Life while i was gone...

         It was 7:00 A.M....... the time i normally loathe the sound of the screeching alarm, but today was different. Today was the day I finally was going to escape.... break free of the worries and stress for a while. A little time to set my mind strait. A time to be with family. I allready had visions of the inspiring New York skyline, I could allready smell the salty air of the beach, while feeling the hot sun on my skin. I could see the wide Grand Canyon, seeming endless against the pale blue sky.

10 summer must-haves (fashion)

BY: Rachel R.

1.  A cute Pair of strapped sandals:

Don't get me wrong, a cute pair of flip-flops can always be great for summer, but I personally like to mix things up with a pair off these, when you just whant to go a little beyond the occasional flip-flops.
2. A floppy hat:

We all whant  tans, but sometimes to much sun in your face can Cause damage like skin cancer. Be safe with a cute floppy hat that shows off your style, and protects you from serious injuries..



3. A cute bathing suit:




This ones a no brainer, but I thought maybe I could help with types of bathing suits, like what kind would work for you? My youtube friend Bethany has a swimsuit guide video Im sure you will all enjoy!  Click here  to watch her video.


4. A romper:



Rompers Can be soo cute in the summer time! Its like an outfit in one, and with the right shoes and jewelry, you can rock a romper!♥


5. A maxi dress:



what better way to hit the beach than a stylish maxi dress over your fav bikini?


6. (obviously) A pair of sunglasses:
















sun glasses are adoreable when you find just the right pair!
