Coolibar

So, I may be turning 40 this year and living up to ever ounce of my "aging" but we have discovered - thanks to Erik's parents - an awesome line of clothing.  Coolibar.  Have you heard of it?  Erik's dad has had some issues with skin cancer and they discovered this line of clothing with the UV protection woven into the fabric.  When we asked what we could get as gifts for Christmas, his mom pointed us toward the Coolibar website.  They offer clothing for all ages. And the spf is 50 on most clothes.  The styles are pretty classic, nothing really trendy, but when you live as close to the equator as we do, protecting your skin is a priority and fashion takes a back seat.  Not to say their clothes aren't cute... and I have my eye on a couple of things for the kids... but for practical reasons, we are definitely keeping this website as a favorite.  This sun tunic for Anna would be so great.

And I have this Rash Guard on my list for George. It's so cute and will cover his skin so well!

I got Erik two of these for Christmas. 

Men's Long Sleeve Tee

He loves the breathable fabric - it's not too hot, but still offers the protection he needs.
Really just wanted to share the info with you all.  If you're making your plans for the summer, and skin protection is a priority - Check out Coolibar.  You will be glad you did!

See you in the sun!

Spring Fever

I've got Spring Fever!  As I write this, the weather forecasters are predicting 2-6" inches of snow tonight.  That doesn't do a girl with the fever any good!  If we were still in Alabama Erik and I would be saying "hold on, March brings the teaser days and it will  be warm by April" but here... I don't know what to expect.  We are going on vacation in two days!  Erik's family has a place in south Florida so we are going to join all the snow birds and hopefully have some sun and sand and escape the frigid temps of NOVA.  All this packing and planning for warmer weather has got me dreaming of the spring.  I love Project333.  I would say that I adopted it, but to be honest, over the last few years, my clothes have dwindled down, that I didn't need to pair down my wardrobe.  However, I really do love how she encourages you to wear clothes different ways.  It has inspired me for spring.  Check out my pinterest board for some ideas of how to wear something multiple ways.  And just for a little more inspiration check out one of the blogs on my roll, Sell Eat Love.  3 things I love about her blog.  1. She tells what brand of everything she is wearing.  2. She is a beautiful girl with a real body and she wears clothes so well!  I'm inspired by the way she puts things together.  3. I love her accessories, and they are often reused...which lines up perfectly with the project 333.  I'd love to sit here and dream a little more, but I've go to pack!
