Friday Five Under $50

I'm happy we are having a nice July heatwave, because it's summer, and that just how it should be. Sometimes I wish I had a pool in my life. Not necessarily my own, just one belonging to a friend or neighbor who I felt comfortable enough to freely use. I know I have a beach, so I shouldn't really complain, but when it comes to actually going in the water, I'm prone to a panic attack every time a piece of seaweed brushes against my ankle - I know I should have thicker skin for a New England girl - clear blue waters where you can see your feet even when you are up to your neck are stuff of fantasy, all I've ever known are the somewhat murkier depths of the Long Island Sound.

Anyway, I thought I'd share some cute poolside pieces today, and hopefully that J.Crew coverup is still on sale, it was yesterday. Also, who else is having a slight obsession with one shoulder swimsuits? Admittedly I did place an order for this Old Navy suit, we shall see if it works out!

  1. I have a pool in my life as of very recently, so all of these pieces appeal to me, despite the fact that I haven't actually used the pool as much as I would have liked - coming home from extremely high temperatures in Europe (it was 37 degrees celsius almost every day in the second half of May), I just don't feel like 23 degrees celsius is hot enough to warrant pool time. Here's hoping a true heat wave comes our way soon.

  3. Great choices, love the round towel and the black bathing suit. I could do with both ;)
    I too wish I had a pool. I can see about 5 pools from my building and dream I had a friend on one of the neighbouring buildings/homes so I could sit there in the sun.

  10. While we have a pool I haven't been able to justify a pool float....but I keep getting tempted, they are coming out with better ones all the time, I love this one you shared! the coverup is nice too but it's the float I'm admiring! :)

    Hope you are having an awesome weekend!
