Tiki Time

Marysia Swim Kapula Top and Tiki Bottom
Marysia Swim Kapula Top and Tiki Bottom
Can I just say how happy I am that Marysia Swim brought back the Tiki swimsuit for another season. I feel passionately about its ability to hold a tummy in. The fabric is the perfect combination of stiff and stretch. It's sort of miraculous? The Tiki has a matching underwire top and also comes in White, Black, Jungle Berry, and Cobalt (above). Here are some other Marysia goodies, all from Coral in Charlotte. Get your swim on. (P.S. follow Coral, and sooo many other amazing stores on The Nearby app for constant retail updates.)

Summer Stripes


The return of the sun has me thinking beaches, boats, and bathing suits, which has led me to an abundance of stripes. Is there anything more summer?

VanJean Summer Of Style!


I think the first thing you should know is that VanJean now has e-commerce.......

I know, take a moment and digest it; celebrate and fear it. They have a gorgeous site and a great edit of the in-store experience, literally anything you need all the way from flip flops to cocktail dresses. Now that you know this, you need to immediately join their new Pinterest contest "VanJean Summer of Style" to be entered to win a $500 gift card! #Squeals. It's so easy. Create a new Pinterest board entitled "VanJean Summer of Style" and use www.shopvanjean.com to pin your summer wardrobe inspiration! The contest runs from May 8-16, and a winner will be randomly selected on the 16th. Check out my board below for a peek at what I am coveting! Their website is updated often, so there will be plenty of "Pinspiration" (sorry). You can also follow VanJean AND Southern Arrondissement on Pinterest! Check out VJ owner Melissa Blanchard's blog Duchess of Devine for all things VanJean and Pout!

Pop Up Swim Peek!


Wanted to share a little peek at the Pop Up Fleur: Swim event from last night! Besides margs and tacos, there were more Spring and Summer goodies than I could handle! A few highlights: adorable koozies designed by our fave Bon Vivant, Turkish-T towels (if you don't know you should!), and tacos from Captain Poncho's food truck (WHICH. IS. AMAZING).
