I have been wearing Costas since 2009 when given a pair of Isabellas with a black and raspberry frame as a fantastic gift from Divers Direct Key West; which also included, the assignment of the lifetime.
I got to #SeeWhatsOutThere to put my years on top of the ocean on a dive boat and under the ocean’s surface lightly.
This sunglass concept was Born on the Waterin 1983 by some forward thinking fishermen for those one with the ocean and lakes. Designed for both: Sport Performance and the Beach Lifestyle I would not be falsifying this fashion essential when I emphasize I do wear these everywhere. (I wear them) on the golf course, boating, to work and play on the islands and the mainland. They’re so sleek I had them on the other day with black business attire and heels.
I love this piece of luxury gear not only because of the look but due to the design.
The Hydrolite nose pads allow me to move them on top of my head and into my hair without bending and breaking.
I snagged this super sleek pair of Gannet Polarized Round Sunglasses in Shiny Black with rose gold trim for under two hundred dollars at Dillard’s.
(I am South Eastern European with a little Swiss and French).
“Where have you been? You are so tan.”
A shot of sunshine is healthy. Meaning between thirty and ninety minutes a day. The Vitamin D boosts mood and immunity. I am also letting everyone in on a known secret to boost the bronze glow. This is a trick myself and my high school classmates discovered back in the 90s after a memorable cruise to the Bahamas.
We stopped at a surf shop on Cocoa Beach. A volleyball teammate of mine grabbed a bottle of Banana Boat After Sun Lotion. A cream designed to tone her North Coast skin after taking on the tropical sun.
After sun products work. They produce a glow, deepen skin tone, and smooth skin. They do not work the same as self tanners. The scent – delicious. Introducing Sun Bum®️ Cool Down, a Premium Moisturizing After Sun Lotion (a)
“Soothing and Cooling Aloe Lotion with Rich Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil. (To) preserve and extend Tan.”
The product introduced in 2010, which hails from Cocoa Beach (Florida’s East Coast), is:
Vegan
Gluten Free
Antioxidant Enriched (Vitamin E)
Dermatologist Tested
I reach for the Sun Bum®️ After Sun Lotion after all of my outdoor activities; including, tennis, golf and swimming. Plus, I put the product on before work in the morning.
Eight ounces is twelve dollars. Proving: we can all Live the Dream; or, at least look as though we are.
For the Lux Sunsscreen I’m using back track to my first post of Summer Luvin’. For the scents I’m layering on top of the cream hit No. 4. To see how I’m Toting all of this gear around; including in my treasured Pelican Case from Diver’s Direct, head to No. 9.
I’ll add links now later. I am sure many of you have joined in me — in blogging on the go — from one of your iPhone’s – while calling clients and giving editing directions to a man on an island – and golfing with your man trying to convince him he needs to model his new swim trunks.
I like giving (and receiving) gifts. Something else I like: charcuterie boards! I love different styles and textures, the ambiance they add to gatherings, shopping for the elements, decorating the board and of course eating every delicious morsel on them.
This weighted conversation piece comes with a hammered cheese knife to compliment the design.
I piled on gourmet berries, cheeses, chocolates and crackers.
Charcuterie is a French word and means cooked meat; mainly pork, which is why Pepperoni, Salami, and Proscuitto are the main attraction.
This one showcases simple slices of DeLallo Pepperoni that contains beef. I have put Coastal Living Magazine award-winning party plates together with smoked salmon drenched in minced olives, lemon and onion.
When the kids are around I swap the aged cheese and Brie for a dish of peanut butter and cheese strips and the occasional crustless PB&J.
For thirty-six dollars this is the cutest non-wooden snack tray I’ve seen.
“Eau De Soleil Blanc… (is) drenched with sparkling citrus. The vibrant twist on the floral amber warmth mirrors crystalline reflection of the white sun, a sensuous gleam of sky on water.”
Containing notes of Bitter Orange Peel and Moroccan Orange Blossom plus Ylang Ylang from the Comores Islands, the fifty milliliter bottle is summer in a bottle for one hundred and twenty eight dollars.
I didn’t leave with just one. Not when the Tom Ford Private Collection is one of the most prized by aficionados around the globe.
Cool, Salty, Refreshing…Costa Azzurra Acqua is an aromatic fragrance with fresh fougere and citrus facets.
Hemingway could have penciled the ambiance of the blend merging cool air and refreshing waters as one.
“The salty waves of wind and sea collide with the warmth of the sun on the body, tempering its pulsating red-blooded heat. An instant hit of exhilarating sea air mixes saltiness with the woody macchiato of the beach, a wild tangle of cypress, juniper and myrtle.”
I never thought I would cross this threshold: wear makeup to the beach. Formerly, for forty-plus years strong, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and lip balm we’re the only components to my midsummer kit and kaboodle. This cosmetics conversation piece, coveted by women of every age and ethnicity, is for the cabana days, pool days, yachting and sailing adventures where the world’s lakes and oceans are the backdrop.
The nautical stripes and embossed, gold lettering foreshadow, the shadows inside.
This lux beauty score straight out of swankey Southern California speaks to my soul. The shadows are affectionately named:
Yacht
Seychelles
Palmero
Seaside
Inheritance
Monte Carlo
Travel from the Estate to the Bahamas in shades reflective of the world’s most desirable waterfront vacation destinations. The creators urge artists, those with a wanderlust, and all color enthusiasts to:
“Set sail with 14 all-new paradise-inspired mattes and metallics, from vibrant jewel tones to bright pops of color”
My favorite luxury body cream is Estée Lauder’s White Linen. Launched back in 1978 this floral and fresh scent is described as cool, clean & crisp.
The Fan Scallop seashell on the porcelain jar captures the essence of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
The top notes contain lemon and peach. The middle: orchid and hyacinth among others. The fragrance, created by Sophia Grosjman ends with honey, Tonka bean and oakmoss.
A seven ounce jar featuring the seashell sells for fifty-five dollars. If a jar can be located. This item sold out across the board before anyone could mark Memorial Day.
The elements capture the purity of white linen dried in the sun.
