Friday's Fancies: Beach Ready

Ok, ok, I'll admit it... I'm not much of a beach lover. Yes, that's an obnoxious thing for someone to say who grew up (and is still) a 10-minute ride from the beach, but I can't help it. Sand. Sunburns. Cold water. Salt in your eyes. Waves drowning you. Bottom line: I'm a total complainer, and then you put me in sand. HOWEVER, if you're gonna get sand in unmentionable places, you may as well look cute doing it, right?

If I ever find myself back on a beach again (let me be honest, I went yesterday...), preferably somewhere tropical (Hawaii? Costa Rica? Is that you I hear calling my name?), I'd be happy in a pretty-colored bathing suit, with a practical and stylish coverup, and some classic accessories!

What's your go-to beach look?
