in honor of the first day of summer...

...and this absolutely splendid weather we are having in the san francsico bay area...think high 90's... =) so fabulous...i figured it was time to start looking at summertime wear...and of course...the first thing i think of is...pool time...

cover-ups are a necessity for me...i'm not one that you will find sauntering around the pool without one...just saying...and i'm really needing an update...although i love the ones i have...

so what do you look for in a cover-up?

- coverage...i know...obvious...but some cover-ups...well...don't cover...so what's the point? i don't need another layer of clothing...just because...

- fit...as always...fit is of utmost importance...even in a cover-up...too big...or too small...both scenario's down-grade your luscious bathing suit...so don't settle!

- color...it's summer! go wild...this is the time that color and/or prints are a little easier to work with...for those that are timid...so step out...work with the colors of your bathing suit...and if it is a solid color...then definately have fun with your cover-up...the more colors...the merrier!

here are some of my favorites...so far...all these are currently available on the nordstrom website...click on the link...there is a very nice selection...and in several colors!
