Summer Style Secrets: Pretty Pink Tulips

 This week's "secrets" are coming from Elizabeth 
Through a series of coincidences and mutual friends,
I've had the happy experience of meeting 
Elizabeth in person, now several times...
and consider her to be a true friend!


Her charming style and warm personality 
shine through in everything she does.
Here are some of her Summer Style Secrets:
~*~


1- Roberta Roller Rabbit Bondi Beach Bag 
     ~ Since "pink" is my color, I love this casual pink print!

2- Neutrogena Healthy Defense Sunscreen
    ~ Before I even put on my swimsuit,
       I make sure my skin is covered.
       The only place a lobster looks good
        is inside a lobster roll!


3- Melissa Obadash cowboy hat
    ~ As an added layer of defense,
       I top off my ponytail with this hat.
       And, as a native Texan....
       I just think it's cool!
4- Missoni Ipanema Beach Towel
    ~ A bit of a splurge.....
        I just feel so much more chic at the beach
       when I'm lounging on this beach towel.
       Lands End is fine for my boys,
       but mama needs Missoni!


                                                                               ~*~
Thanks Elizabeth! 
 ~As a native New Yorker...I think that hat is pretty cool too!

  14. What a great towel! I always like to have a fabulous beach towel, too. Even if I'm a hot beachy mess, I'll still look chic...I hope!

    You won't believe it, but I had told myself I needed to visit your blog today to see what it was all about. I kept seeing it mentioned or followed by so many of my faves and figured it must be amazing. IT IS.

    I can't tell you how honored I was that you commented on my post today!
    And you're following- EEK!!!!

    Sorry, comments and followers are like my crack, except not as dangerous and bad for your skin!

    Love the straw cowboy hat- Have wanted to get one but am worried it would be hard to pack when we travel- So I've been sticking with fabric.
