Summer Sailing’s A Breeze!

With warm weather at its peak, taking the time to get outdoors and spend some time by the sea, lake or pool is a must! To get prepared for this, kick your summer style up a notch by incorporating themed outfits.



Below are some nautical themed items to get you in the mood to set sail or take a walk on the beach. Keep to the white and blue theme, but add a touch of gold like the accent buttons on the blazer or the gold belt buckle. Don’t go overboard, but adding a few pieces of gold jewelry are also great additions! A summer staple that works well with a nautical-themed ensemble is white pants, which should definitely be in everyone’s closet. Pair these with any tee, a pair of slides, and a tote bag and you’re ready to set sail!

Summertime Memories

One of my favorite summertime memories is when I was growing up, my family would throw a huge Fourth of July party every year. Our friends and neighbors would come over because my family was all about entertaining! They would set up a huge picnic in the backyard filled with buffet style dishes and the drinks to please. The best part was that they also made my favorite lemonade with fresh lemons!! The beverage dispenser below is perfect for summertime festivities or days at the beach, and is big enough to fit almost 6 qts. of lemonade, to satisfy even big groups of lemonade lovers!

Sara’s Catalog Picks

Our latest catalog arrived on my desk earlier this week I wanted to share my favorites…

My top pick is this comfortable Hooded Zip-Up Tee at only $9.99! I love the puff sleeves & the eyelet detail on the pockets, which both add a feminine touch. The wide scoop-neck allows you to pair with accessories such as a scarf or necklace. This is perfect when you are on the run, doing your daily errands, like going to the grocery store or just hanging around the house. Try it and you’ll see!

A pair of white lace-up sneakers, like the ones featured below, go with this top perfectly. You can pair these with jeans or sweatpants and a cute top. These are a great summer staple and can be worn with any of your casual summer outfits. These comfortable sneakers sell for only $16.99! These two pieces together cost less than $30 and are perfect for all of your day-to-day activities.

These are my top two picks for this catalog. Share your favorites! You can also give us your feedback on twitter! Or, check out the rest of our catalog items at BCOutlet.com!

What’s in your beach bag?

Ohhh, they’re back; the lazy, hazy days of summer. For all of you self-proclaimed beach bums, and those of you who just LOVE the sunshine, here’s a list of the must have’s for everything you’ll need for a day at the shore, the pool, or the lake!

• The beach bag itself, because you’re going to need somewhere to put all that stuff… one of my personal favorites is pictured above, but take a look at our site for more options!
Swimsuits – we’ve got plenty to pick from, for every body type!
Cover-ups – for when you want to take a break and go for a walk on the boardwalk.
Sunscreen! A staple in any beach bag – do not forget this!
• Sunglasses – always chic!
• A wide-brimmed straw hat…you’ll be protected from the sun’s damaging rays and will be the most stylish woman around ☺
Sandals to show off your pedicure…and to match your bathing suit!
Towels…even regular bath towels, which are typically more absorbent anyway, make great beach towels!

Don’t forget water so that you don’t get dehydrated, and reading material to keep you busy! Have fun, use sunscreen & enjoy the sunshine!

Treat Your Feet

It’s all about comfort…but comfort doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice fashion! If you’ve ever had foot issues, then you know that shoes can either make or break your day. We would all love to wear orthopedic sneakers everyday if we could, but we just can’t, and the 5 inch pumps that celebrities wear…no way! Here’s a few tips so that your footwear is always appropriate, fashionable comfortable!

Keep the heels to a minimum, if a heel is a must, then kitten heels of 1 inch or less, or a slight wedge will do the trick. These work well with summer or work dresses.



Summer sandals aren’t only for the beach. Pair a great sparkle sandal with some slacks and a nice light blazer for a casual, yet polished look.



My last suggestion is make sure the shoes are comfortable for you! Everyone has different sized feet and not all shoes work for everyone. Find three pairs that are cute and comfortable that you can rotate throughout the week to keep your feet happy.



For more comfortable and stylish footwear, check out BCOutlet.com for our large selection!
