Larger tote bags are ideal for weekend trips because they can easily house all of your essentials in style! Canvas bags or basket totes are our top picks for summer!
Easy & Breezy Button-Down
A lightweight white button down in a cotton or linen makes for one incredibly versatile getaway essential! Cuff the sleeves and wear it over a swimsuit to the beach or try it tied up with a flirty floral midi skirt!

April 24th, 2019 by Jennifer Beile 6 One-Piece Swimsuit Styles You Need in Your Closet
Gone are the days when women had two swimsuit options for the beach: a bikini that left you feeling too exposed or a standard one-piece swimsuit that felt too covered up. Let’s be real – we’re all glad that one-piece swimsuits have stepped up their game over the past few years and have come out with such fun details and styles. Now, you can feel and look your best in a suit without feeling like you’re baring it all. Still not convinced that one-piece styles can’t be fashion forward? Scroll on for some swimsuit inspiration!
Here are 6 one-piece swimsuits that we can’t take our eyes off of:
Low-Back Details
Plunge head first and pick up a one-piece with some flirty details like a low-back.
Try Cutouts
Take a walk on the wild side and pick up a dramatic one-piece with cutout designs on the sides like Christine from Hello Fashion Blog!
Crisscross Details
We’d take any excuse to wear this one-piece with crisscross details in the front! Look for swimsuits with the underwire bra detail for extra support.
Dual Pattern Swimsuit
There’s no better way to make a statement than by wearing a swimsuit with dual patterns on it.
Halter Designs
I have to admit, cut-out one-pieces can be hard to pull off sometimes. However, when you find a halter piece like this one, you can’t say no!
Wear Solid Colors
If you’re searching for a swimsuit it that you can wear over and over, stick to pieces that come in solid colors! The best part? They can easily double as a bodysuit!
