There’s not much I love more than a lazy day spent poolside… Especially when it’s in Southampton.
I grew up working as a lifeguard (didn’t we all) in the seasonal Midwest, so I think I’m hard-wired to focus on getting as much of a tan as humanly possibly every single summer. Naturally, due to my Irish heritage, that bronze tends to last about a week post-Labor Day, when I fade back to my scary white status.
Part of what I love about a lazy day spent poolside is that I don’t have to wash my hair that morning. Instead, I’ll usually attempt to twist a colorful scarf into a turban or headwrap.
… Admittedly, it takes me a few fails to perfect the art of undone bohemian-meets-casual-chic.
Pink aviators certainly up the style factor on a lazy day of lounging, too.
On another note, a friend of mine recently launched her e-commerce site. Click on over to Lemon Stripes to check out her bags, baubles and other fun shoppables — including the scarf I’m wearing (and this Gorjana anchor necklace I’m about to purchase). Congrats, Julia!

… And in case you’re wondering, that’s a goat cheese burger and pomme frites that disappeared shortly after these photos were taken.

Goat cheese, girl. Goat cheese. My burger preference is forever changed.

I didn’t know you were a lifeguard, too! I did it for so long I’m actually still certified….slightly frightening. Also, you have to teach me how to tie a headscarf, even if there are a few fails involved. I’m currently at all fails, haha!

Omg.. that ASOS maxi dress! The color, the sheerness, and the ruffled detail are all amazing. The colors of the scarf are perfect for summer!

Thank you lady! I couldn’t find it online or else I’d have linked to it… Sorry! I’ll keep looking and let you know, though.

Your head scarf= totally adorable! I’m terribly unskilled at tying them myself, so I usually cheat with a headband haha

This post is perfection! Great shots… And you’re going to have to teach me how to make a GIF one day.

I am now convinced I need to try to wrap my head up in a scarf the next time I’m at the beach. Too cute!
