savoring summer swimsuit style
beach week is a wrap as i’m savoring summer swimsuit style. honestly, when i head to the beach, my suitcase is fairly light. all i need is sunscreen, a hat, and more than one swimsuit. this is why i love a beach vacation. there’s no fuss, no muss, and i always return home rested and relaxed. some trips require planning, reservations, check-ins, and check-outs, and you’re on the go, go, go! love those excursions, but i’m typically exhausted when i walk through my front door. not so with the beach.
all right, gang, can you believe summer is drawing to a close. if you hadn’t heard, Labor Day is T minus 10. ugh! but the good news is we’ll slowly transition from hot pink tees to camel turtlenecks. okay, the weather will dictate a few variations of fall fashion for the foreseeable future. ready or not, fall is on its way, and i have to admit i’m getting excited. last week i ventured into T.J. Maxx and was immediately hooked with all of the fall decor on display. pumpkins, falling leaves, and Halloween are definitely my thing. yes, i came home with a few goodies. who can resist?
savoring summer with swimsuits
swimsuits can be a challenge to find. many of us dread the trip to the fitting room to try on countless swimsuits until one strikes our fancy. this time of year is a good time to buy swimwear as it’s on sale. that is if you can find your size… J.Crew has a nice selection, and i love the fit. several of you asked about the hot pink one-shoulder swimsuit (similar here) and the leopard two-piece swimsuit (top and bottom) i wore for my Instagram Reel. they are both from J.Crew. Gottex is another brand that gets my vote, as well as La Blanca. today’s one-piece swimsuit is from Norma Kamali, who offers an interesting take on swimwear that’s decidedly sexy. the vertical stripes caught my attention with this suit, but the fit is what i love. everything is more flattering with a bit of ruching. if you like extra coverage from the sun, a rash guard easily slips over the top. coverups are also easy to pair with a one-piece bandeau. go for a sarong or a gauzy dress. the choice is yours. a hat is a must-have for a beach vacay. this black hat (similar here and here) was first seen here at the beginning of the summer. it’s Eric Javits that’s packable and blocks 95% of UVA/UVB rays.

happy Wednesday, ladies. time to put a smile on someone’s face, including yours.
Love the swimsuit looks! J.Crew has been my go-to store for suits for the longest time. If cared for properly they’ll last for years. I hand wash mine with baby shampoo and they look great summer after summer. They gets lots of wear since I live in Florida. 🌞
Your legs are amazing! You look awesome!
Gorgeous photos!
Beth! I love today’s and yesterday’s posts.
Your sunrise photo shoot is breathtaking !

I turned 63 on the 17th. My little granddaughter mischievously switched the candles on my cake I said “oh no,I wouldn’t go back to 36.” Having too much fun right now!.
We’re Leos,strong courageous and embracing life!
Im hating to say goodbye to Summer on St. Simon’s, but like you, I’m looking forward to Fall.
Have a blessed week 💕
Hi Beth!
You look stunning and fabulous as always!
Everything you put together with such ease, I have to take note at times.😂
I recently made a two night trip to Sanibel Island and came back just rejuvenated. As I also celebrated my 55th birthday! Proud of my greys and my age!
Just one thing, you didn’t share you shopping goodies!
Take care and stay safe!
Hi Liz,
You are always so thoughtful! I hear great things about Sanibel so I imagine you had a lovely time. Happy Birthday!
You look fantastic Beth. Love the swimsuit.
Hi Beth
I just love the hot pink one shoulder one piece swimsuit and the two piece leopard print suit on your “reel.” They are my favorites. I love the beach with the sand, sea, salty air and breeze. It is rejuvenating to walk along the waters edge. Thanks for sharing your vacation.
LOVE the Kamali ruched swimsuit; will wait for sale. Your sarong and hat are perfection! I’m living vicariously., healing a leg fracture…shopping online.
I like the many ways you used the wrap. The photos are just beautiful. Makes me want to go take a walk on the beach this evening. If it would just stop raining.
