Latest vintage camera phone app pics, because a smart phone is a lot easier to lug around than a SLR, and cheaper to replace if I drop it in the ocean.
Dream Beach Bag. Laid Back & Lovin’ it.
Sometimes, you want to look cute, bright, laid back, and somewhat put together, with little to no effort at all. I think any one of these items will do just that, but make you look more than cute, and like you gave your outfit some serious thought. The perfect bikini, coverup, tee, shorts, accessory, or bright orange lip gloss can do just that.
Your secret is safe with me.

Cheers to fall! If you live somewhere with leaves falling, make a pile and dive on in. I’ll do the same…but with sand.

Summer To-do Checklist: Waterproof Disposable Cam Fun
Digital is great, but there is something special about dropping off some film, an hour later opening up an envelope, and seeing those images…for the first time…on actual paper.
For the past 2 summers I’ve made sure to buy at least 1 disposable (preferably waterproof) camera that costs about $8, and gives you pics worth much more than that. Here is why I suggest you do the same:
Dream Beach Bag. Popsicle, boardwalk & bonfire friendly.
I was feeling a bit nostalgic, happy, ADD and patriotic all in one, which meant one thing…Dream Beach Bag fictional shopping spree time. So here are a bunch of Popsicle, bonfire & boardwalk inspired items that just get you in the mood for some summah summah summahtime funness. Bikini friendly ice cream lip gloss, patriotic colors and Polaroid camera included.

Bikini Facelift: Just Dye It
This winter, I paddled out in a brand new saucy light grey/silverish bikini for the first time. After I caught a wave, my husband politely paddled next to me and stated, “Bek, I can see your entire nipple. Like, even the bumps around it.” Fun times. Yet another case of seethroughbikiniitus plagued me.
I loved this new bikini. It was cute, flattering, but apparently not tested for adequate nipple coverage once dunked in the water. However, I was able to salvage this purchase with a quick, easy, old school solution. Rit Dye powder.
For just $2.78 I now have a brand spanking new, completely opaque in the water, dark army green bikini…that’s pretty sweet.
So, if you have any bikinis that turned out to be see through, or you just want to freshen up an old bikini with a new splash of color, head over to your nearest drug or fabric store, pick out your color of choice, and dye away.
