Top 6 Beach/Pool Essentials: A Collaboration with Caught Redheaded!

Blondes might have more fun but Redheads are more fun!





I had the incredible opportunity to join forces with a very talented and redheaded SLC blogger: Amy from Caught Redheaded!! I began following Amy because she has impeccable taste. Every outfit she presents on her blog is runway perfect. Each of her outfits is a masterpiece! She really is a fashion inspiration for the chic modern woman. 



Today we present to you our 

Top 6 Beach/Pool Essentials



Swimsuits:
Amy: Triangl swimsuits are always my go-to swimwear! I love the neoprene fabric and their bright fun colors! I also love them because they have great coverage over my chest and bum! I hate when I go to the pool and feel like my swimsuits are showing everything! This one was the first Triangl I ever purchased and I love it!

Rachelle: I am obsessed with retro style swimsuits. Lucky for me, they also happen to cover my “trouble areas” since having a baby. Albion has some beautiful options this season. My favorite is this gorgeous off the shoulder one piece. I typically don't find one piece swimsuits flattering, however the off the shoulder look of this one is feminine and sultry.

Coverup: 
Amy: I recently bought this Dress and use it as a coverup! It is perfect because it is so lightweight and comfortable. I love the black because it goes with all my swimsuits! Even though it technically is a dress and not a cover-up, I don’t see why it couldn’t be used as one!

Rachelle: This Kenneth Cole Swim Tunic is in a word, elegant. The laser cut design is incredibly intricate and really quite beautiful. I love how it’s white because, as a pale person, any color I happen to get while out in the Sun will be intensified by the stark contrast to this snow white tunic! It’s like my very own optical illusion! ;)

Sunglasses:
Amy: These aviators are my fav! I love how they look just like the Ray Ban Aviators, but are only $12! That way if anything happens to them you don’t have to feel bad! Plus you can never go wrong with a classic aviator! They look great on everyone!

Rachelle: Ever since I had my daughter I have sworn off purchasing expensive sunglasses. My daughter always seems to lose or break them *sigh* But I still want to look chic. I love the edgy shape of these Urban Outfitters Square Sunglasses.

Hats:

Amy: I’m not a huge hat person, but I saw this baseball cap at Nordstrom and I could not resist! It is so cute and can be worn with just about anything! I love the feminine touch on a traditional baseball cap!

Rachelle: I recently saw this Nine West Fedora at DSW. I went back the next week and they were sold out! I am so glad I was able to find it on Belk.com and for cheaper too! I love wearing Fedoras because it’s a perfect way to look fabulous when I haven't had time to do my hair! ;)

Sandals:

Amy: I love these Leather Dolce Vita flip flops! I got a little different variation of these sandals last year and I love them! The leather elevates the flip flop so it doesn’t look so casual! Also, I have these flip flops and they aren’t super noisy like other flip flops can be, it's so nice! You can throw them on for the pool and then wear them out with a dress later in the evening!

Rachelle: This is my #1 pick for the season! Mercanti Fiorentini Kalli recently came out with a gorgeous and versatile flat sandal.They are usually $118.00 but are currently HALF OFF!!! I love the metallic/cognac two toned look. It can pair with pretty much anything in your closet while adding the perfect amount of sparkle without going overboard.

Sunscreen:

Amy: As a fair skinned redhead, going to the pool, beach, lake, outside without sunscreen is not an option! I have had some pretty bad sunburns in my day and I don’t feel like adding anymore to that list. I start my sunscreen regimine with my everyday face lotion that has sunscreen in it. Then I always put on a layer of sunscreen lotion, usually SPF 30. I take the spray on sunscreen with me to the pool for touch-ups and re-applying, but I always use the lotion first! I have definitely gotten some spotty sunburns from the spray on sunscreen not working, so using the lotion first helps avoid that!

Rachelle: I’m not your momma so I’m gonna keep this short… Sunscreen is so important! I used to work for an amazing Dermatologist and if you’ve ever been to a Dermatologist's office and flipped through some of those pamphlets… Luckily, skin cancer can be prevented! Neutrogena Clear Face is great for putting underneath your makeup because it doesn’t make your skin oily or greasy. I have pretty sensitive skin and it has never made me break out!
