I’ve been a little M.I.A on the blog lately and for that I apologize! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! We ( my man and my four legged child) drove to the coast for some ocean air and relaxation. I have to say, Pacific Northwest beaches are so different from the Coastal Carolina beaches I grew up on but they’re equally as beautiful. One thing I’ve learned about Pacific Northwest beaches, are they’re rarely warm enough for a bikini. As summer approaches in this part of the country, I’ve been thinking a lot about summertime essentials ( yes, Summertime Essentials is a blog post in the making) .
This Lands’ End long sleeve swim tee, given to me by my fashionable mother, turned out to perfect for a cool day at the coast! It’s seriously the most comfortable top ever and it’s versatile so you can pair it with bikini bottoms or denim shorts like I did. 
Shop this post : shoreline slip-on shoes, long sleeve swim tee ( also loving this one and this one. I’m wearing an XS and it’s not skin tight), I couldn’t find my striped beach towel online so I linked another cute one that I also purchased, hat Nordstrom old ( similar here and here).
