Dressing for Quintessential Summer Days at the Beach

One of the best parts of Summer is a day at the beach!  A perfect beach weekend includes getting together with friends for a day of food, drink, BBQ, and sunbathing (but don’t forget the SPF!).

Beautiful Beaches

We all have our favorite local or destination beach. But there are many scenic and beautiful beaches in the world, such as:

  1. Beaches in Hawaii, USA: Not only is the scenery beautiful in Hawaii but also the climate is mild. The summers are temperate in Hawaii, which makes it a very comfortable and appealing vacation destination year-round. 
  2. Gold Beach, Australia: Gold Beach was named for its golden sands! Not only is the scenery pleasant, but there are various theme parks. The sun shines all year round making Gold Beach very suitable for travel and vacation!
  3. Negril Beach, Jamaica: The climate is pleasant year-round. A bonus is Jamaica is not affected by the annual hurricane season, so you know you will have good weather during your vacation. 

And to see some of the most spectacular Caribbean sunsets in the world, visit the Caribbean. It is particularly popular as couple’s getaway destination. 

Summer Wear Essentials

There are also many beautiful and famous beaches!

The must-have item for going to the beach is proper beach wear. And for many people, nothing shows off a toned summer body like a colorful bikini.

Style: Zattcas Women’s Long Sleeve Open Cardigan Sweater

· Leave a Comment

I always get cold at restaurants. It seems that somewhere between ordering my meal and being served, cold air starts blasting from a vent directly above me. Even in the cold weather of New England Falls and Winters, somehow the air is always cold. So the challenge is to find a sweater that keeps me warm but still looks good. For this purpose, I love Zattcas Women’s Long Sleeve Open Cardigan Sweater.

This sweater is lightweight but warm. Despite being a polyester/nylon mix, it gives the look a tightly woven cashmere blend. But unlike a cashmere blend, it retains its shape through daily use.

I really like how versatile this sweater is. It can be dressed up or down depending on circumstances. It works with jeans and a tee, or a silk blouse and slim line trousers. I love how it looks open, as it is intended, but it always looks fantastic with a decorative belt to cinch in the waist. My gym is at the college where I teach, so I frequently run into colleagues on my way in and out of the gym. This sweater is great for putting on over my workout outfit before I leave to maintain a professional look.

I am rather fascinated by how form conscious the sweater is. I always thought of open cardigans as frumpy by nature, but this cardigan is fitted through the shoulders and bust, and then gradually hangs, while lying mostly flat in front. So while most open cardigans will make you look bigger than you are, this one actually shows off how skinny you are! The length is flattering as well. It is long, but not so long that it makes you look shorter. That is an impressive feat for a sweater.

It is incredibly comfortable as well. Since it is lightweight, it doesn’t feel too bulky, and because it lays well, the fabric doesn’t get in the way. It also is fairly wrinkle resistant, which makes it perfect for travel.

Jewel Silk Scarves Jamevar Wool Poncho

· Leave a Comment

In my perpetual search for a stylish wool shawl, I found a real gem in the Jewel Silk Scarves line (pun intended). And in an interesting coincidence, they are also located in Connecticut! Sometimes you can literally search the world for a product, and it is in your own backyard!

I am always on the lookout for a stylish shawl for two reasons. First, this time of year is unpredictable in temperature. It isn’t quite full winter coat season, but you definitely need something to keep you warm. Second, the building manager in my office building keeps the temperature at near-artic temperature all year long. A few of the women in the office drape blankets over themselves when they are at their desks. I prefer a more stylish approach, so I am thrilled to have found the Jewel Silk Scarves Jamevar Tan Wool Poncho.

I was unfamiliar with the Jamevar technique of weaving before researching it a bit. It involved labor-intensive, deeply intricate designs. This gorgeous shawl has a paisley pattern, but it is so incredibly detailed. It is incredible that is it handmade!

When it comes to wool items, I tend to get itchy pretty fast, and this is true of Merino Wools. This particular wool is hypoallergenic: I wore it all day, and it was as soft and comfortable as could be! I loved being warm and not breaking out in hives. I wore it with a simple black dress, and the texture of the weave really made it into a statement outfit. I opted to not wear a necklace because the way the weave falls is so gorgeous around the neckline. It is reversible, too!

While the front of the item is open like a shawl, the amount of fabric is luxuriously ample like a poncho. It is the best of both worlds if you are looking for a stylish wrap!

I am thrilled to have found this gorgeous and versatile shawl. It works with office wear, jeans and a fitted cashmere tee, and formal wear.
