WAIST-DEEP.

Day two on the lake is coming to a close & I have the sunburn to prove it. Today was all about inflating a giant swan & high-waisted bikini bottoms. 

The high-waist is a trend I was VERY hesitant about trying. I have a long torso and am definitely curvier on the lower half of my body, and was not exactly sure I wanted to highlight that situation with stretchy fabric. 

Once I decided I wanted to embrace my inner pin-up, this Victoria's Secret find was the perfect transition piece for me. It has the coverage of the higher waist, but the cut-outs make it feel a lot more modern and little less modest.

GIANT SWAN INFLATABLE
Here are a few of my top picks for ways to rock this trend. I'll be swanning around until further notice.

HEALING WATERS.

Are we all still alive after a Star Spangled Hammered weekend? Recovery is imminent and there is no better place to do it than the lake. I woke up in DC this morning, tonight we are flying back to ATL, and from there I will be making the three and a half hour drive up to NC to spend a few days of our annual week at Lake Summit. Basically, I am family hopping from the BF's to mine. Put me in a lounge chair on the dock immediately. I am exhausted just talking about this day of travelish things, but in preparation for the most relaxing and carefree few days of the year, I couldn't resist sharing a few of my lakeside essentials:
