Summertime and the Styling is Easy!

All too often we throw on our worst-looking, but most comfortable (yes, those words often are interchangeable) when we head off for a day at the beach. Unless you’re going to a deserted island, the likelihood of bumping into a co-worker, neighbor, friend or acquaintance is pretty likely. So be prepared…for anything. Just like getting dressed for any day, you have to make sure that your clothes fit and your accessories pop, and the beach is no exception!
Who knows better what the best beach accessories are than a boutique just feet from the sand? WILMA asked CATHERINE YEARWOOD of Hallelu forher best beach-ready pieces, and she shared some of her favorite summertime accessories.
Owner of Edge of Urge, JESSIE WILLIAMS, has been making swimsuits ever since she couldn’t find one that she loved enough to buy.
Understanding a woman’s shape, Williams designs pieces that are versatile- able to be worn up to 10 different ways, reversible and styles that flatter most every figure. Making customized swimwear, mix and matching patterns and prints, high-waist fits and colorblocked tops, your bathing suit turns into an investment piece that you can cherish for years.
