Beach Bumming
Posted June 25th, 2009

We all know those old Will Smith lyrics that have become a mantra come mid-June every year: “Summer, summer, summertime/ Time to sit back and unwind.” Now that we’ve hit the June 21st mark, we’re officially in the summer season. Whether or not it actually feels like summer is open to debate. However, despite the recent inundation of rainfall that left New Yorkers wondering when they’d been picked up and dropped in Seattle, we’ve begun catching glimpses of elusive sunshine and summer heat. Why, in no time at all, we’ll all be skipping out of the office a little early (shh!) to get a head-start on weekend beach getaways.

Naturally, shore-side festivities present the perfect opportunity to flaunt some especially whimsical fashion choices, and just because you’re wearing less clothing doesn’t mean you also need to scrimp in the accessories department. Look at all of the celebrities who wind up flaunting their beach bodies in magazines. They don’t let their swimsuit do all the fashion legwork, and you shouldn’t either. Instead, use the beachy scenery as inspiration for the looks you choose.

The thing to keep in mind is not to go overboard with your jewelry. Because we don’t recommend sporting your pieces while you splash around in the ocean, keeping your accessory-count to a minimum will decrease your towel-to-tide speed because there is less to remove.

If you choose a necklace, both Jami Rodriguez and Willa M offer amazing pieces that will suit you perfectly. Jami Rodriguez Ahoy Charm Necklace incorporates charms depicting everything from different types of marine life to a sailor’s necessities, as well as a splash of color with a faceted aqua stone. On the slightly simpler side, Willa M Nautical Necklace mixes up tones and textures with its anchor, starfish, and seahorse charms dangling beneath a vivid pink bead.

Another great seaside style is a small stack of bracelets. Stacked bracelets are an incredibly hot trend right now, and Bee Charming Green Leather 8 Strand Charm Bracelet intertwine with one another so that the whole bunch stays together, even when you need to remove them when going for a dip. An added bonus is the sweet cluster that includes a starfish charm as well as other adorable charms.

Lastly, a pair of Karibou Small Anchor Earrings will do the trick to add a bit of fashionable flair to your coastal attire. This darling little pair gives a stylish nod to the seafaring way of life. A fun side note to these earrings is that anchors can be used to signify a fresh start. What is summer good for if not for giving yourself a fresh start each new, beautiful day? Especially after those nights of one too many margaritas!

Be sure to check out all of the pieces from Jami Rodriguez, Willa M, Bee Charming, and Karibou to create your perfect beach front look. Also, don’t forget to follow Max & Chloe on Twitter!
