Beach it in the Backyard

I always say, if you can’t get to the beach, bring the beach to you. Okay, this isn’t exactly true, as I don’t think I’ve really ever said this before, but believe me I’ve thought it. The swimming pool, ANY pool, becomes your own private beach when you live in a place where 115 degrees is considered the average summer temperature. Besides, I wouldn’t dare rock these gorgeous sandals in the company of sand. Yeah, take that, beach.
