Summer Swimsuits

I love finding a comfortable bathing suit that I can wear all summer long. 

Since I was born and raised less than a mile from the beach, it was a tradition to pick up a new swimsuit every summer. When my tastes starting evolving to more designer wear, I kept up with my desire for an annual suit for summer by shopping at H&M and Target. While I love my strapless swimsuit from the season, I don't mind coveting a few numbers found on my Pinterest boards {I wear.... & Seasonal}.

I've always been inspired by color. But up until a few years ago, I was a plain Jane. I saw women wearing fun accessories and bright pink shoes, but couldn't ever bring myself to add those fun additions to my wardrobe. Now I'm all about adding a bit of flare to every ensemble, even if it comes in the form of a blue sparkly ball {one of my favorite accessories that always starts a conversation} or bright pink flats.

There's something so refreshing about summer. The colors, the heat, and the long days make it easy to fall it love with the season. I'm getting inspired this year by fun Etsy finds - including Kilim's shoes. Made from hand-woven Turkish rugs and bound by supple leather, they might be the perfect go-to slip on for that unique pop this year. Of course, Ikat pillows are always on my mind, especially when it comes time to find that perfect summer ensemble that'll put me in the right mood.

Etsy Obsession

I absolutely love Etsy, and although sometimes I forget it's around when I'm searching for something particular for my home, office or wardrobe it is always nice to get little reminders {like this one from Anne} about how wonderful this site is. I've only purchased a few things from here {like these sweet tiles} but every time something new pops up in my mailbox it's pleasantly packaged to perfection and completely fitting for my personal space. 

Though sometimes the items are a bit quirky, Etsy is an essential marketplace for anyone looking for something unique for their home, vintage finds or splendid local deals. I can't wait until I can completely outfit my home with some new additions - like those pillows!

I'm pretty excited to be making this purchase for our new home. 

These four little letters can't better explain what's getting put into our new casa - 

lots of L-O-V-E!
