I hate to admit it, but I'm not a huge fan of summer. Though I'm a summer baby {born on July 1!}, the hotter temps make me pretty cranky. But one thing I do love is a weekend at the beach. The sand and the water is so relaxing and I really love any excuse to slip in to a bikini. But keeping cool and looking hot can be a bit difficult when it's unbearably hot.On days when the mercury rises {we just had a heatwave on the East Coast}, my motto is keep it simple and head to the beach.
