Beachy Cover Ups


Hi Gorgeous!!!

It's July 8th, and summer is still going strong. I have a few summer vacations coming up and I'm sure some of you do too. So for any type of summer fun in the sun, a fashionable cover up is essential!

Here are some of my favorite summer cover ups this season:
This adorable cover up combines a few of my loves. It has sailboats as the print, 3/4 lengths sleeves and a tied waist. Nautical themed anything always catches my attention but this is so cute! 
Whenever I am out in the sun for the day, I like to have a cover up available that has some sleeves to it. My most irritating area is usually my shoulders, so this cover up will be perfect for my needs. 
Currently on sale at Serena and Lily

This striped is so cute and very neutral! I love most anything with stripes and love the accents to this cover up as well. Looks like it would be a really comfortable cover up to throw over a bikini while going out for ice cream or a bike ride without heating up too much. 
Currently on sale at J.Crew Factory 
I love the tassels on this cover up! Very breezy cover up that's also very fashionable. 
I love the print on this cover up! Would be great to throw on for a beach bar. 

Usually my go to cover up while at the lake is a chambray button up shirt. I usually button it half way down and then tie it. It's a really cute relaxed look for being on the boat all day. This cover up from J.Crew combines a cover up and my chambray love! Currently on sale and with the code: shopfast you will receive an extra 40% off. 

Hopefully you like some of my cover up finds! Please comment below with which one is your favorite, and what cover up style you are currently obsessed with!
