Spotted.. on the Beach in Cancun

None of you probably know that I am a pisces; which for my entire life I have read that I am drawn to the ocean or other bodies of water. Also, that I am at peace when near them. Now, I am not a very astrological person but this is one thing I fully agree with.  I have always been the happiest at the lake or on the beach.

We are so blessed that growing up we spent a generous amount of time at the lake every single summer. Plus, we usually got to the ocean once a year. I could spend hours in either body of water. Whether it’d be playing frisbee with my dad, throwing a waboba ball around, lounging in the sun with my mom and sister, or just relaxing on the boat with a good book.

I like to blame my affinity for swimsuits, sunglasses and hats on my love for the water. Well and my best friend is also responsible for my Ray-Ban obsession, all eyes on you Sara. It’s pretty standard at this point that I might acquire one a new pair of sunnies each year. Typically around the time we approach a warm vacation. This year was no different. I beat Jenilee to the mall one day and found myself in Sunglasses Hut (Where they may or may not know me). It didn’t take long to call her and say change of plans, I need you to come give your opinion on a pair of sunglasses.

She knows that when this happens I am usually full steam ahead. However, she wasn’t a fan of the ones I originally had in hand. She did help me end up with these beauties, the “New Wayfarer.” I love them! They are such a classic style, polarized and so comfortable. Anyways I will digress from my love affair with Ray-Bans, and transition into the love I have for animal print.

We have found some great coverups the last few years at Asos, but this one may take the cake. On top of that, is a mainline win! You know we love leopard around these parts, so when we saw that they had made a leopard cover-up, not much more needed to be said. I love that this print especially isn’t a “true” leopard. It’s a bit more abstract if you ask me, and it’s absolutely perfect for the beach. Also you can definitely pull this off if you are tall or shop the mainline.

I also snagged this swimsuit as part of the HUGE Asos sale and it was definitely a win. I typically stick to bikinis, but sometimes you just want to wear a one piece for a little more modesty and comfort. You won’t typically see us posting about swimsuits because it just seems a bit too exposed for us, but if we find one we love we will be sure to share or at least share the link with y’all.

I also just have to comment one last time on this hat. We posted a question on Instagram to see if anyone had recommendations on where to find hats for larger noggins but didn’t receive too many responses. I stumbled upon this one on Nordstrom and it is perfect! In fact, it may even be a little too big! That literally never happens so obviously Jenilee also needed to order it as well. Unfortunately it wasn’t super sunny so we didn’t need to wear it a ton and the wind made it a bit challenging to stay on, but you better believe this will be worn frequently this summer!

All in all this beach outfit gave me all the happy feels! If you’re looking for some other cover up options check the widget on the post here and let us know if you have any other suggestions for cover ups, hats, or tall suits below!
