Summer is here, which means it's time to hit the pool and beach! When I lived in NYC, we loved going to Rockaway Beach. I sure miss that place. If I wasn't living halfway across the country these days, I'd be there this weekend, no doubt!
Now that we're in Dallas without a coast in sight, my husband and I are all about the pool. I think we spent every weekend at our apartment building's pool last summer. It was the perfect way to beat the Texas heat!
I can't hit the pool without some fun, but affordable beach accessories. Which means that it's time for the next edition of my Faves Under $50 series! Each month, I’m sharing my favorite finds under $50 for everything from clothes to home decor.
To celebrate all things summer, this month I’m sharing the must have under $50 pool and beach accessories!
