Illegal at the Pool

I spent a little time poolside this weekend with some good friends and their super fabulous boys! These faces are so cute you just want to squeeze their cheeks and love them. So, whilst enjoying some fun in the sun, I noticed some do and don'ts of the pool:

Don'ts

• Men, please wear swim trunks as long as or longer than your everyday shorts. No need for short shorts at the pool. And if you do done those daisy duke swim trunks, get some sun on those legs!
• That bandu that won't stay up. I get the trend, I mean there are some super cute bandu tops out there, but ladies they are meant for women with a small to mid-size chest. They are not meant for your double-d's... If your top cannot support the girls, I suggest a different top!
• Now ladies again, you are at the pool. I know you have busy lives and kids and a job, but make sure you are groomed. 'nuff said!
• Bottoms... wow, I mean I could devote an entire post to this, but I will not. No matter what age you are, your bottoms should cover your well bottom! Just because you are 16 or in really good shape, no one wants/needs to see your cheeks! And why we are talking bottoms, make sure they also cover your well, uh groceries... Yes I'm talking to you under the age 18 who think its ok to wear floss to the pool.
• Men, seersucker is not a swim appropriate fabric
• no one should drink so much that they: a) forget the have children or b) forget where they are
• waterproof mascara - I totally broke this rule and looked like spiderman/Black Swan

Do's

• Awesome sunnies and a large hat! Tre chic and protects the face
• sunscreen!
• super cute bikini on the baby girl!
• flip flops, adorned, bejeweled, wedge, it doesn't matter
• cover ups
• retro-cut swim suits!
• chapstick with SPF
• a good book/nook/kindle/ipad!

It's officially summer ya'll! So pack the cooler, lather up with SPF and enjoy the wind, water, & waves!
