i realized that summer is fast approaching,
and i'm not quite prepared.
it's funny the things we do to get beach ready:
tone up our bodies, search for the perfect suit,
and, uh...tan privately first...so that we can
hit the beach already tanned??
a few years ago i didn't think about any of this. with sunny weather year round, we're always beach ready.
however, since acquiring mini #2,
i have become a bit more self-conscious.
in addition, having two minis doesn't leave me with much free time.
so, i try to soak up the sun whenever and wherever i can,
by wearing my suits while paying in the yard or washing the car,
snacking on fruits instead of those chocolate chip cookies,
squeezing in some exercises while sitting at my desk,
squeezing in some exercises while sitting at my desk,
doing squats and lunges while brushing my teeth.
things like that...
is there anything you do to get beach ready?

love this outfit!very creative and your necklace is the cutest. i only cross my fingers and hope for the best before hitting the beach :)
Such a cool look. Love the necklace over the crochet top. I realized last night as I brought home yet another feather necklace that I now own 5 feather necklaces! Need to start wearing them.
Unfortunately here it is getting colder instead of warmer!
I am in the same boat as you with two little ones. But since I don't work I do get a lot of sunshine with the kids. I use a gradual self tanner moisterizer when the weather starts warming up so within a week I have a slight tan which looks normal for the season.
Exercise...Well, all I can say, is spend 48 hours with me and the kids and you will see you get all the exercise you need. Seriously.
Food... I eat the similar healthy snacks and lunches I feed to the kids. We never buy or bake sweets. My kids think the 100% fruit snacks are candy. Our tradition is we will make brownies or cookies if we host a playdate.

Fabulous look....I just love the blouse and the necklace...need to locate this for my daughter!! You styled the look beautifully!!
I personally opted to go big or go home this year with the tummy tuck. BOO-YA! The components of this outfit are perfection. Love each one. Is that necklace from F21? Swimsuit and crochet? HOT.
Rock on, mama.
Merci!

You look so pretty with your hair up. Love the crochet tank, it reminds me of fisherman netting(in a good way). Perfect outfit for summer days. Beautiful close up shot of the necklace.

i love the crochet top and the necklace that you paired with it. and yes, squats and lunges while brushing my teeth -- i gotta start that up again. :)
cute & little
That necklace is beautiful! But how on earth do you store it so that the feathers don't get all messed up?
Sooooooooo I'm kinda obsessing over that necklace + tank combo. Love all the texture in the outfit!! You look fab!
Not really, I find that sucking in the tummy is just as effective as going to the gym :) Loving the destroyed jeans!

I think theres probably a lot more pressure to be beach ready where you live than me. We don't have any beaches here, going to the lake is at least an hour if not more drive. But I do love laying on my deck in my bathing suit, I just add a few more advanced abdominal excercises to my gym days.
I looovelovelove this outfit. That tank looks so great with the ripped jeans and that gorgeous feather necklace. And your snack looks so tasty, peanut butter and fruit is such a great combination.

Your destroyed jeans is perfect! Love the cut and color!

Oh, that necklace really is gorgeous. I love it!
I've got the bathing suit part down, thank goodness, because I know what I like, and I try to stick to that as much as possible to minimize the pain of bathing suit shopping...but lunges while brushing your teeth? Now that's just genius :)
How sexy and cool do you look babe!! You don't look like someone who has two mini's at all. I'm happy your getting a summer, cause over here in England summer has ran away from us. lol Love Sia x
I'm obsessing over your necklace! SO cool!

2 kids? No Way! you have nothing to be self conscious about, seriously you look great! Gorgeous necklace!!
Girl! As a momma of two...you have a ROCKIN' bod! Seriously! But I know what you mean, we all have room for improvement in our eyes. Spin classes are my favorite! And when I am out getting some sun I make sure to actually swim around instead of just laying there haha!
Love your top! Yeah, I'm on a major diet to try and get ready...my family is also telling me how pale I look, so I guess I need to get some sun too!
Loving those ripped pants with the crocheted top, you look gorgeous!

That necklace is such a great piece. The beading, feathers and the color are perfect!
I have some catching up to do! First off, happy belated birthday! Looks like you had a fun time with some good purchases :)
Secondly, I love this crochet top on you! So easy, so sexy. I'm not prepared for summer either. White legs are the bane of my summer existence and the chilly weather here by the beach doesn't make it easier to tan. Oh well... spray tan it is.
XXo,

i really love you put ur clothes together. you look great in them too :)
