbags. One of my favorite accessories that there ever was! I know there are plenty of people (mainly my husband) who do not understand my love for a good handbag. It is something that should be functional to hold whatever items I need when I leave my house. Does it really matter what it looks like as long as its main purpose is being fulfilled? To this I say yes- yes it does. A purse is something I use every single day. And while I do need it to provide a level of functionality on holding my everyday necessities, it’s also so much more than that to me. Most ladies like to accessorize an outfit after they’ve spent time getting a shower and doing their hair and makeup. A handbag can be the last thing you add that will pull your entire outfit together! And, can we just take a minute to acknowledge how many choices we have when picking out a purse?  They come in so many different sizes, shapes, materials, and colors that there is a perfect choice for everyone! How in the world would we be able to narrow down the choices to only one or two and base it on functionality only? When my handbag game is on point with whatever style I am rocking that day, I feel like my entire look is complete! Spring time is the perfect chance to start hunting for a new handbag for the upcoming warmer weather. Every designer is racking their brains on coming out with something new and eye catching. I’ve listed below some of the new trends that are taking over this Spring! Check out some of my favorites and let me know if you snag any of them so I can have purse envy!

Straw Bags

Straw bags are making an appearance everywhere this year! I love how many different shapes and colors they come in as well. I think they are the perfect accessory for a beach vacation or a warm summer date night!

Woven Straw Tote

Beach Weekend Straw Tote

Circle Straw Crossbody

Clear Bags

Clear bags are back again this year. I wasn’t sure how I felt about them when they first came out. But, I love how easy it is to find whatever I need. It also motivates me to keep my bag organized and cleaned out since you can see everything inside of it!

Clear Tote Bag

Yellow Trim Clear Bag

Neon Colored Bags

I love purses that are bright and stand out. Neon colors are popping up everywhere. If you are wearing a darker colored outfit, these can really brighten up your look!

Patent Bag

Lanyard Bags

Lanyard “bags” are making a big splash on the runways this year. I wasn’t sure at first because they obviously don’t hold much. But, if you are running a quick errand and just need your license and one card they work well. They could also be perfect when you are in the airport and need to keep your ID close by and you don’t want to have to rummage through a large bag to find it.

Lanyard

Bucket Bags

I am obsessed with this bucket bag from Express. It is a perfect size to hold all of your date night essentials and dress up any outfit. You also can’t beat the price!
