Are you ready for summer as much as I am?! I’m over the clouds, over the sweaters, over the crockpot. I just want sun, a tan, and a really big floatie to bask in every single minute of summer. Remember when we used to be forced to go on summer break and now all we look forward to is maybe a Friday off in hopes of a long weekend…while still checking email the entire time?
Well that must stop. Just because we are adults doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our summers too! It’s time to remember why we fell in love with summer in the first place and start getting outside, getting into our summer best and remembering why we adore the sun so much! Basically, it’s time to be a kid again.
If you’ve been following me for a while now, you’ve seen me post many times about ModCloth. Because they have EVERYTHING. They have dresses (many of which I wore during my wedding week in Jamaica), they have swimsuits, they have home decor. They have it all. I normally shop at ModCloth when I’m looking for a specific color dress for a special event, but I’ve also started to shop there for some fun outdoor summer essentials like this awesome white and gold pineapple pitcher and these amazing tropical cocktail glasses…because cocktails are way more fun when they look all summery and styled up!
But something that is even more fun than cocktail glasses is going back to our childhood roots…with pool floats. When I was growing up, the biggest pool float I had was one of those little donut shaped floats. All I did was pop my head in and out of it then when I wasn’t looking, it was quickly stolen by another bratty child. But nowadays, floats are bigger than ever! They are adult sized. The float industry is hella smart and they are trying to get us adults back to pool life. And I’m diving in!
A giant pineapple float? YES PLEASE! ModCloth is booming with floats right now! Swans, flamingos, and even toucans. Yes, toucans. So if you’re like me, not wanting to actually get fully in the water (I swam for 9 years, I’m cool with staying dry at this point) then these floats are for you! Just hop on, have someone pass you a cocktail and day dream away your vitamin D filled moment.
More Float Madness!
But floats aren’t the only thing you’ll find on ModCloth in their swimwear section. Nosirrybob. They have hats and sunglasses and sandals and beach towels and everything in between. As I get older, I want to wear hats all the time. Sure, I want my face to be tan, but I also want to be wrinkle free in the future while still enjoying the pool. So hats are now a necessity for me. This hat is my absolute favorite of the summer! It’s stretchy around the head with a big enough rim that it covers your face while you sit by the pool or lake!
They also have some bright, festive towels. I bought myself this one that is super soft and gigantic! Big floats, big towels, and you know I’m all about big sunglasses. These sunglasses are rimmed with flowers so you’ll instantly feel the flower power when you put them on! Yes, flower power is a real thing.
More Poolside Accessories!
But what we need to talk about ASAP is this bikini. Because honestly, I wouldn’t usually pick this bikini for myself. The colors aren’t my favorite colors, the cut is a little different than I usually go for. But I just said hell with it and grabbed it. I wanted to try something a little different. So I grabbed both sizes in a size small and they both fit like a glove! The little cut out in the front and criss cross back shows a little skin without showing too much. So if you’re not one to wear a normal triangle top that shows all yo’ goodies, well this is an awesome top for you! And the material is super stretchy and comfortable so you never feel like you’re pinched into something! ModCloth makes sure to share swimsuits for all body types whether you like high waisted, bikini, one piece or even throwback styles! And they have all sorts of different sizes to choose from! I’m linking my favorite bikinis below but be sure to check out all of the other styles ModCloth has to offer!

Hi Julie! Love your blog and following you on snapchat is my favorite thing ever! so funny. I have a question for you! I am getting married in september and toying with the idea of doing my own make up. Did you do your own for your wedding or did someone do it professionally? It looked amazing! Also, I know you have been playing around with false lashes lately, what brand do you use? Do you like them? They are new for me and I am not sure what type to buy to practice with for my wedding! Thanks so much for being so awesome and for all the great recipes and work outs!
All the love,
Annie
You are way too hot to give props to that granny version of sexy swimwear & sandals- sorry babe. Let’s try VS not Target.
luckily I don’t think my swimsuit or sandals is granny-like, but thank you for your feedback! i hope you have a wonderful day!
Ugh why is it that humans are like the nosiest things alive? Not even sure if that’s a word, but I’m nosy nonetheless. I first read this post last week and noticed your tattoo. I scrolled through the comments seeing if anyone had said anything and received a response from you. No response. So here I am checking back days later and nope, no response. I feel like the tattoo looks like it has something to do with crossfit? I’m probably way off and you’re like uhhhhhhh wow, no girl…no. But if you felt inclined to share you obviously would have, so not real sure why I’m asking again! The people want to know, Juli! Or just a handful of us. 🙂 Adorable post!
