First off, how can
anyone not be obsessed with the new J.Crew bathing suits? From their neons to
their anchors, J.Crew really hit the nail on the head with their swimsuit
collection. The Candy Anchor String Top is on the top of my ‘summer must haves’
list. As I’ve mentioned before, I love all things nautical so this is screaming
my name. In addition to the anchor, might I also add that I am SO glad seersucker
is making a comeback? This one piece above is absolutely adorable and perfect
for when your skin is a little darker than the material (so maybe I should wait
until mid-summer when I have color?). For those of you who are paranoid about
burning, or plan to spend the entire day in the ocean, a rash guard or ‘sun shirt’
from J.Crew is a must have. It comes in a wide array of colors from white, to
coral, to bright blue, to a neutral floral print. All together, I’d have to say
that I am rather impressed with the versatility and function of the collection.

Everyone knows
that sunscreen is a must at the beach or the pool in order to prevent skin
cancer and sun damage. I have been raised to take this rule very seriously due
to the fact that I can burn in twenty minutes or less. Because the sunscreen I
use tends to do such a nice job at protecting me from the sun’s rays, I tend to
miss out on the tan. There are a couple products I’ve tried for self-tanning
(since I refuse to get a spray-tan or go to a tanning-bed), but I have not been
to in love with the results of any of them. I have been doing a little bit of
research and have found a few lotions I am tempted to try. The first is Aveeno’s
Continuous Radiance Moisturizing Lotion. What is so cool about this tanner is
that you can adjust the amount of color you want to apply. It recommends that
you turn the dial up one notch each day for five days to ease into the perfect
color, but my guess is that you would want to take it a little slower and do
several days of each level. It runs around $15 in most drugstores. Another product
that gives a more instantaneous result is Guerlain Terracotta Sunless Self-Tanning
Balm. This oily lotion goes on smooth and provides silky legs with a touch of iridescence
and bronze tint. It provides almost instant results so it would be a great
product to use if you’re about to go somewhere where you’ll be showing off
those pretty legs of yours. Although this product runs around the $50 range, it
may be worth it for a last minute picker-upper.
With the help of a
few new bathing suits and self-tanners, I think I might be able to get some
color on my pale self before prom, and more importantly, before summer. Let me
know in the comments below if you end up trying the lotions or if you find
something else that works really well for you!
