Fish Hook

 tote (Hayden Reis c/o), gingham (Target (Men's) ONLY $25), bikini (J.Crew see similar HERE, HERE ON SALE, HERE ON SALE, DOTS ON SALE), sneaks (Chucks), hat (HM, love THIS NEON VERSION), shades (Banana Republic want THESE), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), watch (Michael Kors)

When I spotted this Hayden Reis Tote, sucker had to be mine.  Reminding me of afternoons on the boat with my dad as a child, this Tote Made From Sailcloth is not only adorable, but is crazy functional AND virtually indestructible by way of rain, sand, etc.  She's available locally at Monkee's or online HERE (my gals especially love these precious Sea Shell Pouches, although let's not kid ourselves, they're more often than not used for squinkies, barbies, and other sheer kid randomness).  

Few quick tidbits...favorite pool/beach coverup of the moment...a Men's Button Down--super lightweight and roomy enough for my liking, I sport them constantly!  Secondly, when trying to find a "similar" for my J.Crew suit pictured above, stumbled on some Superb Bathing Suit Sales (think spots, stripes, and anchors).  Lastly, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on 8/3-so if you're lounging indoors today--take a gander at My Picks HERE.  Ok, think that about sums it up for our Saturday---hope you all enjoy the outdoors be it dockside, beachside, poolside, or farmside like we plan to do (my Floridian mother wants a little 'farm' infused in her visit so we're going berry picking with the little ladies).   Y'all enjoy your weekend and make it a good one!  Feel free to shop some totes and swim below!

Checks & Camo

  

jeans (GAP, see splurge HERE & HERE), shirt (J.Crew see SIMILAR), heels (J.Crew 25% off today), clutch (Kate Spade see SIMILAR), watch (Nordstrom), ring (Lagos), shades (Ray Ban), necklace (Erin McDermott Jewelry)

Morning, Gang!  I hope everyone had a lovely weekend--the move was a success and thank goodness it is O.V.E.R!  Thank you for all of the well wishes....let's get onto the rig, yes?  The marriage of gingham & camo makes me quite happy.  I think most would typically gravitate towards something a little more edgy or urban when dressing up camo, but I'm kinda loving the idea of prepping it up (I will keep an eye out for my GAP version--think they literally JUST sold out as I bought mine 2 weeks ago).  Other ways to sport the camo?  See a Feminine Twist or a Play on Stripes.  Make sure to follow s + s on Instagram to see more OOTD's that don't make the blog's cut.  Make it a good one (and stay dry if your in Lex)!
