Alice + Olivia: Cody Color Block Dress

Sombrilla Sun Shade

Do you burn in the sun? Do you freckle? Do you tan really dark and don't like how you look with a tan? I know people who fit into all of the above categories (myself included), and this looks like an awesome option. I remember when I went to the beach town of Lagos, Portugal. The sun was bright and strong, and although my pale bestie and I enjoyed our time down by the water, we both wanted to avoid the harsh rays. We choose to rent a sun umbrella, and curl up into little balls under the small amount of shade. This is a better (and more stylish) option. Sun safety (and pale skin) is sexy people! Cancer is not.

What To Wear: Coachella - Sunglasses

Spending your days in the sun requires that you protect your peepers. Not only is staring into the sun uncomfortable, but sun damage also leads to wrinkles. Best to plan ahead with a handful of fun and stylish options. Best of all, most of these shades cost around $20. Meaning if and when you lose them you won't cry too much. You'll just reach into your bag for your next pair.

 Why so much ASOS? Well, for one, they ship all over the world, which really increases your chance of being able to get your hands of them, dear reader. Also, they ship to Canada FOR FREE. And you know I like that!

Beach

Back at work and sending out this ode to the San Diego beaches I left behind. Even though it was pretty cold there. And even though I tend to get bored on a beach. But I had a good book, and a handsome boy with me. Hard not to enjoy that!

Chanel Red Gingham Bikini

I am back! The trip was great, although much too short. Yes, it is possible to say that about all vacations, but flying 8 hours to and from London for 5 days may have been pushing it, especially for my first trip there. There is so much more of the city to explore! There is so much shopping still to do! But alas, back to work today, still jet legged. I apologize for my absence this past week, but I beg for your forgiveness with this cute Chanel bikini from their Resort 2011 collection. How adorable is it? I hope someone comes our with a more affordable version. One new bikini each year is allowed. This may be it.
