By Carla snuggs

Happy Summer! I am back with another fashion fave blog post! Enjoy this roundup of some of my fashion and jewelry faves for August! You’ll find from everything from beautiful jewelry to amazing swimwear and luxurious accessories from some of my new fave brands!

Salty Mermaid Banded BIKINI  

This very unique SUSTAINABLE SWIM brand called Salty Mermaid offers two-piece and one-piece swimsuits that are very high quality and so so cute. This is a brand with a conscience - founder Sarah Jon Porreca gives back to a number of causes including Rhino Rescue, Ocean Conservation and Toucan Rescue in Costa Rica.  90% of the brand’s suits are made from recycled materials.  

It’s a 5-year old brand that’s woman-owned with an all-female team, conceptualized and designed on the West Coast. The brand sources a luxurious fabric that won’t sag, pill or fade like most other brands, and their unique styles and prints are an influencer favorite!!  

All styles are available on their website at SaltyMermaid.com and they also know how hard it is to shop for swimwear online so that’s why they offer their popular try-before-you-buy program!   Shop: Saltymermaid.com

Joyamo Bangle Bracelet With Heart Charms  

 I love hand-finished jewelry from JoyAmo! This sublime Bangle Bracelet with Heart Charms also makes a great gift as it will be treasured even more because it comes from you.

Add sophisticated, yet trendy style to your glam-cation this summer with the luxe fashion from BeMystique.

The bold patterns and light, airy fabrics are perfect for your summer vacations or even lounging at home. Be Mystique is a woman-founded brand!

Constant Sol

The sun is the ultimate source of Vitamin D and happier moods, but also UV rays. Add Constant Sol to your closet and enjoy all-over protection from the sun’s damaging effects. Founder Allison Dvorak loves the sun just as much as the next person, but she also knows firsthand how painful it can be. Previously having melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, she used that experience to design a luxury clothing brand that provides comprehensive sun protection with chic style. Most clothing unfortunately doesn’t provide an adequate amount of protection from UV rays. To truly shield you from unseen damages and not just heat, your clothing should have a high UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. Whether you are out to lunch with friends or at a beach wedding, Constant Sol helps you enjoy the sunshine with UPF 50+ fabrics, the highest rating possible for fabrics. The Luxe Essential and Sunsafe Stretch are both third-party certified to offer excellent protection while still being breathable and lightweight for those dog days of summer. Starting Price: at $60 Shop: Constantsol.com

ATRAC USA

Atrac (short for "attraction" because of the highest quality magnets used inside of these accessory holders) is one of those essentials you will buy and wonder "How did I ever live without this?" It is the life saver for glamping, camping, vacations, etc! Keep your wallet, keys, phone in one place with a magnetic strap for convenience! ATRAC is almost like a snap bracelet but with magnets that you can "slap" or "wrap" around your purse/backpack strap without losing them. They stay in place! They also hang from your wrist or gym pants! You can even hang it from your bathing suit bottoms! ATRAC is designed to keep your keys and or cellphone right where they are supposed to be so you don’t have to spend minutes rummaging through your purse digging for your keys while your children are throwing tantrums at the grocery store. The patent-pending strap is high quality vegan leather and made to look like a luxurious accessory for any activity in your life.  Price: $27-84 Shop: Atracusa.com
