At the Beach

I was born & raised in Oregon, where the beach was just a short drive away.  The ocean water was usually freezing cold and the wind brisk, but I have so many fond memories of family day trips there – jumping waves, building bonfires and watching the sunset.  Now that we live in upstate New York, this is the closest beach that we have.  Being a lake-front instead of the ocean means it isn’t quite the same, but it’s still a fun place to come spend the day.  And every time I watch the kids playing in the sand & splashing in the water, it brings to mind all those special moments I had growing up.

What I’m wearing:

Ya Los Angeles dress c/o KiwiLook (here or here), Forever 21 shirt (similar), Dolce Vita sandals (here or similar for less here), Bracelets: Vintage, ASOS, Express (here), Dockers aviators (on sale here), Lips: Revlon Colorburst Coral

    I grew up on the beaches of southern Maine and it took me a few summers to get used to spending the day at the lake instead of the day at the beach. I love this casual yet stunning nautical look. Your accessories and perfectly tousled top knot pull it all together.

    Ooooh, so jealous for the beach–even if it is lake-front. I spent a lot of time at my grandma's lake-front home when I was growing up, and it really makes it "SUMMER" for me. Great outfit, and I *really* need to try those Revlon Colorburst lippies…I'm a sucker for a good coral lip!

    Oh, you look beautiful! I love the striped dress with the golden sandals and accessories! Very chic! The funny thing is that to me beach childhood memories are connected with pebblestone beaches and little bays with crystal clear water in the most beautiful shades of blue and green, the Mediterranean. And up until today I don't like sand beaches. ๐Ÿ˜‰ It really goes back to our childhood, doesn't it?! Have a wonderful Monday! xo, Christina
