Celebrating Summer

In name of celebrating summer's first official weekend I did what any person living near a beach would do, use it as an excuse for yet another weekend of soaking up the sun. Location: Rincón, Puerto Rico and the look: laid back tropical vibe. If there's one thing that I prefer for the beach after a sarong, it's an oversized button down blouse; you can just through it over your swimsuit for a really effortless look or match it with shorts or a sarong for a more complete look, perfect for catching a quick lunch or drinks before heading back to the beach. This blouse is about my age, and it's one of those things I've taken ownership from my parents closets, I mean common, with this insane print I just had to add it to my own. I wanted it to be all about the blouse, so a solid colored sarong was the ideal match and adding the iconic panama hat was a must in completing this tropical look. Summer is without a doubt the time to take out those "What was I thinking" prints, it's supposed to be fun and relaxed, so forget about not being too confident to wear those prints and just enjoy them! Hope you like this look!

Island Living

Island living has many perks, the beautiful beaches is definitely one of them. My mom and I have been unknowingly collecting sarongs for many years, I say unknowingly because it hasn't been intentional, whenever we travel and find them we buy them, and that's besides the ones we buy here. I can't think of a more crucial summer must have, their prints and colors are intoxicating, and they have such an exotic vibe to them. The best part of sarongs is that you can wear them in so many ways, I wore it as a long skirt with this short blouse, but you can also wear them as a dress or even as pants. You don't necessarily need to travel to find them, this one is actually from Lucky Brand and it looks super different and exotic, but if you get the chance to buy a hand painted one, that's a keeper!
