All Things Beachy Keen

Yesterday, sunbathers hit  Chicago's Oak Street Beach. Why not? It was 85 degrees. The sight from my window begged the question, Am I beach ready? Are you? Here's my edit for all
things beachy keen.  
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


For all the colors under the sun,
Josie Natori has you covered with chic caftans, Bikini's sold individually, one pieces in over the rainbow hues, and beautiful beach towels. 


Paul and Joe's Summer Edition
comes in retro cool shades that 
are mani and pedi perfect.



Mara Hoffman's Electric Casino Suit
hits the jackpot at the pool or beach!


Rachel Roy's Carina Snakeskin Sandal
sparkles with golden chains.


I am not a tee shirt girl. But it's
hard to top the notion of Capri.
This cool cotton henley makes a
chic coverup.


Longchamp's Finca Luisa Canvas Tote
plays well from sea to shining sea. A print inspired by Mediterranean houses celebrates the work of Mexican architect Luis Barragan. 


My perfect coverup...and I would never
take it off. Short enough to tan your legs,
low enough to add some color to your chest,
and the peek a boo shoulders add a bit of
sexiness.  Made of lightweight gauze.


One of my fave Summer scents...
Bobbi Brown's Beach. Try the Body Oil
to add a sheen to your skin on or off the beach.





Make waves...Italian style with Missoni's
Beach Bags, Robes and Towels.  See the collection at



If I could..I would.  Zeki's Feather Trimmed 
Bikini certainly is a splash of color!



Jonathan Adler's pretty printed pareo
is just the piece we all need to cover up
in style. Pop it on over your swimsuit or
wear it as a scarf/wrap.



Mar Y Sol's Caracas Basket Tote is just
too much fun not to own.



I, for one, could not live without a black 
swimsuit. The Riviera Rita suit by Thapelo
is an elegant look. 

 Tory Burch's Shelby Patent Leather Thong is 
pedicure perfect for sun and sea.
