Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to some Fall weather and cooler temps, but last weekend at the beach made me want to hold on to Summer for just a bit longer! I know I mentioned our trip last week, but I couldn’t miss sharing some photos from the beach.
Lace kimonos are such a great beach piece. They work as a chic coverup on the sand or by the pool, and then they double up as a cute layer for dresses or tanks and shorts! I loved the way mine looked with an embroidered sundress for a walk down the boardwalk with my family.

It’s been so sweet to hear Layla go on and on about our trip. She had such a blast playing on the sand, watching the waves (from a safe distance), and collecting seashells.
I am so thankful that I was also beach-ready with my Mint Julep Pedicure from Red Door Spa. If you haven’t had a pedi at The Red Door, you are seriously missing out. It was definitely the best pedicure experience I’ve had. The treatment was relaxing and so hydrating. I love that they use Essie products too. It’s been almost a month since I was in, and I’m chip-free! Of course every month, I have a special to offer y’all. Through the end of September, get a Mint Julep Manicure at the Richmond location for 20% off using code GSFANAUG11!
