COOLING OFF (Pic Heavy)

The great thing about living on an island is that when it gets super hot, like it’s been these past few days, instead of staying inside and being a slave to my AC I can plaster on some sunscreen, throw on a bikini and take a short drive to one of the many beautiful beaches and go for a swim.


The heat and humidity here is SERIOUS especially this time of the year. Today, my husband and I decided to head to The Baths to cool off for a bit, I wore my neon pink bikini and cut off shorts, which was previously skinny jeans. The Baths is beautiful and very unique, the huge boulders and natural caves surrounding this beach is like nothing you have ever seen before; no wonder it was recently named number one on Trip Advisor's wonderfully unique beaches.  A hike through the caves leads to Devil’s Bay, which again is another beautiful beach, the hike itself is one for the books. Today I was too lazy to hike all the way through, so I went about half way and turned back.

COLOR BLOCK & SUNSHINE

Color blocking is another trend that's been around for quite sometime and I believe it's here to stay. It is simply the combination of different colors that support or compliment each other.  It can be done with bold neons, brights, neutrals and pastels. The most important thing to remember about color blocking is that it must be tailored to your personal style, what may look good on someone may not look good on you. It's always about finding what works for you and "re-mixing" it by adding statement jewelry, handbag or clutch, belt; pretty much anything that would add that extra flare to the outfit. The other great thing about this trend is that it can be done with things already in your closet, so no need to run out and buy an outfit or two, you can shop your closet and still be fashionable.

I kept it quite simple with this outfit, by mixing a bright yellow top with color blocked wedge and bracelets. I will show you guys in another post how I color block with bold colors and neons.
