Hi there! 

This summer has been another mermaid-themed one. My love of the ocean and mermaids comes from always living by the water growing up whether in Spain or Connecticut on the shoreline where my parents still live and where I travel to often to get away from Manhattan. This summer I was in the West Side Story cast at the Ivoryton Playhouse, and we had a lot of fun cast outings!

In the first few photos you can see my mermaid shell float from Floaty. It is really good quality and easily inflatable by hair dryer! I had a blast in the pool on that with my mermaid tail I could swim in! They are perfect for kids or adults since they stretch and many companies make them. The flipper inside the bottom of the tail is where both feet go and having just one leg while swimming is a killer workout!

Also at my dressing room station I decorated it with my old little mermaid breakfast placemat, a typoshop water bottle (it says "full time dreamer" with a shell) mermaid tail mug and clam light with a pearl ball that changes color, my friend's gift of a "be mermazing" mermaid tail jewelry holder, and skinnydip London shell coin purse I used for Bobby pins and mints. The blue glass dish is from Home Goods, and I recently got a painting for my bedroom that is mermaid themed from Home Goods too!  

I hope you're having a fantastic summer and if you're into the ocean and mermaids that you enjoy another mermaid post from me! 

Xo,

Carolina

ps I also have these leggings from Lotus Leggings that come in all different colors and look like mermaid fish scales. I wore them taking yoga in Mexico on vacation with my family this Spring!
