Lace & Tassels
FriYAY friends!!!! Who is excited for the weekend! I’m looking forward to sleeping in this weekend and doing a whole lot of nothing – if only the story portrayed in these pictures was my actual weekend. Sad face. I’m still dreaming about the sunshine from Miami and wished I never left it. The best part is I get to relive all the sunshine through my posts and so do you:)
For any beach vacation, I’m find myself constantly overpacking and overthinking. I mean lets be real, you end up in a bathing suit and cover-up the entire time. This fringed swim cover-up was my house coat for the weekend and I wasn’t mad one bit.[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]This cover-up was a blessing in my life and it didn’t even know it. I ended up burning myself terribly the day before, hence the awkward tan lines, and needed something to cover my sunkissed skin without wearing a snowsuit. It ended up being a super chic way to cover-up those awkward lines! So story behind my lines – the first day in Miami it was overcast, windy and cold. While I know that you can still get some major sun when it’s cloudy, I was way more focused on the margaritas. It wasn’t until we were at dinner did the straight line across my chest from my previous cover-up start to come out! Such is life….[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end] I layered the cover-up over this stunning crochet one-piece from Nordstrom. The cut-outs and sheer panels allow for the right amount of coverage and sexiness – I mean we were in Miami 🙂 While the back is full coverage (ladies, you know what I’m talking about), the cutouts in the back really give the suit a nice surprise!Before we part for the weekend I want to talk about these SUPER (pun intended) sunglasses and how you can get a pair for $19.99 /month. Ok so you know how Netflix works right? Or should I say Netflix circa 2007. Think of getting those DVDs in the mail, but instead of DVDs they are sunglasses. What? I know. Shop Ditto provides an amazing endless eyewear service that allows you to order your favorite sunglasses and rent them monthly (or for as long as you like). For our trip to Miami, I contacted my rep in advance, knowing that I wanted to wear a new pair of sunnies on our trip. She sent me the new pair in two days and I returned the previous pair I had – I was never sunglasseless!!
Head to their site (here) and sign-up for the service. Use the code SPORTSANISTA at check-out and get your first month free! Just enough time to trial it out….and become addicted. [ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]

Thanks Brooke! We had it all to ourselves so it was fun to play around.
I would like to have that cover-up. I’m not one for walking around in just my bathing suit. Plus, it’s black and white!

Thank Maggie! I appreciate it!
Such a beautiful bathing suit, I’m obsessed with it. It’s a one piece, but a sexy semi revealing one but still gives the coverage. I really have to admit I am loving it & the cover-up is gold as well! xx adaatude.com
Thanks Ada – it was my go-to on the trip! The cover-up can totally be worn with a tank and shorts too for festival season!
Ugh, what an oasis! It looks so relaxing! Also, that one piece is awesome…I love your black + white!
Chandler – Thanks! It really was! Hope you had fun on your trip as well!
I knew I would like this look by the title. 🙂 Adorable swimmie. The lace is so pretty and unexpected. Also, I’m a sucker for a tassel, so I’m obsessed with this wrap. Love it all!
