In June of last year, Blake and I had a great weekend getaway in Apalachicola. We were on the cusp of a whole new life! He would be starting his new job in just a few weeks and we had just picked out a new place to live. To be a year out from that is so crazy cool! So much has happened and yet it feels like there is no way it's been a year already.
Anyway, we were able to spend another weekend in Appalach this summer! It was such a treat. Here's a few photos from our weekend with my family:

As a Floridan, I can tell you we can never have too many swimsuits! Between our neighborhood pool, our proximity to the beach, annual vacations, and friends who live near the river - we are always putting some wear and tear on our bathing suits! I try, but I can never get more than 2-3 years out of a suit. This year, I definitely needed a few new swimsuits, and I'm really happy with what I got!
I'm always in the market for cute, but still practical and secure swimsuits! I loved this suit so much, that I went back and ordered another color! It fits great and you will find me in the suit 9 times out of 10 this summer.
I could NOT resist when I saw this all over Instagram and on other blogger's websites this year. It was definitely a popular seller because it was sold out all the time! As soon as I got the notification it was back in stock, I purchased right away. It's gorgeous and something I will always feel comfortable in.
Obviously feeling florals this year, because I was instantly drawn to this suit as well. I love the white, and haven't had a white suit in...forever? maybe! Completely lined though, so it's not something you have to worry about. This suit fits well and and the top has a tie back for some flexibility in sizing.
Admittedly, I did not buy this one! I probably never would have, actually. My sister picked this one up, and didn't realize how orange it would be. Orange suits my skin tone much better, so she thought I should give it a go. I am not a huge fan of high waist swimsuits, but for some reason this one works for me. It's a little out of my comfort zone, but I admit it's really fun!

Living my best life with our neighborhood pool being just across the street from our new house. It's glorious and easy to sneak over to every week. I've been keeping a beach bag packed in our front coat closet, just to be able to grab and go.
Diligent might not even be the right word, but I am serious about my sunscreen. With a family history of skin cancer, and a few scares myself - I apply sunscreen multiple times at the pool. I like to start with the cream as a base layer and on my face, and then use the spray for touch ups and hard to reach spots. Always SPF 50 for me.
This stainless can cooler is so neat! It's a universal fit, so you can do slim cans and regular cans. More often than not, you'll find me with a coconut La Croix in mine.
Along with my Spotify membership, you can't find me at the pool without some music! I love this speaker, and I'm not kidding when I say we've had it for AGES.
If I'm not listening to an audiobook, I'm definitely reading something on my Kindle. The Kindle is IDEAL for the pool. No glare and it's so light weight. Love mine, and would buy it over and over.
I'm growing out my hair (for the 1,000th time) and I must must must have a good hair tie in my bag. The only ones that work for me are the Teleties. I couldn't even estimate how many regular hair ties I've busted in my life.
