I recently returned from an amazing Hawaiian vacation (and I’m a little sunburned) so I have hats on the brain...and what goes better with a hat than a sweet bag? Pairing hats and bags is classic and fun—they don’t have to match completely (it’s usually better if they don’t) but coordinating them is a perfect way to accessorize.
This turquoise floppy hatis a colorful addition to your wardrobe and goes well with neutrals like taupe and white. It keeps the sun off beautifully, too. It’s lightweight, and ties on to specifically fit your head.
You can trim your hats with scarves, as seen in this sweet brown hat. It comes with a chic animal print scarf tied around it, but you can always add your own scarf to any hat. As for bags, these big straw bagsare great for the beach or any warm weather getaway. Towels, sunscreen, sandals and a change of clothing can all go into this big bag. You can’t go wrong with a carry-all like this.
Beachwear 2011 for the win!

It’s only February, but a couple of 65-degree days in my area have me pumped for spring, summer, and all those days where you can run outside without bundling up. And of course, dreaming of all that time you can spend on the beach.
And then I saw some warm weather dresses. The great thing about dresses is how versatile they are—they’re not just formalwear. Because they’re cool and flowing, casual dresses are great as a beach wear!
Something like this tiered dress is a good example. Wear it while stretching your legs on the boardwalk or going out for dinner. It can be dressed up or down, too, depending on what the situation requires.
Another beachy option is a cool cover up dress like this one. Throw it on over your bathing suit or just wear it casually. The embellished neckline and trendy style make this one better than just another cover up.
And finally, maxi dresses are just about perfect for the beach. You can wear them as cover ups, but you can just wear them on their own, too. A boldly printed maxi dress like this one adds some style to your beach wear.
Summer may be half over but the truth is, it's always the season for great swimwear. Here are our picks for the best swimsuits for this season and beyond!
Animal Print Bandeau Suit - $89 - Who can say no to an ombre leopard print? This flattering halter bandeau is great for smaller busts, plus the added slimming illusion provided by the ombre fade makes this suit a poolside classic.
Jewelry Detail Suit - $49 - Add a little glamour to your poolside ensemble with this suit's centered jeweled detailing. The gathered bustline makes this suit ultra flattering for those with a larger bust.
Stone Surplice Suit - $79 - Glimmering metallic stones add flair while the ruched crossbody detail visibly whittles the waist. A win all around!
Multi-Dot Triple-Tiered Tank - $79 - Who doesn't love a ruffle? The triple layers of ruffles are great for balancing wider hips and for enhancing a smaller bustline - not to mention, the polka dot print adds an extra dose of fun in the sun.
