Let’s not start the transition into fall.. Let’s talk cover ups!

The start of school signifies the end of summer. And everyone turns their eyes to fall, Pumpkin Spice, sweaters, boots, and football, etc.

Except in Arizona. — expect we still love football in this house too. –>> Saturday’s are Cream and Crimson and Sunday’s are all about Colt’s Nation 🙂

For at least 2 more months in the Valley of the Sun, we expect to see triple digits. And high double digits until at least November. Right now, It’s nearing the end of Monsoon season, and we can almost sleep comfortably at night…almost.

August, most of September, and some of October still lends well to wearing swim suits and playing in the pool. If you have a working pool heater, or a staycation at a local resort, you could don a suit well into the holidays. And then again as early as February!

If we don’t get moving on the new house remodel, we may be hopping in the pool well into December!

Hence, a swim suit, sun glasses, and swim cover up are necessities for everyone here!

Here’s my weekend look for the rest of summer! Use the code AMYJCO for 25% off!

I was so happy to be able to partner with rockflowerpaper designs to help bring awareness to their swimwear line. It made total sense as swimming is a near year round activity here! Along with their swimwear line, they make scarves, totes, women’s clothing, and home accessories. Each piece is inspired by the businesses’ women’s own personal travels around the world. The line began with hand-painted watercolors and prints out of their San Francisco Bay Area studio.

We also try to visit a tropical place with beaches in the winter, so water is always on my mind! Like the post I published about traveling to other places very affordably HERE. You can travel to lots of places without spending all of your savings too! rockflowerpaper has a great, affordable line that won’t break the bank, yet keeps you stylish at home, or on the beaches of the world.

Their line is carried in departments stores as well as online, and with the code AMYJCO , you can save 25% off by clicking HERE.

The piece they sent me is amazing. I love the muted hues and pop of color the tassles give on rockflowerpaper cover upsthe strings around the neck. This piece was genuinely thought over and developed for use on the go, for fashion and function. The fabric is so soft and comfortable that I could wear it for an entire day with ease.

One thing that I personally look for when shopping for swim cover ups is coverage. I want –scratch that, desire good coverage over my suit but also be breathable enough to let air flow through without making me feel like I’m completely naked.

This one is thick enough and fashionable enough to wear to the grocery or somewhere else rockflowerpaper cover upswithout having to worry that people will know it’s really a cover up. It’s light enough fabric; the slits up the side allow for breathing and airflow to help you dry off. I nearly wore it to school pick up as a normal dress the other day! It is so comfortable and cute!

Are you planning a vacation the rest of this year, or looking for next year? Grab one, or several, of these up!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top Picks Week One

Lately, it’s all I can do to see one outfit after another on Instagram and blog posts. Let’s not forget all the emails and sales offers for updating your style that flood our inboxes.

Christmas in July is a real thing in the retail space y’all!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one that comes top of mind when thinking of updating my style. If you are a card member, access is open now. If you aren’t, public access opens July 19th. Just remember that some items come in limited quantities, so not everything is available.

The other place I look for updating my fashion is on Amazon, which has their sales coming the 15th and 16th of July!
