Although spring has only just recently sprung, I've already got sun and sand on my mind. Why? First of all, I am obsessed with this Mara Hoffman one piece swimsuit. I've never been a one piece type, but there are so many great options out there now that I think I could become one.  I also like that they become a shirt when you throw on shorts or jeans.

The second reason I've got the beach on my mind is that I'm headed out to Tulum tomorrow to participate in a yoga retreat with my best girlfriends!

There will be several posts lined up for you this week while I'm gone, including the big reveal for a project I recently worked on with a dozen (or more?) other bloggers, headed up by stylist extraordinaire Ms. Shellby Cheri. The outfit she styled for me will go live on Wednesday, but for now, check out how she helped Carlis from Spicy Candy DC style her badass printed overalls three ways.

Now, let's get back to those beach essentials. I've found so, so many beautiful swimsuits that are made in the USA, eco-friendly post-sun skin products, and fair trade towels that I recommend visiting my pinterest collection to see them all-- these are just the highlights!
