Kate Spade Pink Embellished Bow Bandeau from Everything But Water’s 30^th anniversary collection.

Since I look more like I’ve been indulging a bit too much in ice cream and macarons verses really looking like I’m expecting, I was a bit self-conscious about baring my belly in a bikini. The eye-catching bow on this playful one piece seemed like the perfect solution to draw the eye upward and away from my midsection.

Kate Spade Grainy Vinyl Floral Tote

I snagged mine on sale at the Kate Spade outlet. There are usually outlets near the beach, and they make for a great rainy day activity.

Stella & Dot Tunic

A great cover-up for the beach or tunic top with white jeans.

Gold Mine Leave In Conditioner by Drybar

I know that some women enjoy the extra thick mane that they get during pregnancy, but since I already have plenty of hair, it’s actually been quite a challenge, especially with the summer humidity. I’ve been trying all sorts of new conditioning and anti-frizz products to try to tame my, now, straw-like strands. I like how light weight this leave-in conditioning serum is. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling weighed down like most anti-frizz serums do. Don’t be scared by the shimmery specs. I thought they might add a nice bit of shine in the sunlight, but by the time I’m done brushing and blowdrying, the sparkles are nowhere to be found.
