Beach vacation on your radar?! Or just on the hunt for some new swimwear and easy summer looks? I have got you covered on this post!

My family and I took our annual trip to Hilton Head Island the week before last. Hilton Head is a special place to me since I grew up there until age six and have been going back to visit at least once a year each year since. I have so many wonderful childhood memories on this island, and I love re-creating them with my own kids!

This year’s trip was extra special since almost all of my extended family was able to make it. We had lots of fun in the sun with all the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!

Here are some of the beach-looks I wore and loved ::

swimsuit | kimono | flipflops | hat

White swimsuits are my all-time fav and it is NOW 40% off and just $65! This one is super flattering and has pretty criss-cross back detailing. {I am wearing a 6.}

The colors in this Amazon kimono are gorg and it is just $15! I also love wearing it over shorts and a tank top, or with white jeans.

Speaking of white swimsuits, this adorable ruffled one is from Target and just the cutest! {And if white suits are not your thing, it also comes in a chic black version!}

This tie-die kimono is also from Target, as is my beach bag. I carried this clear tote each day to the beach. It’s perfect since you can literally rinse out the sand after the trip! {I am wearing a size small swimsuit.}

swimsuit | shorts | sunglasses | earrings

You may remember this fun $22 Amazon swimsuit from Spring Break! It’s one of my favorite suits of the season, and I love how it looks paired with shorts as a simple coverup. {It is flattering and provides great coverage. I am wearing a size small.}

These sunglasses are a new steal find for just $16! They look almost identical to my $250 designer Karen Walkers.

This one is probably my all-time favorite swimsuit. It literally flatters EVERYONE! It comes in a bunch of colors, many of which are on sale right now. {It’s also supportive if you are larger chested!}

Wore this fun little dress to dinner at Skullcreek Dockside one night. I cannot believe this was our first time at Skullcreek. It’s hands-down the best place to take kiddos! It was quite a long wait but there was so much space for the kids to run, lot of outdoor games, a playground and this gorgeous dock to walk down. The food, drinks and sunset view were also fab.

Thanks to Southeast Toyota, our family got to enjoy road-tripping to the beach is this capable 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax truck! It’s the first time I ever experienced a truck at the beach and, boy, was it awesome!

First off, the cabin of the truck is super roomy and comfortable. Mike loved driving it to the beach, I enjoyed the comfortable passenger seat and my twins were thrilled about the amount of space and leg-room they had in the back seat.

This Tundra carried it all…from our beach-umbrella and beach chairs, to fishing rods and beach toys to all our luggage and an oversized cooler, as well as the new paddle board we brought on the trip! The back window of this Tundra rolls down, which allowed easy-carrying of the paddle board to and from the beach each day. It was so nice to keep all the wet & sandy beach gear in the bed of the truck and to simply wash it out after the trip.

If you are in the market for a new truck, you must check this Toyota Tundra! Our entire family loved it, and Mike is currently trying to figure out how to get one to keep! He knows it would be perfect to haul around the new boat we are getting later this summer!

top | shorts | sandals | sunglasses

This pineapple tee screams Summer Vacation and is just the cutest! And, if you don’t yet own one of these headbands, get one immediately! I wear this raffia one and my solid white one ALL the time!

Last but not least, these flip-flops are one of my favorite Amazon purchases of the Summer! They are $18 and come in several colors. I wore them every day to the beach and they held up great! Highly recommend.
