Swim Styles: Bold & Beautiful

This post is underwritten by Old Navy. Whether you’re looking for a tankini, bikini, or a one piece, Old Navy has you confidently covered at a great price.

Summer has arrived with all its bold & beautiful style! I adore summer-time… I love bathing suits, flip-flips, cute beach bags, bright nail polish and fun hair styles. It’s the time to relax, get a little tan, read more, play games and picnic on the beach at night with family. At least it’s like that in my family! If you didn’t catch it in June’s Fresh Picks Post, we have been staying on the beach now since early June and we have had an absolute blast… and for me there’s just something about heading to the beach in stylish swimwear that seems so chic! What do you think?

Like last years summer styles post, I gathered up a few bold & beautiful swim styles to get you in style for summer 2012…

 1) Kelly Green Ruffled Bikini by Old Navy 2) Mint Green Nail Polish by Essie 3) Gold & Green Leaf Earrings by Forever 21 4) Hammered Metal Headdress by Urban Outfitters 5) Gold Flip Flops by Old Navy

1) Golden Bikini by Old Navy 2) Straw Hat by Forever 21 3) Gold & White Shell Earrings by Forever 21 4) Gold Flip Flops by Old Navy 5) Smocked Shorts by Old Navy

1) Plaid Bikini by Old Navy 2) Chandelier Earrings by Forever 21 3) Straw Hat by Old Navy 4) Paisley Sandals by Old Navy 5) Frosted Blue Nail Polish by Essie

1) Striped Bikini by Old Navy 2) Retro Pink Sunglasses by Forever 21 3) Studded Feather Earrings by Forever 21 4) Beach Bag by Net-A-Porter 5) Shocking Pink Nail Polish by Essie

So, what do ya think? Do you go stylin’ to the pool or beach? Do you put ensembles together? I am such a matchy-match kinda gal… my cover-ups match my bathing suit and my nails and my flip flips… you get the drift! What about you? What are your chic and stylish summer swimwear secrets? I would LOVE to hear them! DO TELL…

Thank you again to Old Navy for sponsoring my post. I was compensated for this post as a member of Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all my own.

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
