This week's Summer Style Secrets are coming straight from our
nation's capital, please welcome Lindsay, of Starfish and Sundresses!
~*~
Hi Zhush readers! I was so excited when Sue asked me to participate in her new series Summer Style Secrets. Summer is my absolute favorite season and having grown up on the beach, I've definitely amassed a few secrets of my own. I hope you enjoy them!
1. The Perfect Bikini: Finding a flattering suit is a summer essential for me. The ruffles on this Zimmerman bikini are adorable and help add curves where nature may have forgotten.
2. A Great Tote: This Moroccan Market Basket is perfect for toting your sunscreen, book, and towel or fresh flowers back from the farmers market. At only $42 it's definitely a steal!
3. Hot Pink Fingers and Toes: For summer manis and pedis I say, the brighter the better! Pops of color look great on sun tanned tootsies.
4. Sundresses: In D.C, summer is all about beating the humidity. Sundresses are my go-to to stay cool but still look stylish. This Tibi dress is the latest addition to my lust list!

Thanks Lindsay!

I love all your picks here - the suit and the TIBI IN PARTICULAR!!! Does Tibi do anything wrong??
ReplyDeleteYes, these are all my summer essentials too! Especially sundresses. I live in them all summer long.

I love a good ruffle curve-concealing bikini and this one is adorable!
ReplyDeleteloved the initial image and wondered out loud about a bikini...uhhhhh, no......suit to cover where nature was too generous. maybe that sundress, beautiful!
ReplyDeletedebra
Ooh, I love it all! I would actually like one of the bathing suits in the top pic. Much more bottom coverage;) Have to pick up some of that pink polish this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I do plan on a little Baked on Monday book - stay tuned!
It's Canada Day tomorrow - we're 143 years old - so I have to bake cupcakes now. Have a good night!
Fabulous picks! I'm in the mood for the beach now!!
ReplyDeleteI really feel like I need that bikini...It reminds me of eva longoria for some reason lol.

Great tips!
ReplyDeleteI am loving these! Such a fun idea, Sue! Loved your comment on my blog, I actually have heard of Child, but haven't ever smelled it. I like really unique fragrances, it's one of my "things," I can't stand to smell like everyone else!
ReplyDeleteThese are great summer items! And I can agree that something light is needed in DC. It was HOT while I was there.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a fun summer roundup! I love the bikini and dress especially, what great colors and patterns.
ReplyDeleteThe right bathing suit is SO vital! And hot pink toes are a summertime staple for me as well -- love this!
