Giving The Pool House a Glow Up

Our pool house got a much needed makeover.

We always thought it was cute but I wasn't loving the blue trim and the siding had seen better days.

I think the side detail is so cute too but it was getting missed because of its condition.

The blue fence really bothered me too.

It's amazing what some paint can do.  We hired out this job because it seemed a little too overwhelming for us to tackle. Our painter power washed the siding and nailed back pieces of siding that had come loose before priming and painting the whole pool house.

We are smitten with the new look.  The black trim and shutters really make the white siding pop.

The fence looks so much better in black!

We've started to accessorize now too.

We added this thrifted sign to the door...

...and a window box with some flowers to the window.  What do you think?

Amazon Travel Products I've Been Using

We had some summer trips planned and Amazon came in handy for my travel products.

belt bag

I finally got on the belt bag trend and I liked this neutral tan color.  It's a great size, it holds my phone and other essentials. I love being hands free with it as well.

Hawaiian hair clips

We had a trip booked to Kauai (trip post coming soon) and I loved having these fun flower hair clips to go with my island outfits.

Cooling towels

I got these for our Disney trip. They really can help cool you down in the relentless Orlando sun and humidity.

Mini portable charger

I also got this for our Disney trip since the MyDisney app and taking lots of videos and photos can use up your battery quickly,

Anti Blister Foot Balm

I was worried I might get blisters from all of the walking so I had this blister foot balm to protect my feet. I didn't get any blisters!

Woven Rattan Wide Belt

I got this belt to go with summer outfits.

Collapsible Water Bottle

I use this collapsible water bottle for my walks but it is also so easy to pack in my suitcase. I like that it is sturdy when it's filled up and doesn't cave in like some other collapsible bottles.

Tennis Dress with Shorts

I wish I had gotten one of these dresses for Disney but it was nice for Kauai. The shorts pull down so you don't have to take the whole dress down to use the restroom.

One Shoulder Dress

I thought this dress would be perfect for Hawaii. I got so many compliments on it too.  I will wear it at home as well.

Tankini

I like the look of a one piece but the convenience of a two piece so this suit is perfect.

Cover up

I've been loving this cover up at home and on our trips.

2 pack of retro sunglasses

My sunglasses broke right before my trip but I was able to get this pack of two in time.  They are really comfortable and don't get stuck in my hair when I pull them up.

{Photography} Photographing a Sweet 16 Party

My niece asked my to be the photographer at her sweet 16 party, how could I say no? 

She and her mom did a fantastic job with decor.

I got to use my big girl camera and had some fun with bokeh.

She was a vision in pink and her guests all wore black.  

A sweet ending to a special night!

{Thrifting} June Thrifting

I only went thrifting once in June when City Girl #2 and I went to my favorite local consignment shop.

 She wanted to look for some work clothes and I was just browsing.

I found a few things and must have had blue on my mind. I also found this beautiful wicker tray. I took it into the dressing room with me to make sure it stayed with me!

I picked up this frame too.  I still need a photo for it.

The tray is looking great out on our patio.

I love styling it.  It's practical and pretty!   

 I'm loving all of the tops I picked up.  This floral one is from Lucky Brand.

This is a Madewell top. I've also been wearing these denim shorts on repeat (from the same consignment shop!).

This LOFT navy tank top goes well with my new shorts from Walmart.

This JCrew sundress was such a score. It is similar to one currently selling on their website for $99!

JCrew sun dress

Here's how I styled it to go out one day.

I found this cute sign for our pool house door (makeover coming soon). Have a great week!
