California was wonderful — we honestly had the best time! Nothing fills my heart with more joy than being with close friends and family! We got back this week, and in good old, hot Chicago summer fashion: We returned to the beach the minute we got back! Our motto for hanging out at the beach is simple: Sun, sand and books.

“Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, having fun.” – B.Wilson

This summer I’m all about spending time at the beach which means you’ll probably see me in a lot of swimwear this season! From plunging necklines, open backs, and a whole lot of mesh one–piece swimsuits are sexier than even your tiniest bikinis. To me, one-piece swimsuits make an even bolder statement, and this one is no exception. I love the scalloped-detailing, and how fun are my pom-pom sandals? They are also a must this summer if you ask me!

What are you up to this summer? Let me know by commenting below, and as always, thanks so much for dropping by!

Much love.

    You look so chic in your black and white one piece. I love the scallops detail too, its fun and flirty! And your pom pom sandals are just too cute. I typically wear one pieces too, for whatever reason I’ve never been a big fan of wearing bikinis.
    Hope you have a great week ahead!

    You look amazing in this swimsuit, Vanessa! It’s so chic with the black and white color block and I love the scalloped details, too! Swimsuits have come a long way and I love that there’s so many great options for every shape now more than ever before, allowing for everyone to feel confident in them! The saying less is more is very true when it comes to these one pieces! What I love about them, is not only are there so many options, but they can be turned into tops, too, allowing for a cute and easy outfit change after the beach! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, these photos are amazing! I hope you have a great week ahead, my beautiful friend!

    Ooooh, you look like a 50s hollywood goddess, love the glaMORE of that one-piece and looking forward to more swimwear looks by you. Aha, you are back in Chicago, yes your L.A. tales were very fun to follow…as for me and my summer, well I just go a new job. Social Media Manager and its a loooot of work, and now UK is out of EU, I feel extra pressure to keep it so I cant plan fun festivals and holidays…but I am hoping I can go somewhere fab at end of Sept.

    I LOVED that swimsuit from first sight on instagram, it’s really too sexy and so feminine and looks just so pretty and amazing 🙂 loving those details and how adorable it matches with the hat *_* btw this hat would be a choice of me, too, so classy and fun and a kind of cute 🙂 And what should I add? of course your sandals are the cutest I’ve seen, too 😀 before going to vacation I ordered everything to make some pompom sandals by myself 😀 But I forget to get a glue, so you’ll probably see them soon 😀

    Hi Vanessa, I’ve missed your posts since I took a break from blogging while I was on vacay so sorry about being MIA. I’ve totally enjoyed all of your IG posts and your trip to California looked so magical! Very happy that you and your beautiful family had a great time and were able to visit loved ones, there’s nothing better than that!
